I really don't think he will be the player he was ,not even the worse version, just before he left us.
If we were going to go for a player who use to play for us i would have gone for Trippier.

only one with age on his side is szosboszlai
Trippier wasn't a free agent though and has already moved. Just want someone that can hit a decent free kick and corner tbh.
Has a profile that looks like he's wanted for mugging a granny.

deadleyledley is a big fan
I think for what he cost the Geordies, it was worth a punt .I was always a fan though, and think we shouldn't have sold him.
He had a poor season, yes, but i feel he would have regained his past form.
Then why would you want Eriksen?
Oh no, I'm a massive fan of Trippier, the shit he got in his last season was obscene. The work he had to do in Poch's system was overlooked and he was scapegoated to fuck IMO.
Had the last laugh on a few of the fans who seemed to actively despise him (even after he left) with a La Liga medal.
Still think he is better than all our options on the right side.
Absence make the heart grows fonder. His corners made me go grey. First man every time.
We should sign this guy.Charles De Ketelaere - Wikipedia

That’s the US national team kit from a few years ago.
Tripper hit good corners, Eriksen had a worse delivery from them...but he could take free kicks better than all our current squad.
I was talking specifically about his corners, no argument about his free kicks being superior to the rest of our squad.
Did he score at all in his last two years? I remember being just as frustrated with him as Kane toward the end. His corners were (eventually) beyond belief. Can't imagine his FKs were much better.
EDIT: Ah, I saw your qualification above.
Not that big of a fan tbh
For me he's still a rough diamond. He reminds me a bit of the Muller/Dele type, a jack of all trades but a master at none who can be used in a number of attacking ways. I was surprised he was able to keep his place since he made a spectacular debut for Club Brugge, so kudos to him. The club has now lost their very successful coach, so it remains to be seen whether he was only able to flourish because of the system he grew in, or if he can keep on shinning with a new manager/new tactics.
In my opinion I estimate his level at the same as Leandro Trossard, who made the jump from the Belgian league to Brighton a couple of years ago. Now that guy is in their starting line up. Whether that's spectacular enough for us to consider that caliber of player remains to be seen.
Time will tell
Always very hard to judge kids and especially trying to make judgements on whether they can make the leap from his league to PL etc..
All I know is that every single time I've seen him (8/9/10 times now) he's been the best player on the park and in half of those games he's been outrageous! Only once was he a bit of a no show (it was a CL game but can't recall against who).
There are a lot of people talking about him now and if I recall Brugge, rightly IMO, signed him up to a new deal to maximize his value.
I think you're spot on with his comparisons with Dele, he's been superb when playing a 2nd striker type role, not a pure 10 but a player who's close to striker, often beyond the striker and also makes some well-timed late runs. Another player similar is Conor Gallagher, I think I'd say that "King Charles" is technically better on the ball (maybe that's because of the League???).
He absolutely won't be a £5m punt though, that ship sailed when he signed his new deal, so it will absolutely be a gamble for any PL Club coming in for him. I defiantly would look to sign him though, at the very least he'll have massive resale value if he is loaned out at the right Club if he fails to find a way into a Tottenham team.
He won't get in past Kane and Vlahovic.....
