If your wife divorces you, it was also a mutual agreement to marry where both benefited but I suppose it would be nice not to learn of it from the lawyer.

Christian Eriksen | Man Utd player
- Thread starter Damien
- 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?

He's currently our best midfielder.
His arrival is very positive for us, but can’t help feel like by the end of the window if we haven’t signed another midfielder it takes the shine off massively.
Could be some legal stuff that didn't allow him to tell Brentford before he actually signed for us and it was announced, stock price ect.
On the flip-side, all he needs to say is Brentford will always have a special place in his heart.
Agree to disagree
No idea, but I assume he could've told them he's not coming back without mentioning who he's signing for
He did say some nice words about Brentford didn't he? Fans are very precious and sensitive.
Just found it interesting that Eriksen was being talked about as an old player but our Lingard is a bit of a Peter Pan.
Brentford fans expect high so they are in massive disappointment that their high expectation is not fullfiled and start pointing blames without knowing what the detail of behind the scenes. They are punching above their ceilling height.
Well. Didn't take long for Brentford fans to fall from grace into one of those bitter fans. Blud you have it easy. We had to deal with Pogba for 6 years. Shut up and move on, don't be such pricks, he doesn't owe you anything.
Same here and I think Eriksen going has pretty much sealed their fate already. Their manager is a whiney cnut.
They weren't going down before he joined them
Only because there was four teams arguably worse than them.
And we only aren't champions because there were five better teams
Say what you want but I just don't think they're all that. Having Eriksen for six months added that bit of quality they didn't have, now he's gone it's going to be very difficult to replace.And we only aren't champions because there were five better teams
I guess he will play in similar roles to Pogba, 1 of the midfield 3 and even on the wing if required.
Because he said he would tell us his decision first if you say you are going to do that then keep to your word that’s all.
Unfortunately the info comes from the very top of our club so it’s not just hearsay. As I said above he had promised to let us know his decision first and didn’t which leaves a bit of a bad taste. No doubt £10m and £200k is best for him and his family and joining one of the biggest clubs in the world to boot - that’s not the issue here. It’s how he handled the communication of the move and didn’t keep his word. Had he told us upfront like he said he would there would be zero issue.
It's all very precious. He said that it would be unlikely.
Is he going to Australia?
Doesn't make sense right? When are the players back to Manchester
Final Aussie game v Villa on the 23rd so after that. I don't think we're going to do any training in Norway
He is the best attacking midfielder based on ETH's approach, not the best midfielder. Midfield is a wide area which consists of AM, CM and DM.
Hes the best midfielder
... In the world
Who's our best midfielder then?
Probably something in the talk of him not being vaxxed so can't get in
McFred?
It is what it is - he said he’d tell us and he didn’t. Some people take people at their word, obviously you don’t have a problem with people giving you their word and not keeping it and fair enough. Don’t see it as being that precious myself but also I don’t have a massive problem with what he did, I just lot a bit of respect for him.
I was assuming that everyone knew about him that's why I said 'not only 1'And then there was Peter Schmeichel, but he was also only here for about 10 years, and was here when we won the treble in 1999 ...
Splitting hairs really, isn't it? Saying it's unlikely is a pretty good indicator of what his final decision will be. The Brentford hierarchy must have also known they were at a disadvantage going head to head with Man Utd.
Thomas Frank has form for flying off the handle when it concerns Man Utd.
Ye, maybe he could have. Maybe he did call Thomas Frank and told him but as a private call between the two, who knows.
This is going to be terrific signing for us. He is such a classy player. Instantly makes everyone around him better.
Side note, where is the brentford fan on here who told me that they would get him over us? No disrespect to brentford but ManUtd is still ManUtd.

Perhaps it’s a realisation that he didn’t gave a shite about your club? Or perhaps it wasn’t as deep as fans would like to think. Abit like the United fans and Ronaldo as i always thought Ronaldo never had the same amount of affection as the fans have for him
His presence alone in the dressing room will be massive. This is the one aspect of the squad that really needed to be looked at. We need moe “leaders”. Maguire doesn’t count,
Why does Eriksen count as a leader?
Some see Erikssen as a back-up for Bruno. But I am not sure, who is the best of the 2 players. In any case, we finally have a player in the squad who can be dangerous on a free kick, just as he is also quite good at taking penalty kicks.
