not sure Lucas will go, not his footballing abilitiy but he speaks many languages and from what is said he acts as the welcoming/familarisation player at the club,
At PSG, I hope.Give Winksy a similar deal to what M’bappe has been offered at PSG
Where would you play Eriksen? Conte rarely deploys ACM. Yes, there wasn't any at Spurs - apart from Ndombele & Lo Celso both of whom he loaned out - who fits that description but I doubt he'll change his formation to fit in Eriksen.Eriksen is a no brainer. Basically carried Brentford. I'd say 2 centre halfs. LCB and CB, 2xwingbacks and a centre forward. CM next season will be Skipp and Benty. Hoj poss Sarr. We defo need a ACM like Eriksen.
If Eriksen came back he'd come back as an option, not a starter.Where would you play Eriksen? Conte rarely deploys ACM. Yes, there wasn't any at Spurs - apart from Ndombele & Lo Celso that he loaned out - who fits that description but I doubt he'll change his formation to fit in Eriksen.
Eriksen sure helped Brentford improve as a team but they weren't performing badly even before he arrived, so saying he carried Brentford is stretching it...
He's not built for a MF-2, and he doesn't oust Son, Kane or Kulusevski for the attacking spots. And with the coming WC coming up he wants to play regular 1st football to make sure he gets into the squad.
I am not against signing him up but I am not that bothered about getting him. And he was rather "uninspired" in his last season at Spurs when he had his sight set on leaving long before the season ended.
But would he join a club where he won't be a regular...?If Eriksen came back he'd come back as an option, not a starter.
The bigger problem for them is that any player worth that kind of money will be steering well clear now. It's easy to "scout" Osihmen and Vlahovic lolThey have that money and are not scared of spending it. How much did they spend on Pepe, 75 mill? 50 mill on White etc. Kroenke opened the spending taps a few seasons ago without CL football on offer
agree under Conte I feel the CM 2, will be defensive and water carriers with Kane and the WB's as the creative players, maybe Eriksen can play as WB, he can defend, he can cross, but can he stay on the wing ?Where would you play Eriksen?

Eriksen as a WB is as bad of an idea as Son as a WB or Sissoko as a RB. He can't defend for one, and he needs to use his vision to make things happen and pick passes, instead of crossing balls into the box.agree under Conte I feel the CM 2, will be defensive and water carriers with Kane and the WB's as the creative players, maybe Eriksen can play as WB, he can defend, he can cross, but can he stay on the wing ?
