Have enjoyed Eriksen at Spurs but I feel his time is done.
He has been poor this year and has seemed 'gone' for a few months now, however this poor play may have been noticed by RM and they have decided to move on, should we offer him a new contract if that is the case, a NO from me, he has mentally left THFC and will not get that feeling back. Lets replace him with a younger more dynamic player and move forward as a club.
Seriously? If we could get him to sign a new contract we could focus our resources on more pressing positions and instead replace Lamela who seems to perma crocked. Bumping Eriksen contract is much cheaper than replacing him.
The thing is that this whole Spurs team has played under par for large parts of the season. Even Kane has played under par, Alli has most definitely played under par. Eriksen has also played under par but has still been better than the aforementioned. Yet some wants to flog him based on some perceived notion that his "heart isn't in it", which they naturally gathered from watching his facial expression on a TV screen. Eriksen has always been a role model professional if he'd sign a new contract with us it would be because he has been convinced that's the best alternative for his career right now - and he would act accordingly and give his best to achieve the club goals.
We have some passengers in the squad at the moment. But Eriksen isn't one of them as I see it. I'm still fairly certain he'll leave but not offering him a new contract, trying to sway him, would be ludicrous.
