Sorry I forgot there were pathetic hipster descriptions for midfielders now

he was a deep lying shuttling ball distributing possession retention number 6

I don't give a fuck if you use hipster terminology or proper football geezer terminology, he was never a DM.

Even in the CM2 system Redknapp used him in, he always had an actual DM, or much more defensive type midfielder next to him, like Palacios, Parker or Sandro who were the de facto DM's. He was always the more progressive of the two. And at RM he was used as a 10 initially by Mourinho, then an 8, with Kroos and then Casimero as the more defensive or holding players.
 
Or we get Bale out of it
Doubt it, Sammy. Hasn't been mentioned on any of the podcasts I listen to.
Do you think he will or have you read somewhere that he will?
According to Transfer Window Podcast, Inter want to sign him right away. But he has a meeting with Real's reps one of the days, and if they ask him to wait until the summer, he is more likely to choose Real. I'd be fucking ripping mad if that happened.

How highly does Eriksen think Real rate him if they didn't even want to pay a fee for him all these years and not even 20 million now?

"Si Christian, we believe you are so good that you will no doubt be a starter at Real, but we don't think you're good enough to actually pay for you. Also don't worry that Zidane doesn't really want you hombre."
 
But his idea was Madrid or Barca not Inter. He's not good enough for those two, so he has no where else to turn now.
Yeah I agree. But Italy & milian isn't bad for the new culture idea. & not like he is leaving us when we are on the verge of great things. Quite a good time to get out actually.

I guess he could rationalize it by thinking that if he has a blinder of a season at Inter then they might be interested in him again? If not he can cozy up in Milano for the rest of this career.

Yeah it's a win win for him. Seems like the best thing for everyone now. I still like him so wish him all the best.

I don't know, Stanley. Perez likes Eriksen a lot but Zidane is always banging a drum for Pogba. Perez doesn't want Pogba, but I cannot remember the reason for that. They often disagree over players. Maybe they have to clear the decks a little first? Modric will probably be leaving in the summer, for example. And maybe Zidane will no longer be manager by then?
