Unique? Wasn't Toby in a similar situation?
Christian Eriksen | Signs for Inter
- Thread starter United Pro
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

It's in their interest though so that might speed things along.
Why? When we can lure him with Tom Cleverly's old number 23. There's no fecking way he's turning that down.Eriksen is number 23 at Spurs aint he?
Sell Lukaku and give Rashford the 9 and Eriksen the 10
Lets say Spurs have already accepted that they need to sell Eriksen this window rather than lose him for nothing next summer and have identified Bruno Fernandes as his replacement. Maybe they see selling us Eriksen as a necessary evil that gives them a free run at Fernandes.
Yep this is soooooo on
Whether it can be done remains to be seen but I'm confident something is happening here
I think he was 3 and then changed back to 23.
Don’t get me started on the whole player numbers at the club they’re a mess... but Shaw was 3 originally but requested 23 in his second season.
If I was Spurs hierarchy I'd be quietly confident of getting top 4 even without Erikson. They are going to be 3rd as it stands and swapping out Erikson for Bruno wouldn't change that while appeasing Poch and shipping out an Erikson who's demotivated.
The stadium payments need balancing too.

Why? Bigger number take the focus off of his fat ass or something?
I'd love this to be on, Eriksen is quality, knows the leaugue etc.
Will Levy sell to us for a 'reasonable' price though... £50-£70m or so, i'd be all in for this, but if it's the £130 someone mentioned a few pages back, i can't see it happening.

I'd say that there is a chance yes - Eriksen clearly just wants to leave now and we really need to sell him and very quickly to enable us to get money in to get a replacement. As much as selling to Utd would not be ideal, if you guys are interested and put the money up and nobody else does then we will 100% sell him to you.
He was always number 23 at Southampton he wants it to be his legacy...
I forgot about him. He's always ruining my plans. Deals off, I'm zipping up again.
No bids came in for him, I’d say his agent briefed any interested club that he will be available on a free next summer.
I got feeling this will happen. Done deal!!!

Why are no other teams in for him? He's a top player.
is it EriksON?
Madrid should be but Zidane is a dumb idiot who’s too focused on Pogba who wouldn’t solve any of their issues.
Why not do Levy a favour.
Throw 100m at him for Eriksen AND Alderweireld. Hell we could even capatilise on the whole Argie connection with Poch and give them Rojo too. Even throw Smalling in the deal. Hell even Darmian now they are short of a right back.
We would trim our squad whilst strengthening their depth. It would be a bargain on both sides.
If any of our lot dont want to move to Spurs then we just have to remind them of the Cathedral City stadium they will be playing in every week to twist their arm.

Astonishing they don't see the value in Eriksen for 60m compared to Pogba for 150m.
I’m clinging onto your every word mate
Do you want anyone from our team that doesn’t include DDG and Pogba in exchange?
Even if we get him signed on for next year, Pogba out for 150m+ and Eriksen on a free... that could go some way of easing the pain.
My mum reckons it's all a smokescreen for the deadline day signing of Hairy Kane for 120 Mills.
We’re always confident yet barely sign anyone. It’s not happening. Levy will take us to the cleaners.
Any more news @Champ ?
I like the cut of your mums gib!
Mata 2.0, do not want
just covering my bases so I'm not too disappointed when he doesn't arrive.

Not meaning to shoot the messenger but this 'article' reads like the definition of speculative garbage.
Yeah cant see this happening in 3 days somehow. Lets face it we arent exactly quick with transfers and we are dealing with Spurs and Levy. Id be amazed if it happens.
Whether this transfer happens or not, I'm unsure about, however, people also need to realise that Spurs needs to get Eriksen out is a just as much as we need him in. Spurs need to recoup the money to spend on their own targets. So yes, it can happen in the time remaining.
no not necessarily. They are linked with Fernandes as are we. We can back off Fernandes and let them have a free run at it. Even if we aren't truly interested in Fernandes we could drive his price up. Levy doesn't hold all the cards here, he can get money for a player in last yr of contract, get a free run at his replacement
Levy can sell him, we can bid but does Eriksen himself want to come here though?
They've already flogged Tripper, who's been a creative outlet for them. Getting rid of their best creative outlet and replacing him with an unknown quantity is very risky. Could pay off long term, but short term they'll struggle. This isn't some average player. Eriksen tops the stats in the Premier League as well. He and De Bruyne are miles clear of everyone else in the league. It'll be a huge blow to them. It's why we should do everything we can to sign him, solves a massive issue with our squad while weakening Tottenham significantly. It's a win, win from our perspective.
