one more saga to get drawn in this window, splendid
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?

Yes but that describes all transfers.
That too
Spurs need funds for transfers as they are tied into repaying their stadium off. Getting £60 million to spend this summer on new signings is better than the £0 next summer when he leaves on a free and have no money to replace him. Could happen but very last minute that's for sure.
Last year of contract. How come other top clubs didn't want him this summer? 50 mil would be enough i guess.
He is better than both combined. He's literally the perfect signing. A metronome passer, with creativity, vision and graft. I may be a long time admirer and fan.
But Levy
This reminds me of last summer where we went after every imaginable centre back. Just strikes of poor planning
If we would get him I’d be over the moon. Really really great player.
I really genuinely hate transfer windows and stupid saga's like this one.
Or it's being an opportunist. Instead of over paying at the start of the window, wait until the last week when teams have to sell if they want to buy and pick up the players we really wanted all along.
Levy and Woodward. Two magnets turned in the opposite direction trying to come together.
"60m"
"We want 100m"
"How about 40m?"
"60m"
"We want 100m"
"How about 40m?"
I imagine there will be a few more stupid ones like this over the next few days.Honestly I think if it was in or around £80M levy would accept, then you would have to talk to Eriksen.
Exactly this. No United fan can feel we'll get this over the line 100%, however, Levy will want something for him.
I don't have any expectations from the summer. If we sign someone it's a big add on.
Prem proven ... maybe not as technically gifted as Dybala but a good bet over either player to be fair.
One thing though .... THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
73000
Ah crap. We're on to Eriksen now. A lost cause. Nooo-ooooo!
Not happening with Levy, not a chance. Be a short term signing and not worth the money it would take.
£60m for Eriksen? I'd pay £70m. The guy is insanely good compared to anyone we have in that role. I don't see this happening but if it does I'll be delighted.
Time is running out if he actually wants to win things in his football career rather than finishing third in two-horse races. If he has any ambition he will come here.
YES! Shut up and take my money!
why don't we sign Kane while we're at it too
Haha and no apologies are needed!
I would love there to be some truth in this, I just never imagined this was an option as his dream is Real (like many) but if we can get him we must go all in even if 70m.
Such a good player, wish we bought him from Ajax.
Anyway fingers crossed as a midfield of Pogba and Eriksen looks fantastic.
We surely can't end the window with no midfield or forward additions.
Quite a fan of that Son chap too, throw him in the deal.
By next week we might have considered to prepare a bid. Possibly.
In what universe would it be a short term signing? The guy's 27 and better than all of our midfielders bar Pogba. Would be a huge signing and one we desperately need in midfield.
How do you know we've not been planning this for a while but instead been waiting for Spurs to agree for a replacement?
Eriksen's deadball delivery to Slabhead
Cause of our pursuit of Dybala?
Not really. Sometimes possibilities like Mandzukic or Dybala can come up late in a window. This is far more challenging considering it's Levy and a direct rival who would only have a couple of days to find a replacement.
A lot of work goes under the radar.
I kind of get the feeling with Eriksen that his star is already starting to fade. I've never rated him with the top players in the league, like when he used to get compared to David Silva. I didn't think he looked that great last season.
Don't wanna even get my hopes up. Great player and would push us on another level and make us a top 4 side easy..... Not going to happen
We first have to wait for Ed to discuss it with all our commercial partners to see if his face is marketable on instant noodle pots in Asia.
Worth it for the corners and free kicks onto Maguires head.
That's probably 6 goals secured.
That's probably 6 goals secured.
I rate him, he won't offer the flair or goals Dybala would in the #10 role but he's very creative and is streets ahead of the options we have at #10, however I think there's more chance of the Dybala/Lukaku swap happening at the 11th hour than Levy selling to us.
Very valid points, just think Levy would rather die before selling us Eriksen
! Remember how agonising it was getting Berbatov over the line?If we are led to believe that has been written in the media, we would have taken Dybala and a player like Eriksen. So maybe the two deals would not be connected.
But any how, Eriksen may have not got his move to Barca or Real, and we may have not got our targets...so both may work hand in hand late on.
