He had the chance in the Summer and rejected us.
He can feck off now.

Christian Eriksen | Signs for Inter

Biggest stumbling block will be contract. He'll be after a 5-5.5 year deal which as shown by Sanchez is an awfully high risk to take.
He isn't that great. Good for us but I genuinely don't think he is all that. Stats may show different things but he seems like a different fit of player to the type of thing we need long term.
I like Eriksen but feel that if there is any truth in it being a straight choice between signing him in January or wait for Maddison/Grealish in the summer then maybe we would be better off to wait until then

Would be a good signing but not for 40m in January.
Can't deny Spurs are fantastic at business and their players young/dumb for tying their best years down with low pay.

I think those days are long gone now.
They are now on the cusp of losing their best midfielder and their starting centreback duo in one season, for zero in return.
They also failed to properly replace the fullbacks who left in the summer.
I guess with mourinho in charge, levy has no choice now but to open the chequebook. Whether or not they have the funds to placate jose is another matter.
Wanted him in the summer but not now anymore. But if he’s available on a free next year, lots of clubs including us would obviously be tempted
Toby re-signed, so that's something.
Don't think he's good enough to be honest. Need to forget about him and look elsewhere.
Think we should stay far. Need young hungry footballers.
Eriksen is definitely not the right profile of players that Ole is looking for...one key element is the age as he mentioned this numerous times
This is a little different from the Sanchez transfer in that we don't have any good players of his ilk and he wouldn't be blocking anyone's way like Alexis did with Rashford and Martial.
We need some experience and Eriksen doesn't rely on pace. He's a game changer and although he's far from my first choice, I wouldn't be against it.

I’d take him just for his set-piece ability!
He's another Mata waiting to happen.
For 40M they should snap him in a heartbeat. If they knock a mil or two off they can take Lingard.
Spurs fans say he hits the first man on corners 9 times out of 10.
Wouldnt go anywhere near him. Whats the point? Better and younger players out there if you look at the past 18 months
I agree with this. This would be similar to Mata transfer.
Would only want him if it didn't affect signing a Grealish in the summer,however it looks to me that there is no chance that we sign both of them.
Just two days ago I didn't want Eriksen at CAM since that his favourite position but I wonder - considering how badly we need a RCM is there any chance he could play RCM for us?
Would he be interested in that? Pogba, Eriksen & Fred in a midfield 3 does add something we have lacked for nearly a decade now even if it has its obvious flaws - it's still better than anything we can put out now isn't it?
With all the previous talks about going for mandzukic, I'd much prefer we go for Eriksen if & only if he is willing to play in midfield.

Eriksen is a great player. His talent is such that he should be playing for a top club, fighting for honours. Would be pointless coming to us now. We need to find players of his ilk when he came to Spurs. That is the Eriksen we need.
According to Sunday Telegraph as quoted in BBC gossip
https://www.bbc.com/sport/50934716
United are prepared to wait till Summer so they can get Eriksen on a Free.
Imo if there is some truth in all this, we maybe trying to force Spurs hand to lower the January transfer price.
Or
We re using this when negotiating with another club/player
We have to wait and see

Seriously I hope we go no where near him
I'm not saying he's past it or anything but United doesn't seem to be the right club (these days) for players to go to and try and rediscover their best form.

I get the impression that he isn't our top target in that position and we will only look at bringing him in on a free if we aren't able to bring in either Grealish or Maddison in the summer, would be nice to see some targets from outside of the UK & premier league but think that is unlikely without a proper DOF in charge of recruitment.
Eriksen had his chance to join us previously and chose not too. Hasn’t been in the best of form for some time now and I think we would be better served looking elsewhere.
I’d be upset if we brought him and played him as a 10. He’s a 6 now and that’s the type of player we need and where we should play him.
He doesn’t play as a number 10. Why would he affect them players?
I hope we don't. There must be someone younger and hungrier who fit the profile better than Eriksen.
Swap him for Lingard
His head isn’t in it for a team that should be better than us, can’t see him fighting for us when we’re struggling.
Don’t want any of these weak mentality Spurs players.

Really good player, not one we should sign though.
We won't sign a better player.
If it’s for free, why not?
We can spend the money elsewhere for two good midfielders

Terrified we’ll sign him and prove we’ve learnt absolutely nothing, and this cultural reboot talk is proven to be utter shite.
The similarities to this and the Sanchez deal are obvious. A hungry and motivated Eriksen in that no. 10 position, pulling the strings is an enticing prospect if he's back to his best, but that's the big if.
Grealish's name is mentioned a lot here, and he's an interesting one. He's captain of Villa, and I like how he's influential all over the pitch. Didn't really rate him before this season, but to me I feel he's actually better than Maddison but obviously plays in a poorer team. He's a really good option for us, and hopefully coming into an age now where he can take his game to the next level with better players around him.

Do not want. It just feels like it’ll be Alexis Sanchez all over again - a player that looks to have lost all his hunger and only here for the money.
Rather go for someone like Jack Grealish for that number 10 position.

He's 27 and just got man of the match...
It won't necessarily prove anything. Because United decided to go for younger players doesn't mean we won't ever sign more the more experienced players again.
How is he only 27? Seems like he's been around for decades and should at least be in his mid-30s
I think he'd be a success here. Experienced head amongst the youth, and think of how many more goals we'd get via Slabhead with him on set pieces.
At the moment our set pieces are wasted with Rashy trying to gigacunt them in from any distance.
I can't see him coming here, and he'll probably be the latest to join Juventus' menagerie of free transfer midfielders, but without Pogba we struggle to carve open certain sides, which Eriksen can do. From just a couple of games ago:
Getting an Eriksen in along with another forward who can run onto his balls would transform our attack.
He's showing more this season in limited appearances for Spurs than Sanchez did for Arsenal before he came to us.
