Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Eriksen was awful at the time Sammyspurs called him out.

Nobody sane would question Eriksen"s contribution for us in his earlier years.

And let's not think Eriksen today is anywhere near the player of 5 years ago. Not a patch.

WALOB.
Eriksen was one of our most important players right up to when he left.
He just starred in the title winning Inter Milan team.
 
"For a long time, we knew," Mourinho began. "We didn’t tell because of a moral agreement with him but from the first day I arrived, he told me he was not going to sign.

"For me, to try to have still a player without great motivations but still a player with a good sense of professionalism and respect for the club to give us what he could."

" Christian told me the decision was made and no way [did I try to persuade him]. From that moment, I was just trying to build the team without him.

"That was the reason why I didn’t play him many, many times. At the same time, Christian being a good professional and having respect for the club and his teammates I knew that with some limitations – there are always limitations with a player in his situation – that until his last day he tried to help the team and be a positive guy in the dressing room, which he was."

"Christian would always give us some of his talent until the end of the season," he added. "He is a good professional, respect to the club, respect to the dressing room, if he stayed here I think he would always give us something."
