I just fundamentally don't understand your logic. You keep talking about him "accepting" being sold as if we're trying to offload him but he's not budging, but that's the exact opposite of the current situation. We want to keep him but he wants to leave, preferably to Real Madrid. Unfortunately for him, he came out about it in public and then Real Madrid never came in for him and hung him out to dry. It's got nothing to do with him "accepting" being sold at all. If anything it's now about him accepting that he's here for another season and applying himself properly so that he attracts Madrid's attention next time around.
Not sure why you would have to add the adjective "fundamentally" as is there is a "fundamental" flaw in the logic.
Yes. I believe we should have tried to offload Eriksen this summer. That is fundamentally part of my thinking.
