Levy is probably scrolling through this thread right now spitting out his pop corn and saying 'over my dead body'
Christian Eriksen | Signs for Inter

No wonder Poch is pissed off.
I'll be gutted to see Eriksen in a United shirt (Im still not sure that I will), I never seen anyone say Sanchez was at Toby's level and I still think Walker is an average footballer boosted massively by his athleticism.
Eriksen's work rate and pressing is astounding for a player in his position, his vision is second to none IMO, his link play between defence and attack and his creativity we will miss massively. but of course he has negatives, a few I have said for a while. He doesn't like a tackle and will occasionally simply not bother, his consistency at times is a problem and if truth be told his dead ball delivery isnt as good as it is made out to be. All that said I wish we could get him to stay, if I had a choice I would prefer him over Dybala.
Dybala's already at a big club
Haha
No chance Levy will sell one of his best players to a rival 3 days before the window shuts. European window is still open another 3 weeks
If need be, Daniel. If need be.
I like it
Spurs now have a new stadium, which will generate massive revenue and ultimately is going to provide a huge financial boost. This lessens the need to sell players even further, if Levy doesn't want them to go.
Additionally, unless another player were genuinely already lined up to sign, losing Eriksen for any amount of money now would ultimately cost Spurs money because it would decrease their performance on the pitch and the prize money etc resulting from that. There's no reason to sell him now for any price.
I cannot see how this deal would happen.
I doubt you will be seeing him in ManUtd shirt. With just 2 days to go this deal is near impossible, especially between PL clubs.
Agree but, we know Levy loves money. He would hate to see him walk away for free. It's a very difficult deal to pull off at this stage of the window, but would love to see this happen.
He'd be our signing of the summer.
If there's a chance, this is one time when I think the premium has to be paid without complaint.

Seems like a good fit for us at the moment then. For Eriksen, probably not getting the move to Spain that he wanted but he's settled in PL, would get massive pay rise to join us and will get the chance to win trophies (going off even recent past record).
Hopefully we can get this over the line. Really do believe it suits all parties.

IMO this is more unlikely than Dybala.
Muppetry of the highest order!

I’ve been out of the game a while, does this have any chance of actually happening?
Well no, the TV rights are what's stopping clubs like Spurs or Wolves from having to sell their big names for big money. Spurs are also in the Champions League so there's not a desire to leave unless Madrid or Barcelona come knocking. Spurs don't pay the wages they should though for a CL team which is why they will ultimately lose players that aren't Harry Kane.
Eriksen has 1 year left, Spurs have been seeking a replacement (Lo Celso, Fernandes) so it seems likely.
Probably about as much as Dybala?
The only reason there's a shred of possibility is because Levy would prefer 50-70m over nothing next summer.
I expect him sold just not to us.

Great so another young player for us!
I think so too, Levy wouldn't want to weaken his own team while directly strengthening a rival. The optimist in me hopes he's set a ludicrous price to put us off and we've immediately agreed to pay it. I won't be following this one too closely though.
Woodward saving face exercise. "We tried but Tottenham / Dybala wanted too much money."
and putting the price up by £10m every time Woodward offers £5.50 plus a one-year subscription to the Evening Standard
He'd have no option if no one else is interested. Maybe Bayern could come in at some point? Madrid seem to want Pogba, Juve won't buy him till he's available for free, Barca don't space for him and I don't think PSG want him either.
we've got one of those "not bothered" already thanks: it's name is pogba
They would be strengthening themselves too when they sign Bruno/Colso as a replacement. They rather do that than let Eriksen go on a free.
To go after Eriksen and not a younger Bruno would be peak United.
bruno seems to have made it clear where he wants to be
You don’t want Eriksen on corners, because he is a master at hitting the first man.
we've got lots of those so he'd fit right in - in fact, we've had a monopoly on them since the day beckham leftYou don’t want Eriksen on corners, because he is a master at hitting the first man.
Yeah well that's for the idiots amongst us to believe.
If he doesn't get Ole a midfielder in, then he deserves all the criticism he will get.
He's going to fit right inYou don’t want Eriksen on corners, because he is a master at hitting the first man.
Yes, the Premier League. And we've had plenty time to get it done.
Eriksen is 27. It’s hardly Sanchez again. We have a very young forward line. Maybe a bit of experience would help.
Solskjaer is apparently close with the Denmark manager so this would be consistent with the stories of the club profiling all potential signings extensively. Still don't see Tottenham selling us a thing.
They'll probably ask for Martial in the deal knowing Levy 
Bruno is 24 and Eriksen is 27.
I would go after Eriksen first. But if we can’t get him then get the players Spurs were thinking of replacing him with like Bruno and Lo Celso.
To sign a guy with 1 good season in a shit league for a ridiculous fee instead of one of the Prem's best midfielders who is already settled and proven would be peak United
Hearing anything on the spurs side on this story? Usually I’d say this is a no go based on Levy but his contractual situation seems to give this a chance. Sure I’ve read as well Woodward and Levy get on quite well so can’t see us making an enquiry without those two having discussed it.
