How Sonny does it. Sign a contract when we need him the most. How well a player plays is no reflection of his affection towards the club."He never particularly liked Spurs".........that's total bollox. Why invent nonsense, is it so easy to forget how many years service he gave to the club, all the goals and assists and good performances. A player who never liked Spurs wouldn't have put all that effort in. Give your head a wobble mate. How does a player show that they like Spurs anyway?
To be clear, I don't think Eriksen owes the club any affection. Just felt he's always been very aloof, I'm just annoyed that he finally decided to pay a bit of lip service to Spurs recently... only to end up at United.
No I'm not, it's a fact. KDB is one in a million, a 100m+ valued player who wins you league titles, a player any team in the world would sign if available. Bentancur & Hojbjerg are not. KDB is better. I don't give a rats arse about positional suitability.
It's really that simple, not gonna waste energy on arguing it any longer .. because christ, if opposition fans took a look over at a Spurs forum and saw us 'debating' whether Rodri/KDB/Silva is better than our midfield or not, they'd probably (rightfully) piss themselves laughing.
I'm still quite surprised the Pau Torres stuff went so quiet.
We bid for him last summer, he was interested but want to play CL with his boyhood club, no problem.
Seemingly now open to a move, was touted as on our list with Bastoni/Gvardiol and Schlotterbeck a few months ago.
We have Lo Celso who they want and could be included in a deal.
Funny one no? seems like a nice fit?

Their CM2 would be phillips and Rodri surely? That's pretty comparable to ours with Bissouma/PEH.
Announce a cake!
Very much so.
And having had him at Inter, even more reason to go with it.
Just feels like a bit of a pity. I’ll be interested to see if we go for any sort of AM now.
They don't fly economy.
A creative one, right?
We're making a similar point, mate; just from different angles.

Why does paratici love Barca rejects so much.
Lemon drizzle and a cup o' yorkshire tea!
Shit take mate. Eriksen was exceptional for us bar the last six months. We also ran the guy to the ground
Depay is 100% a better player than berg. No question ffs
Depay has played mostly center forward since he went to Lyon, not much of a winger anymore though still capable if necessary.
He'd be an incredible depth option for us, but I don't think he'd want to come to play that role. His goalscoring record since leaving United has been excellent at both Lyon and Barcelona. Also potted 12 goals in 10 games for the Dutch in WC qualifying.
Not dying to get him, but if Barca were to let him go cheap because of their financial issues he'd be a good addition.

Never criticised his time at Spurs.
I’m almost sure that if we now wanted him, he would come. United doesn’t even offer champions league football. I just think it was a bit shitty leaving Brentford for free only after six months. But just personal opinion. Football is after all just a business to most players
So? I fly biz to US (east coast 8hrs and -5) and it’s still exhausting
Flown first class to the US and jet lag is no better. The direction of travel is the killer. Can fly to the US in cattle class for 11 hours and be fine.
Come home first class, few drinks, sleep in a bed, fucked for 2 days.
