Conte didn't play Eriksen much, either.
I don't know why people are putting 2 + 2 together to make 5 with regards to Eriksen and Conte, because he wasn't a player he was very complimentary about, and was far from a favourite of his. When he first signed, I'm sure Conte went so far as to say it wasn't his transfer, and maintained that sort of partiality the whole time he was at Inter.

exactly and there is a reason for it as good as eriksen is on the ball he lacks fight conte and mourinho love players like barella and kante who will sacrifise for the team i love ndombele at the ball but thats the exact reaon why he will never become a top top player.i know eriksen works harder than ndombele but both are weak and soft in the defending and tackling.looking back at it i cant believe how wrong i was about jose he knew most of our players are weak and lack fight.i completely understand why he wanted mentality monsters like osimhen luis diaz skriniar rüdiger etc those are players that sacrifise for team play dirty to win and are obsessed about winning every battle those are the kind of players i want

Strong argument that he was the best player out of the whole talented bunch.
Conducted the play and pushed double figures for both goals and assists every season with many being of the highest quality.

Conte can’t have disliked him that much, as he started 26 Serie A matches in the 20/21 season they won the league. Started 4 of 6 in the Champions league that season. Stastically speaking that would seem to imply that Conte believed in his ability to ‘fight’ and ‘sacrifice’, otherwise why did he play him?

did you see inters midfield options apart from brozovic and barella it really wasnt a great choice fair enough to eriksen for getting a place in his team in the end i stil dont want him back i have higher aspirations then bringing eriksen back to the club and hope the club do aswell

the more I see you post the more I think he must have run over your cat or something. you have 23 ish posts I say ish as you've probably slated him twice more while I write this and I counted 18 bashing Eriksen and your ratings bar is starting to look like the flag of Contes homeland. To say Conte didn't rate him is mental he spent 6 months getting him up to speed in his system and then he was one of his most used players. The only downside to him coming back is if you would struggle to watch him because of his heart. He knows spurs, He knows Conte's system, he has qualities we are hugely lacking, his only "poor" spell for us where he was still probably our most productive player came when he lost motivation. He has huge motivation now to get his career back on track... if you don't want him great but some of the exaggerations your coming out with are just weird.

i geniuly dont any player literally no hate for any player i can think of i just want a tougher more physical and more agressive squad and eriksen doesnt improve that whatsoever i want shithouses that can play football as well like osimhen bruno guimares rüdiger for example we just signed one in romero the softness needs to dissapear from the squad so why sign more soft players if you dont agree thats fine

my targets would be in order
CB 1. Rüdiger 2. Schlotterbeck 3. Pau Torres
RWB 1. Lamptey 2.Adama 3. Ridle Baku
CM 1. Bruno Guimares 2. Bissouma 3. Tielemans
RW 1. Luis Diaz 2. Antony 3. Raphinha
ST 1. Osimhen2.Vlahovic 3. Gakpo
obviously there are many other quality targets as well
i know we will not get most of them but those are the players that will put us into conversations with the teams above us what i dont want are more bergwijns ndombeles or over the hill players like trippier that will take us nowhere

3 years ago Ndombele/Bergwijn would have been` on on that list.

ndombele would have been because i was impressed in the cl by him but i didnt know about his lack of intensity and application during games maybe he played out of his skin in the cl to impress i obviously didnt watch him in ligue 1. i have never been impressed by bergwijn when i watched him before we signed so i never wanted him in the first place when i watched psv i used to be far more impressed by lozano
Eriksen training with us gives a free look at whether he can cut it and do a job. Looks like a no-risk opportunity, if he shapes up great and if not we’ve done right by an old favourite giving him a chance to get back into training.
Tactically the way Conte sets up we frequently see PEH dropping back to receive the ball between Dier and Davies, sadly he doesn’t have the vision or passing skills to pull that role off, a fit and motivated Eriksen option would. Why would you not take the opportunity to train with us and see where’s he at.

Bloody hell he's less than a year removed from helping win the Serie A title. A cardiac arrest doesn't distinguish his football talent. If anything I would argue the Jimenez injury has a bigger impact on football. The medical team just need to monitor his health more closely but he's still a fit 29 year old.
He started 17 matches, the other 9 were sub appearances. Also 1 start in the CL and 3 subs (after 80th minute on average)

These arrests are often sudden. There are no warnings for half the cases, and outside of hospital you have a 8% chance of survival. He has been very lucky.
If you have one arrest, then you are more likely to have another...should you survive.
There doesn't seem to be a plan to remove the icd, so the medical opinion seems to be he needs it. And with it, contact sports are not advised. That is the bottom line really.
Someone raised the interesting question of other people accidentally getting shocked with an icd. And the internet says the icd would be harmless to them, as it gives an internal shock at much lower voltages than the external ones.
In fact, it is essential to carry on giving them cpr and apply an external aed if available, as it will not trigger if the internal one has done its job. The icd will not explode or anything if the aed decides it needs to shock. That's from the bhf.

Good post.
Just to clarify that in the UK, if you’ve survived a cardiac arrest without an obvious reversible cause (e.g. a heart attack from a blocked coronary artery or a very abnormal salt in your blood - usually potassium and a variety of other common causes), you get an ICD.
Given his happened out of the blue and we are not privvy to his medical history, he will most likely have an ICD for life.
There is a risk of his ICD firing but this is unpredictable and dependent on what may have contributed to his cardiac arrest in the first instance.
Some professional athletes are advised they simply have to stop playing by elite sports as it is cardiac stress that contributes to the risk of further cardiac arrest, but that seems unlikely as he’s been given the all clear to pursue a career. Daley Blind has an ICD inserted for a diagnosis of myocarditis and so shows you can still play at the highest level with a defibrillator and I hope Eriksen can do the same whether that’s with us or elsewhere.
Finally, being shocked by an ICD is no small thing. It can be extremely painful and can occasionally still lead to a loss of consciousness albeit transiently. The ICD will however try other things before defaulting to an actual shock to try and restore the heart’s normal rhythm if possible.
If Conte wants him and our medical team are satisfied, I would love to see him back although I am dubious as to whether he could reach his former heights again.
