That would help us a lot if true.

If he does, let's hope he gets through customs undetected!
Going forwards sure, but it has nothing to do with the big spaces he leaves defensively and his ball winning being less than Pogba's who was also questionable in that position with his tracking. On the ball I'm mainly a bit underwhelmed with him not helping us keep the ball and dominate it more than Pogba was. Thats where I was expecting the improvement, not just being available for selection more often. But he's given the ball away more than I was expecting, which coupled with that being something Bruno does means we don't keep the ball that well.
Woodward and that useless self anointed DoF- Matt Judge.
Ah I was joking thinking you had just named a bunch of things to do other than watching football. Fair play, I wouldn't be watching a shit Bayern game in that instance either
He’s not particularly press resistant based on what I’ve seen of him.
He doesn't have the quality on the ball that Eriksen does, but very few players do. He's still good on the ball, and what you gain with him are more legs. He's a pressing machine. Between him and Fred, he have a lot of energy to rotate in that midfield now. Excellent addition given the circumstances. He's a proper midfielder, which is much more than I expected at this late stage.
This seems like a really good signing. A very low cost option that fills a hole in our squad. The player seems to be just what we need.
These kinds of events are really entertaining. Don't happen often enough since the Fergie days.
I think he's positionally better than Pogba and while not as athletic he's more honest and that helps the defence. With Pogba, attacking players used the midfield expanse to build up momentum.
Ten Hag is a football obsessive like Pep/Klopp who knows exactly how he wants to play and is adept at identifying the players needed to play the way he wants.
I think the problem with Eriksen is that he's technically brilliant, but he lacks the defensive output and isn't a carrier of the ball either. Too often in these big matchups you can see we lack proper dribblers especially in midfield, where under pressure they are forced to all play longer passes as they can't drive past and break a counter press.
Cocks out
Bosnich
Australian, close
Against top teams, him, Fred and Casemiro to lock down that midfield.
I know it was a jokeAustralian, close
He's not Zidane but ffs he's a, massive upgrade on wbat we had and he's one of a few decent CMs we've had in a decade. You fussy cnuts.
What the hell?
I wonder that number he'll wear?
Nearly at Southend-on-Sea.
He’s nearly over Sar’fend. He’ll be here soon!
That’ll change his mind.

Yeah he has his flaws. Sometimes gets caught on the ball and his passing isn't close to the quality of Pogba (but whose is?)
But a much harder fighter than Pogba with a much bigger engine. Knows how to press and has a good shot on him. Decent set piece delivery too. Bit injury prone sadly.
Just wait until he lands!
You wouldn’t have known he was a free transfer would you?
Eriksen has been fantastic for us and anyone complaining about what he’s brought simply doesn’t understand football.
He's turning north. Thank god for that.
Pick any player you like, Pogba could stink up a bin filled with used nappies
Welcome to good old England Marcel. Do not watch English tv pundits!
If he turns left to London, call me, sending a rocket!!!
Presumably, given his work rate and pressing, we could potentially pair him with Fred should Cas need a rest/gets suspended/gets injured (god forbid)? Two high energy 8's can cover for the lack of a 6.
Sorry, I've just got PTSD from the time we had to replace Cas with McTominay away against the league leaders...shudder

I see him not tracking back just as often as Pogba, the only difference is now we have Casemiro to mop up and Lisandro to engage the attackers, rather than playing McTom, Fred or Matic as our DMs... And thats a substantial change in quality
He has entered English airspace
