The dark Knight is a right Joker.

What the feckI trust EtH and love what I've seen so far, but I can't help getting the feeling that the signing is out of pity (and Ajax connections) than that of necessity.

Yeah. Also a part of my concern.Signing an attacking midfielder when it’s nowhere among the biggest issue in the team (if at all) and the same for LB feels like the dentition of a scattergun approach.
Yep. Great players are versatile. You're talking to the Scotland fan who wanted to play Andy Robertson as an anchorman... Still do, actually.Keep in mind we've lost a lot of experience in Matic, Mata, and even Pogba. We can't just have 23 year old players, it's always nice to mix in some experienced players.
Eriksen will add the experience, he's great at freekicks and corners, where we've been poop for years, especially corners.
Also real world isn't like games, not accusing you of thinking that, but intelligent players like Eriksen can cover more positions than many others can.
Talking about intelligence, i always thought it was a shame that two of our slowest players, Mata and Matic, clearly had the best football brains in the squad, so it's nice to add some more of that, especially in the midfield.
Personally i think Eriksen will start most matches, and be one of our best players the coming season. Calling the POTY of the teamnow before the season starts!
Sexist pig!Inside info from your shag piece?
I was saying the same for a long time, but I'm hopeful Erik knows we need at least GK/LB/RB/CB/DM/CM/ST/RW and that the order of those depend on the ones available on the market.Signing an attacking midfielder when it’s nowhere among the biggest issue in the team (if at all) and the same for LB feels like the dentition of a scattergun approach.
Might not be the biggest issue, but we have got rid of Mata, Lingard and Pogba. They are not all starters of course, and not all play the same position, but they are all attacking players who usually play somewhere in the midfield.Signing an attacking midfielder when it’s nowhere among the biggest issue in the team (if at all) and the same for LB feels like the dentition of a scattergun approach.
He’s not just an attacking mid though is he? I’m sure it’s been discussed plenty of times. He also fits the new style and philosophy.Signing an attacking midfielder when it’s nowhere among the biggest issue in the team (if at all) and the same for LB feels like the dentition of a scattergun approach.
It’s the position he’s played for most of his career. He might’ve been wide on paper at Spurs but in role he was nothing like a wide player.He’s not just an attacking mid though is he? I’m sure it’s been discussed plenty of times. He also fits the new style and philosophy.
It’s an absolute no brainier on a free given the amount of players we have lost in the summer too.

STV?Yeah. Also a part of my concern.
Fine. He'll probably be a squad pl

Yeah. I agree about replacing the experience that we've lost. It is a squad game and we certainly need numbers, but I don't think this is the way to go.
l.o.l I'm bookmarking this page. See you at the end of the season.
Nah. Alba. Hope he can speak Gaelic.STV?

We’re not helping a homeless child off the streetI trust EtH and love what I've seen so far, but I can't help getting the feeling that the signing is out of pity (and Ajax connections) than that of necessity.
Offers? Plural?We’re not helping a homeless child off the street
We had to convince him to join us over other offers!
He still cannot land a 747 at the old Hong Kong airport. Once he's done that we will see him and Gordon Burns in no time.A lot of talk about what he might potentially bring, without much confirmation of where the feck this dude actually is…. I mean, where the feck is this dude? Have we sent him on a medical Krypton Factor or something? Does he have to emerge from the Amazon after a 2 week survival course to prove his fitness?
I reckon we’ve just forgotten about it. He agreed to sign and then we all just fecked off to try and sign Frenkie and the tiny CB and he’s just sitting in a room somewhere wondering why no one’s come to take his picture in a kit yetHe still cannot land a 747 at the old Hong Kong airport.

Just found out Burns is a United fan so your initial question may be a lot closer to the truth:I reckon we’ve just forgotten about it.

they’re just shoving him half a foot closer to a microwave every three minutes and seeing if he keels over. luckily it’s lunch time and shaw’s using it for a couple of hours to cook rustler’s burgers.Are the doctors counting his blood vessels and arteries?!
do you think his collapse and subsequent pacemaker is all a ruse for some good old fashioned charity fraud?I mean, we did that weird thing with Varane where no one knew whether he’d actually signed until he walked out on the pitch… maybe he’s seen we’re playing Brentford as our second game and decided to just chill out till then. Let the mountain come to him. He’s just Captain Toming the feck out of his garden in the mean time.
I can't help getting the feeling that Eriksen is only choosing to join us out of pity.I trust EtH and love what I've seen so far, but I can't help getting the feeling that the signing is out of pity (and Ajax connections) than that of necessity.

I know perfectly well what happened to him last year. That is why I said deal agreed PENDING a medical - and it could be tests and medical being as thorough as needed and taking as long as it takes. No one would expect anything different.Because the guy died on a football pitch not long ago so I would suggest a proper and thorough medical is needed, with a heart specialist on site, to put him through the tests. Most of, if not all our guys are out on tour, and he’s probably still on holiday. We might even be waiting for certain test results to come back before we even do a medical. Who knows, but it will be announced when it’s announced.
I’m not explicitly saying that. Im just saying if I did it, I’d probably do it exactly like that.do you think his collapse and subsequent pacemaker is all a ruse for some good old fashioned charity fraud?
He was wanted by Spurs too.Offers? Plural?
So, we had to convince him to join us over Brentford and the Job Center? Yeah. There's no pull like Manchester United pull.
You can Mockney all you like but these players will get us into that top 4 place this coming season. Much better class of players being brought in this season.I reckon we’ve just forgotten about it. He agreed to sign and then we all just fecked off to try and sign Frenkie and the tiny CB and he’s just sitting in a room somewhere wondering why no one’s come to take his picture in a kit yet
Pretty sure he played deeper at times for spurs as well and was really good at it. Think he can really shine in cm for us as well given the right environment.He’s at a different stage of his career. He’s played deeper for club and country in recent times and his skill set allows it
Probably that's what he/she meant by the Job Center. I know some/most, if not all view Spurs as irrelevant but dayum if that is not harsh!He was wanted by Spurs too.
Why would they announce it, only for him to then fail a medical and them then have to rescind the offer and make another announcement? Why can't you just fecking wait?I know perfectly well what happened to him last year. That is why I said deal agreed PENDING a medical - and it could be tests and medical being as thorough as needed and taking as long as it takes. No one would expect anything different.
The club could still announce it though.
Oh no, potentially two announcements required - however would the club cope?Why would they announce it, only for him to then fail a medical and them then have to rescind the offer and make another announcement? Why can't you just fecking wait?
I suspect that you are really good at the Rubik Cube.I still believe that Eriksen will only be signed if FDJ doesn’t come to United, and that’s what is holding up us signing/confirming Eriksen.
Ten Haag stated on the press conference that Donny was best utilized behind the strikers and by that we can assume that he will be a backup for Bruno.
Doesn’t make sense to sign Eriksen as a 10/attacking midfielder to be a backup for Bruno and to compete with Donny when our shortcomings are much more pressing in other roles or areas on the pitch.
It could however make sense to sign Eriksen as an advanced playmaker from a deeper position but then again that’s somewhat the exact same role as FDJ will play.
Eriksen in a more holding role makes little to now sense if you ask me (not that anyone has..).
That being said; a midfield of Martinez in the holding role, Eriksen as an advanced playmaker, and Bruno in the 10 role is something that I would be ok/happy with.
Why do you need the club to prematurely announce something? Are you losing sleep over it? Is in on your mind 24/7? Explain the levels of insecurity you feel within yourself in a way that normal people will understand.Oh no, potentially two announcements required - however would the club cope?
Also why can’t I have a fecking opinion that differs from yours? Ignore my fecking posts if you are that fecking bothered about my fecking impatience!
Am I doing this right, get all sweary when someone annoys me?
Sauce?Rumour on a YouTube video is that he’s failed the medical. But don’t quote it. Just putting it on here if it starts to circulate and happens to be true.
