I remember looking up to the skies above Wembley and shaking my head in pure astonishment. It felt surreal; like I was experiencing some hallucinogenic high but that I’d wake up at any moment.

Give him some credit - if money was ever the only thing on his mind he wouldn't have stayed with us on a low wage for so long, thats one thing I don't think can be thrown at Eriksen.Bullshit, he joined because he won't have to pay tax on 50% on his earnings there. You don't go somehere to win things if the other players the club signs at the same time as you are Victor Moses and Ashley Young. He's in the Premier Reject Team. He went there because Barcelona and Real Madrid weren't interested and Inter Milan offered him the most money.

They've massively improved under Conte to be fair, wouldn't suprise me if they win the Europa League this season and possibly the Copa Italia (already in the semi-finals). Only 3 points behind Juve after 22 matches in the league (only 1 loss), although it seems unlikely that they will finish above Juve.His claim about going to Inter for trophies is bollocks, they haven't won a trophy since 2011. Claiming they have more chance than us of winning a trophy is utter nonsense, especially considering we have been closer to winning trophies than they have in recent years.
exactly-in a two horse race with Juve too. As much as I haven't enjoyed his last year and thought he shouldn't have been playing he was a good servant for nearly 7 years and was brilliant for long periods of it. If he wanted a diff challenge in a diff country I wish him well, personally think Italy is a great move for him.They've massively improved under Conte to be fair, wouldn't suprise me if they win the Europa League this season and possibly the Copa Italia (already in the semi-finals).

As I said already, fat pay checks haven't come into his thinking for 7 years at spurs so why are you tarring him with that brush now? He also went for a fee and we actually made a profit on him unlike Ramseys move down the road - I think a lot of fans are being very fickle about this, hes gone and good luck to him.My point is, anybody who believes that was the motivation behind his move are delusional.
He went there because Barca and Madrid didn't want him and he's going to pick up a bigger paycheck with half the effort required to make it at spurs as a consistent first team player.

It seems you have to be ledley king and have been at the club your entire career from 8 years of age to gain fan respect these days.
