Has it gone court? Or is it at accusation stage?
Post rape, pre conviction
Thing is we have some players at the club already like Alfie, Harvey even Rodon but conte is loathe to give anyone else apart from his faves a go. Whose to say Harvey couldn’t have done a worse job than winks when he came in v Brighton. Conte doesn’t sometimes like to give younger players a go.I really think it’s stupid to get bale and Eriksen again, it’s purely emotional. Would Liverpool be better off bringing suarez back when they signed diogo jota?Or instead of getting luis Diaz this January getting Coutinho back because nobody wants him?
We need young players. Guys who want to prove a point.

Send it through to Levy and Paratici so we get it done nice and earlyIs it too early to do one of my deluded transfer wish lists? Probably.
LCB:
+Bastoni (50M)
-Sanchez (20M)
RWB:
+Pedro Porro (25M)
+Singo (15M)
-Emerson (15M)
LWB:
+Angelino (40M)
-Reguilon (25M)
CM:
+Bissouma (40M)
+Eriksen (Free)
-Winks (10M)
100M net spend which is definitely realistic as long as we get CL (net spend in previous 2 seasons has been very similar despite no CL).
I'm sure the purchase options of Romero, Bentancur, Kulu have already been factored in, and can be partly offset by selling Lo Celso.
Recall Gil to be back up LW, and don't bother with a reserve CF. If Kane injured, play 3-5-2 with Eriksen CAM, Bergwijn and Son up front.
I get you. But Eriksen left on a bad note. I don’t think he should come back. But I’m not against old players in general. If they are good they are good. 18 or 34And if the gaffa says he wants a few more mature, proven players with high-level experience?
Conte's not gonna stick around to watcha crop of young players blossom in a few years..... That's not the project, nor the target he will be setting himself.
Besides we already have Sess, Skipp, Kulu, Gil, Sarr, White, Devine, Parrot etc. on the books.
We're not going to bring in 5/6 players at 50m a pop, so a couple of shrewd freebies will be a difference maker this summer.
Zero sentimentality involved in any of that.
(Not keen on Bale, but Eriksen absolutely!)

so no facts just supposition. Huh. I actually thought you knew something. Daft.Saw some tweets in the week — after they lost the Europa League game— that said that Lyon weren’t interested in extending the loan or buying him.The salary is THE problem and what I’m trying to explain. When these higher paid players fail, they don’t have many (if any) takers because their salary can only be afforded by top clubs and the top clubs don’t want them. they either take a pay cut to play at a lower club or just rot on the bench like Danny drinkwater. When there are 3-4 contract years left, players don’t want to give up the money. When it’s down to 1 contract year, the players are more likely to take a buyout like Alexis Sanchez did.
I'm not a court of law.so no facts just supposition. Huh. I actually thought you knew something. Daft.
I have a soft spot for Eriksen but as others have pointed out. He left on a sour note and he didn’t perform for the last two seasons he was here. It became a running joke on here the amount of times his corners failed to beat the first defender.
I wish him well and I’m so glad that he’s able to keep playing football. I think he should continue doing so for Brentford. He certainly wouldn’t be my first choice AM in the summer. If Conte wants to incorporate one into this team then we should provide him with the best available option we can afford. Not 30 year old Eriksen on a free because of the romance of it all.
Only the 305 appearances in 7 years. Couldn't wait to get away, indeed.

Not clamouring for his return at this point, but the vitriol some spout against every player that's ever left Spurs is a bit adolescent. Eriksen was immense for Spurs, and at times great. Time marches on.
More appearances than the likes of Modric, Bale, Alderweireld, etc...but, oh no, after 6 years as often one of the 3 to 4 best players in a club that could never get over the hump he said he'd be open to moving to a larger more habitually successful club!Facts are vitriol now I guess.

Christian Eriksen says he is ready to leave Tottenham for new challenge
Christian Eriksen has said that he would be open to leaving Tottenham this summerwww.theguardian.com
The only reason he went for 20M in January because he made it clear he wasn't interested in staying. His performances on the pitch reflected that. But you're right that time marches on.

Exactly. Hence the pre conviction bit of your text...was more than a bit previous. Hence my assuming you were breaking news.

Would you also be in favour of Spurs signing Mason Greenwood?Exactly. Hence the pre conviction bit of your text...was more than a bit previous. Hence my assuming you were breaking news.
