Can Dybala, Eriksen and Pogba play in the same team, without tripping all over each other?
Christian Eriksen | Signs for Inter

Eriksen is coming. 100%. Ole the Great!
He plays with Alli at Spurs and it works well - Pogba is basically an upgrade on Alli as they play similar roles for their respective teams - and never with a top level CDM behind them (Wanyama a pure destroyer, Winks who is by no means a CDM, or Dier). I could easily see it working with Eriksen ahead of Pogba and a more defense-minded CM.
Seems like Daniel Harris was bang on again.
And what about when Bruno joins them in attack?
A lad I learned to despise. For his smug little head. For what he had done to my favourite sides, ie MUFC and Ireland. Now you expect me to... welcome him? Cheer him on? Well... Ok.
What else has he said and what did he claim?
So the logic would be that Tottenham will use this opportunity to get a relatively substantial sum of money in for him as they look to bring in Lo Celso + Coutinho loan?
From Eriksen’s standpoint he’s probably thinking it’s the last big contract of his career, why not join the biggest club in the world where he will also get a better contract than literally anywhere else on Earth.

A little whisper from our side that Barca have enquired, hence the Coutinho link.
You could play Eriksen ahead of Pogba and Eriksen in the No.10 role or on the right side of that attacking mid trio. Could also play McTominay and a ball winning midfielder deeper, bring Pogba up to 10 and have Eriksen on the right.
In a 4231 Eriksen can play the #10 or he can play RW and drift. In certain games last season he also played deeper in midfield to help Spurs dictate the game.
Fixed for you
I hope Denmark won’t play Ireland in the next 10 years. I want every United to be happy. What a window
Don't see how coutinho fits into your wage structure. Even in a loan scenario.
Never really worked tbh, his skills are wasted deep. If you get him play him at 10.
It's time lads. As they say in Denmark... pikkene ud
Time to look at the ITK reddit thread...
EDIT: Holy feck, seeeerious muppetry on the Interweb!

Also need space for Sanchez once he relocates his beanz.
I would tend to agree, just passing it on.
Woo-hoo. Can't wait for this to happen. Hopefully can challenge for top 4 now. Hope Pogba and Eriksen can gel together ASAP. Hope has not not been given up, yet.
I planned to watch Endgame tonight but I don't think I can drag myself away from this thread 
I live in Barcelona and he's a player they've chased for a long long time.
Certainly a strong possibility, although they are absolutely skint at the moment and even had to get a 6 month loan of €30m last month to pay wages/ Griezmann release.
If Rakitic stays, can't see Eriksen going there.
Was he wasted there because you lacked creativity further up the pitch or because he wasn't capable of playing deeper? I'm sure there was one game I watched he played deeper and he looked very comfortable in that postion.
haner ud
He said days ago that United were making a £50M bid for Eriksen. Was early (maybe even the first) to report on Daniel James and he linked us to Dybala before Di Marzio.
Just speculating myself as well. Doesn't seem in keeping with the successful strategy that has got you to this position in the last few years.
In my opinion could be the very undoing of Spurs if you break that disciplined structure.
The right play is to offload Erikson to us and replace with the younger options on similar wages.
There’s always a last minute story about something that’s never going to happen.
Looking forward to seeing this years "sword handle" formation in action:
De Gea
AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw
Pogba
Bruno
Eriksen
Dybala
Rashford Martial
Romero, Tuanzebe, McTominay, Lingard, Mata, Gomez, Sanchez

Hahahaha. I'm constantly checking the transfer tweet section. Good thing it’s 2PM here so can follow along quite rigorouslyI planned to watch Endgame tonight but I don't think I can drag myself away from this thread

It doesn’t work cause he presses really well yes but tackles like bambi. We have Kane and Son who both can create. It’s his ball in the final 3rd that makes Eriksen the player he is. He has always had an ability to at times disappear, especially when playing deeper.
I like this formation. I think you should be a first team coach.
No, that means 'roosters out'.
Any reliable source or just media nonsense?
Reliable sources.

Ole’s winning machine.
1. Defensive unit - fixed.
2. Pogba Dilemma - fixed.
3. Midfield creativity - fixed.
4. hard working flanks - fixed.
5. A striker with composure and technique - fixed.
All for net 140 million. Ole is a genius.

You say that now, but you'll be on here giving out with the rest of them after I've strung half our first team squad up by their bootlaces from the Sir Bobby Stand.
Could do, although it would work better with two other midfielders in there as well, as Spurs generally do when Eriksen and Alli play together.
man I'd take Eriksen at United in a heartbeat. Just doubt Levy will agree to that.
You just know Spurs will end up keeping a Eriksen and signing Coutinho
That will be sad
