Excellent. Support the signing100%. Don’t expect him to be a very dominant player for us, but hope he can make a difference from time to time.
Christian Eriksen | Man Utd player
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
So let’s be honest, none of us know what the plan is for Eriksen, Bruno, and Donny.
Donny gotta be the weakest link. Poor guy, should hand in a transfer request.

Interesting he got number 8.
No doubt Eriksen was impressive but didn’t Bernardo spend most of the season playing deep alongside Rodri?
Big day today.
Eriksens first real test.
Here we go!
Unzips…

Good signing to add a little depth in the squad, I don't think he can be a starter every game or a super star but a good transfer nonetheless.
Whilst he isn't here to replace Bruno, to state a stat as being poor without any context really irritates me!
What percentage of those passes were forward? Over ten yards? Were through balls etc.
Context is key when stats are concerned. Eriksen got 4 assists and one goal in 11 appearances for Brentford, that's pretty good going.
Playing that difficult pass is often how these players like Eriksen and Bruno get so many assists, whilst also being the reason their passing stats sometimes aren't great,
they speculate to accumulate.
Oh right it was his twitter account number then I saw on bbc.
Delighted. Great player. Hope he can maintain and improve under ETH.
Welcome Christian.
Welcome Christian.
Yes he did, he's not really focused on assists.
What does "one of" mean to you?
Excellent. Always been a fan since he was at Ajax.
So you’re signing an anti-vax snake and someone who doesn’t want to leave their club? Lolzy

Those stats count set pieces, he completed 81% of his passes without those.
Who's that a reference to?
Said at the start of the links to us I couldn't see the point of it but with the way the window has gone and with the current set up of players we actually need more quality players like Eriksen in. I hope he gets to play a lot because he's a very technically gifted player, something we're really short of.
Agree. Showed last season at Brentford what a very good player he is which is something I don’t think many people anticipated after what happened at the Euros. Good signing by the club.
A comeback of epic proportions. He deserves a shot at another big club and I think he’s still got the juice to make a difference
In Norway apparently.
Thanks, martinez and eriksen should link up with the squad soon then but I’ve been reading that there not going to Australia as they’ll only be there for a few days even though both the palace and villa game are in Australia. Wonder if they both train at carrington then and link up before the atletico game.
He's already the best midfielder we have until Frenkie (hopefully) gets here. I don't get why some think he's coming to sit on the bench? He played as a no.8 for Brentford last season so he's not strictly a CAM anymore.
Smalling? Kante? Djokovic?
The perfect Mata replacement
Finally, someone that can take a decent corner too! We might not have to wait over 100 games to score from one!
A very good Upgrade/replacement for Juan Mata!!!
So is he coming in to rotate with Bruno or maybe challenge for his place. He's arguably the better player.
He will play deeper than Bruno.
Nah he'll play behind Bruno and replace McTominay
Think he’ll play plenty of games as an 8 for us. Along with Bruno as a 10. They both have great work rates. In the toughest games, I think probably only one will play, but I’m fairly sure he’s been signed to play deeper, with our emphasis on keeping the ball and using it well. He presses really well, not the best tackler but I don’t think that matters if you are trying to win the ball back high up the pitch and then release it quickly into dangerous areas.
Really excellent signing. We’ve now brought in Malacia and Eriksen, for a combined net spend of about 4m, accounting for sales. Wage bill is also massively down, and I think the squad is better already than last year. Pogba has been replaced with a player much better suited to our play, and on what? Half the wages. We still need a Matic replacement, but Cavani, Lingard and Mata won’t be missed.
If we can bring in Martinez and De Jong, our squad will look a whole lot better than last year. We need a forward, undoubtedly, because we lack depth there. But I’m very happy with how our window is progressing so far.

Ronaldo should benefit just like how Toney did last year.
And it makes it easier if we miss out on FdJ
I'd like that. Although I don't think McTominay is awful and he's a useful squad player, Eriksen is obviously on a different level.
Did he play in that position for Brentford then? Can't say I paid too much attention to them last season.
FDJ is at the end stages, it’s happening.
But but but Brentford.
All i can say is poor Donny. It’s even harder for him now to get a game
Welcome Eriksen though!

Will he play a RW/RAM as the old day at Spurs?
Yeah like it was the case in the last 2 weeks….
