Well yeah but I think it would be justified to hand out a bit of a longer contract to someone like Eriksen after the season he had and considering other clubs are in for him too. Not sure this offer would please him too much but let's see. I have a feeling he might prefer staying in London anyway.

He didn't fail at Inter. Conte said the game was more tactical in Italy compared to England and Eriksen had to become better at that. Eriksen got the hang of it and was a key player the second half of the season. If Conte didn't think highly of him why would he want him at Tottenham then.?
This isn’t input data; press macro = formulate contract length.
He should be offered a fixed 3 year contract or atleast a 2+1. At his age that’s financial security for him and for us it indicates our willingness to have him on board.
I understand your original point but there is logic and then theirs stupidity. For instance Cavani’s contract was logical.
I'm surprised he doesn't just stay at Brentford to be honest.
They gave him the opportunity to stay etc. Bigger life picture after his issues.
Financial Security? I don't think that's a relevant situation at premier league level!
In league 1 maybe.
Also we don't know if there's truth to all this talk too.
Probably journos making things up.
It'll be interesting where Eriksen would fit in for Tottenham as well. They have Kane-Kulu-Son, just bought in Perisic, and have a few other odds and sods.
I can't see many clubs offering him a multiyear contract. Being interesting to see what Spurs have offered.
Of course it matters, he will be retiring soon and will never earn this kind of money again. If he gets an injury or something else happens with his health on a 1 year deal he will regret not signing a longer one.
Bloody hell we can't even bag a 30 year old Erikson
Hope we don’t get him on account of the frustration I get with all the hellish misspellings of his name.
It’s not fecking Kuszczak or Błaszczykowski….

Erikson is great but we should be focusing on replacing McGuire instead. Although the Glaziers probably like the fact that it’s a free signing.
We don't know that for sure yet. Mixed messages today. Him choosing us would give everyone a lift after a poor start to the window.
Another one bites the dust. Murtough looking just as useless as Woodward. Why oh why could we have not got an experienced director of football like spurs have who would have got things done at a world class level.
Eriksen.... It's Eriksen 
Didn't we just give bruno a huge pay rise after an absolutely awful season from him?
Nothings changed really.
Would have been a nice mata/lingard replacement.
But I think he knows if he comes here, he won't play as much.
spurs would be the sentimental move but why go back if you forced a move away literally a few years ago. If I were him, I'd stay in brentford where I can play every week.

Ornstein and Mullock think we are close but Spurs journalist think Spurs have better chance due to his preference to stay in london. Dont think we are out of the race yet

How good would you say he is at central midfielder at his age?
Chasing somebody who doesn’t want to be here? I’m getting di Maria vibes
Not tall enough
Do you see Tierney as a bad footballer then because he doesn't play as a LB for Scotland?
A lot of times players play in a different positions for their national team as opposed to at club level. John Obi Mikel another example.
Could definitely happen to be fair. Be weird if he went back to Spurs. Remember him moping about in that Amazon documentary looking like he’d rather be anywhere else and constantly meeting with his agent to get him out of there? Then from what I hear the stint with Conte at Inter wasn’t great.
Eriksoff.
Why are people upset we're offering a player who's 30 with a medical issue a 1+1 contract? Seems prudent to me. If other teams are offering him a 3yr deal then good luck to them.
Finished 90 minutes twice the whole of his final season in the Serie A at Inter. Started 17 times. Excuse me for thinking that doesn’t quite mean “key player”.
Protect the value for the finance sheet innit.
Bad example, he played as an AM for country because he was considered the most talented midfielder.
So he played a different position. Tierney also played a different position because Robertson is better. Doesn't detract from the qualities of Tierney.
At least we'd make the fee back in shirt sales though.
Once the New York exchange has opened.
One plus point in not signing him is not having to cope with the cafe struggling to spell his name all season.
Most have just about dealt with Maguire by now.

It sounds like ten Hag wants him as regular player. On the other hand, Eriksen didn’t work out well when playing under Conte system at Inter. It’s weird one if he chooses to play under Conte again.
so why didn’t Ajax sign him at the time?
He wants to play in a better league?
May be eredivise has the same rule as Serie A, which prohibiting the use of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device he has had implanted. Or they can’t meet Eriksen’s demand of wages.
Well Daley Blind in the Ajax team has an ICD so we know for a fact that Dutch laws aren’t the same as Italian. They can definitely afford the wages too, so again, why didn’t they make any attempt at signing him?
Is there any rules relating to ICD’s for UEFA competitions?
He wanted to go back to England after leaving Inter
Anyone think eriksen will choose us? Keep seeing that he wants to stay in London but aren’t spurs the only London team interested in him? And he weren’t exactly at his best for inter under conte.
