Eriksen yes, Rose and Verts, not so much imo.
Nobody has shown any interest in Verts, so what are we supposed to do?
It's not uncommon for older players in a team to run their contract down and then either retire, or head to a lower level. I'm more than happy for Jan, after the service he's given, to run his contract down and leave on a free.
Rose was brilliant a couple of years ago but now, he's in danger of becoming 'damaged goods'.
We can't expect to sell everyone, especially as they get older.
Alderweireld was the 3rd rather than Rose

No, it's disrespectful. How did you lose track of the point so quickly?

He was part of the reason. It's like moving home because you don't want shit on the kitchen floor, and it was you who curled it out
How is saying one club has more chance of winning a trophy than another disrespectful?

Eriksen was one of our top performers for a number of years and underperformed at the end when his head was elsewhere.

I haven't lost track of the point, I get it and believe it is ridiculous.

Amazing how we live in a world where everyone is deemed a snowflake for speaking out against racism, sexism etc but it's football fans who are the touchiest, whiniest bunch of weak willed people out the lot.

Lets all have a group hug because a player thinks Inter have more chance of winning a trophy than us. Maybe we can sue him for our collective hurt feelings.

Thanks mate for being here during these dark times.

I'm sure it's easier to win a trophy in one of the top four clubs in Italy than in one of the top four clubs in England I'm sure that's the case.

In fairness Inter haven’t won a trophy in a long time either so not like he’s nailed on over there, seems like a bit of a dig but i’m not fussed what Eriksen says, he went out with a whimper and ultimately thats how i’ll remember him which considering how important he was for us for quite a long time is weird but thats on him.

Edit -Not that he gives a flying fuck how i’ll remember him.

Because he has had ample opportunity to win big trophies at Spurs. The collective reason for not winning trophies is because the team isn't capable, due to either the manager and/or the players as a group.

Playing like shit in the CL Final and then suggesting that he somehow has a better chance at a trophy with Inter is just Eriksen completely ignoring the fact that he might have won trophies with us if he'd been on better form when he had the chance to. It's not like Bale, who single-handedly carried us and was far better than anyone else in the team - Eriksen was lucky that his pass didn't knock us out of the CL before we got near the final.

To put it succinctly - he's got no better chances of winning anything at Inter because he contributed to the reason why he didn't win anything at Spurs. It's the same for nearly every player in the team; the only one I think can get just about get away with saying otherwise would be Kane.

Well he's not wrong he has got a better chance because Inter are competing against Juve and there is 3 points between them unlike the 19 Liverpool have put between them and second, We have to compete against, City/Pool/UTD/Arsenal/Chelsea and have other teams getting better like Wolves and Everton. Maybe he just didn't have the stomach for it

I'm not sure his drop in form was as much to do with his head as how football has changed in this country over the last couple of seasons.
Smaller teams used to sit back and allow the bigger teams lots of time and space with the ball until they reached their area.
Players such as Eriksen and Ozil used to thrive on that.
But the last couple of years they are now pressing higher up the pitch, and without that time and space these players started to look very ordinary.

His choice of the Italian league makes me wonder if he had recognised this so wanted to go to a style of football that would suit him more.

I’ve just witnessed Eriksen:

a) Win a tackle
b) Hit the corner of the post and bar with a 30 yard free kick

I watched the game, he did one thing only in the game, and lost the ball a few times before he hit that one off free kick. He was as pants for them as he was for us this season, always passing safe and back he didnt do anything to influence the win, dont be fooled by that one of free kick, he wont last too much in a conte team if he continues to play like this. He is so soft and Conte will not put up with that and neither will the inter fans , he needs to change big time
