If a child's father is called Eriksen and he calls his child Erik, is that child then called Eriksensen?

Great news, cracking player - think he'll get a lot of game time this year - maybe sitting deeper than we've seen him usually play.
Have zero excitement for this transfer whatsoever. There's way too much pressure at this club for a player who actually died on a pitch not long ago.
Christ, we never learn. This will be Schweinsteiger/ Sanchez all over again.

With his heart issue? Damn.
One thing's for sure, it takes courage to come back from what he had.

It's not like he was on vacation the last six months

Meh.. replaces Mata as a likeable player but our window so far is super underwhelming
I like this signing very much. Now, we can afford to drop Bruno from time to time. Bruno really didn't meet my expectations last season.
He's a brilliant, intelligent footballer who has never relied on pace/strength (the main declining attributes of age), who has a new lease of life - exhibited by excellent performances in the premier league last season. Oh, he's also FREE. It's definitely an exciting transfer.
Doubt he will play 90 every week, but he will add some much needed composure when he is on the pitch.
Could be a good signing, he might give Bruno some guidance on how to keep the ball.

I'm with you. I see plenty of possibility to have them both in the same lineup. I'd expect Bruno and Eriksen to interchange frequently during the game. Have two players with their quality in delivery means it's going to add a wonderful dimension to our play and make it that much harder for defenses to track.
True, but I also disagree with taking that risk. For him, not the club.

Their footballing skills did.
Either him or AWB and neither is good.Dalot
Don't bother cheering when he scores or provides an assist then if so unhappy about it
I agree but feel they will get a chance for NOW
Post of the day.
We are getting Erikson reborn
Always considering his health and the whole psychology around that, as a fan. But, I think this is a super signing. A wonderful player and we need that in our dressing room.
How he plays alongside Bruno is the interesting (and potentially, complicated..) thing though. No idea how you fit both of them into many of the games we will be facing. One has to play deep and dictate play... and both, I think, are best further forward, creating and taking chances. For home games, against many opposition, this will be a joy to watch. But against the more astute teams, we will just have to see what Ten Hag is thinking. But a good signing.
But this window has been awfully flat, underwhelming and doesn't really inspire (well, doesn't inspire me so much...).

Maybe in the past, but he certainly didn't show it this season. Thats if he even was available to play.
Nameless keeper. No CF. Very good.
What’s your excited look?
People aren't happy with this buy, did you see him at Old Trafford this season? Was one of the best players on the pitch.
You’ll have to go back to the ‘Pogba signs’ or ‘Sanchez signs’ threads
Except Eriksen has just been playing in the PL for the past several months and bossing it?
So not really anything like either deal.
He’s just turned 30 not 35 ffs.
Yep. Amazing he is younger.
The answer is no. They didn’t see him play nor do they know anything about football. It’s the only explanation
I think people have to bear in mind we need quality in the Europa League too. That might be our chance of getting to the champions league.
Or slamming it into the first man.Don't be silly, 5 mins inside old trafford and he will ballooning them out for a throw in like the rest.
Christ Erisen?
I have a huge sneaking suspicion we will see Bruno move up to false 9 given how well fitted he is to the role, and how much of a liability he is for a possession based team when sitting deeper.
I have no idea of the quality of other possible signings. This along with De Jong would be my favourite transfers of the summer. I have always admired Erikson since his Spurs days. His passing and vision just ooze quality.
Nice
Very happy with this signing. Frenkie next, Anthony, a CB and one more hopefully.
I will struggle with the fecking misspellings of his very straight forward name on this forum, but all in all I'm happy.
You know what I mean FFS.
I think it will be one of these 2 personally (with positions potentially changing in game with subs):
Eriksen FDJ
Sancho Bruno Rashford
Martial/new St
OR
