I'm kidding, 3 years doesnt mean a new Jones, Rojo or Darmian situation.
Nice. Great player and a much needed deadball specialist.
As an Ajax fan i love this midfield. Frenky, Eriksen, Fernandez. Frenky can even play from defence in a 532. The signing of Eriksen gives Man Utd a lot of options in style of play and passing. And Eriksen and Frenky and Donny all know how to quick pass and move through the lines.

Good news
This is where I am at with it as well. From a football point of view it would have been mad from him to join Brentford over us, despite our recent car crash season.
He will add so much quality and is free. Delighted we have landed him.
He played much deeper for Brentford than Bruno currently does for us. I don't think Eriksen is a number ten.
If we sign the other CM, would Eriksen be a starter in a midfield 3 with the likes of Fred or McT?
Interested to know how Erik will utilise his son?

Good signing and some more it is free. This will surely push Bruno to maintain the consistency and high level performance.
Happy with this. I don't think he's the answer to any particular problem in the squad but he's a good player and by all accounts a good character.
No issue with the player or signing provided he fits into a clear structure we have in mind, whatever that is.
In other words what I don't want to see is two of Bruno, Eriksen and VDB on the bench every week while other positions barely have a single decent option.

I don't get it
Christian's right, London's shite! Christian's right, London's shite...
Money or some little team called Brentford.
Quality Signing
What a nothingBurger of a player he was, toxic twitter presense
Why not?
FdJ
Eriksen VDB
Bruno
Antony - Ronaldo - Sancho
Edit: shows stupidly on the phone.Antony - Ronaldo - Sancho
But you get it, a square of FDJ, VDB, Eriksen and Bruno.
Take the fecking ball from them if you can.

I think just having players who are comfortable on the ball throughout the squad is just a massive improvement to what we have currently. He clearly fits ETH's profile of player which is the most important part.
He played with Liverpool
Can he work with FDJ in a midfield 2?
Add de Jong and we’ll finally have a midfield that is capable of controlling a game. McFred will finally be done with.
By adding Eriksen I also believe that Bruno will play a more advanced role out wide in a front 3 or as a false 9.

Keen to see what the plan is. If he's another back up player with gapping holes in the team then we won't improve much.

Welcome to United Christian! Good to add some extra creativity. Interesting to see where he fits in the squad. I still have a sneaking suspicion ETH sees him as the cm to play alongside FDJ despite many being understandably sceptical about how defensively solid that midfield would be. Regardless of his role, the extra quality he'll bring is welcome
All but #24 are taken so my money would be on that. #21 is for De Jong
3-3-4 formation?
I mean, yeah, good signing and all. I like the player. He will do a job for a couple of seasons
I'm just finding it really hard to get excited, as I watch the teams in and around us in the league strengthening, and we're signing 30 year old's on a free. In fact, it makes me angry - when it really shouldn't. I also feel the same about Malacia, for what it's worth.

Proper fraud journalist, that guy
Frenkie playing center back?
Love this reply
I get irrationally angry at people who are apparently too dumb to use upper case for their last name. Cnut.
Just say you are clueless and move on.
You would be playing with 12 players.
My bet is that he will play as false 9 to replace Ronaldo.
Hear hear. I meant he doesn't 'solve' a specific problem position for us but as you suggest he does improve the squad by being a proper technical player, something we've shamefully lacked for years.
Intelligent footballer on a free is a no brainer.
