Player watch: Christian Eriksen

[sidford]

Disagree on this, Liverpool were screaming out for a player like Eriksen to open games up for them with a pass in the games they drew and City have David Silva retiring, Eriksen would be the perfect replacement.

City have Bernardo to replace David.
Pool were successful last season because they had such a solid midfield 3 in front of back 4, an eriksen type player who disrupt that.

Bernardo isn't Silva replacement, firstly they play within the same 11 together regularly, secondly they've gone two seasons with them in the same squad together so I don't see how you can say that when clearly they always have an abundance of depth.

Eriksen to utd would be a sickener.

How others say different is beyond me.

This isn't 1995.

I'd imagine bernando is seen as the david successor. that they're playing at the same time is irrelevant. unlike with spurs, some clubs seem to plan ahead.

aside from financial reward, I see no reason for him to go there. we are a better team than them, with a better manager, and I'd envisage this will be the case for some time (no rose tinted specs).

I don't think any of you have watched City play if you think Bernardo Silva is his replacement, they play Fernandinho Holding with KDB and Silva infront followed by Bernardo Silva and Sterling either side of a striker. Silva was keeping Mahrez and Sane out the team not David Silva.

Well that financial reason is pretty huge. They'll pay him wages we arent willing to give a player, and if/when we do, it'll be to Harry Kane.

“I have learnt a lot from playing alongside him (David),” said Bernardo.

Cheers for making my point.

he could get a better team and higher wages - if not this season, then next.

do you not realise that just because he's playing in a different position currently, he could replace in due course?

Surely Foden is being groomed to be David Silva's replacement?

 

[Mornstar]

Bingo. Scandinavians are very reserved people. I know from experience.

That is soon racialist

We'll get nothing for him next season. If Eriksen refuses to sign a new contract, Levy will likely accept the first bid over £40m this summer.

Possibly, he has taken up those positions when KDB has been injured and KDB/Silva are interchangeable in that system.

he doesn't have to go? could get higher wages/significant signing on fee/elite team next season.

Would it be racialist of me to correct the grammar?

But what you're suggesting is that once Silva retires then they won't bother adding a player, it's Man City, that is absolutely foolish to think they won't spend 50-60 mill on a replacement down the line.

this is all speculation. bored now.
