Edingleyfox Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 (edited) It would certainly be a statement of intent if we got Eriksen in. Perhaps Kasper could facilitate this and we could add another colleague in Damsgaard on the wing as well! OK maybe a bit too hopeful but it would give everyone a boost Edited 21 June 2022 by Edingleyfox

He was at Brentford last season. Poor blokes been through enough to play for either us or Man Utd!
Guest nathan. Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 United still have much more pull than we do I’m afraid.

Deeg67 Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 The idea of “I’m worried I might die if I play for Man. U but not if I play for Leicester” seems very odd to me. Eriksen either considers himself healthy enough to play football or he doesn’t. It’s football. I would think, in his shoes, it would be more compelling that ever to want the matches I play in to have real significance (like CL matches, for example). Just because a team has European football doesn’t mean they’d play Eriksen 50 times a season. There’s a lot of projection happening here. Absent reason to believe otherwise I don’t assume Eriksen has cast aside ambition,

Absent reason to believe otherwise I don’t assume Eriksen has cast aside ambition, It's not Eriksen's ambition I am questioning at all. I am sure he wants to play all the games. It is the clubs' lawyers and insurers opinion on the matter that I am questioning. And their opinions actually do matter. (I am not saying I know those opinions, but I wouldn't be surprised if his doctors have made certain recommendations as to his playing time.) Yes, clubs wouldn't need to play him 50 times a year, but an inability to play 50 times a year does enter the picture when negotiating a deal.
Stevosevic Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 He’s got multiple better offers than us unfortunately
Stevosevic Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 Has an offer from us apparently. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10936983/Tottenham-step-Christian-Eriksen-bid-focus-signings.html
Bourbon Fox Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 Is nobody slightly worried at the prospect of signing a player who has suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch? 1
Mickyblueeyes Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 if we were to sign Eriksen and a defender. With only Tielemans going the out (excluding squad player disposal). That is a significant upgrade in squad then last season. Exceptional player - who knows this league.

I'd be more worried about having a player with a yet to be determined heart issue, history suggests its those who are most in danger. 5

He has an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, he is far safer with that than having an undiagnosed condition. Daley Blind has been playing with one since 2019 for Ajax and Netherlands.

Jobyfox Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 Yes he would be a great addition and would sweeten the pill of losing YT, but just can’t see it happening. What can we offer him? London? Nope CL football? Nope European football? Nope Biggest salary? highly unlikely Shared bathing facilities with Kasper? Yep, definitely!! I think we should try and sell it to him on the latter point
Dahnsouff Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 We would offer more playing time I imagine. If he goes to Man Utd, he won`t be first choice. 2
JimJams Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 He's said it's been his lifes ambition to play as an inverted right winger. So it's a no from me.

One typical Erikson performance and he would be first on the team sheet. Chris has a heart problem but his brain is still razor sharp.

I'd argue that we played our best football under BR early on with Ndidi playing deep and Maddison and Youri playing as duel 8s in a 4-1-4-1. Also, Eriksen would be more at home in the 4-3-3 we are currently playing than Youri due to the mobility and Brentford have been playing a 4-3-3 during his time there. For me, Eriksen is intelligent enough to play as most roles at CM. What does Youri have that he doesn't? But you aren't paying a transfer fee, even at 200k a week for 2 years it's cheaper the buying someone for 20m. Edited 21 June 2022 by coolhandfox

He’d be Uniteds best central midfielder arguably, though it depends if they want him to play deeper or as a deputy to Bruno. If it’s the latter he won’t be first choice.

He wont want us to qualify for europe or go far in the cups? Not to mention the fact that he will be rotated at Man U... whereas theres a chance we will play him whenever we can.

True, but it does fly in the face of our buy to sell on policy. Though I guess you could get a mill or two out of a sale a couple of years from now. He could be our new Cambiasso. He won't be. But he could.
splinterdream Posted 21 June 2022 Posted 21 June 2022 There's something about eriksen that I think would have seriously challenging top 6 again.......which is why we won't sign him
