Ex-Spurs Player Christian Eriksen

He's as good as gone
Don't we have a thing going where we can extend an extra year etc a bit like the Carroll contract deal.
I don't know if that goes for all players
Vorm (Not really important, won't get another contract)
Jan (Coming to the end of his career, will probably sign another)
Lamela (Repeatedly said he wants to stay, be surprised if no new contract)
Eriksen (Probably leave sooner or later)
Yedlin (Not that important)
Chadli (Will probably be gone this year)
Fucking Leicester pay Vardy more than we pay Kane. The accountants on here must be loving that.
I tend to think he flatters to deceive. He's not as irreplaceable as Klinsmann, Carrick, Modric, Berbatov or Bale were.
He's scored some important goals and flung in some lovely free kicks, but he's been guilty of using the Sigurdsson cloak for several games at a time, too, and isn't much of a get-stuck-in battler. All "imo" of course.
If I were ranking our best current players, my list would start off like:
Kane
Lloris
Lamela
Dier
Alderweireld
Alli
Dembele
and then I might start looking at Rose, Walker, Eriksen etc.
How much would you realistically suggest we pay Eriksen?
And QPR probably pay half of the shite they picked up more than Vardy. Smaller clubs have to compensate ambition with money, so it's not all relative imo.
Exactly. IF the likes of Crystal Palace and West Ham are now paying their stars more than us, surely that removes any credibility Levy has left as a progressive chairman. Especially when he, himself, is the highest paid club chairman in English football.
How is Eriksen demanding to be paid double our highest earner when he hasn't earned it himself meaning we aren't acting like a big club? Why hasn't the likes of Dier, who's about to agree a new 70k deal not rejecting the offer and asking for double that? He's equally as important to us.
Eriksen has always been about himself. Which is fair play to him. He's always said he wants to play for different teams in different leagues etc and is going to want as much money as possible but to reject a lowball Levy offer probably isn't the best idea he's had and then try demanding double our highest earner, if the article is true, is just ridiculous.

He's underpaid here. That's all. I'm not bothered what QPR pay their players. He doesn't expect 150k - he's dealing with Levy.
How is he underpaid? The offer he'd have got from Levy would have probably put him in line of equalling our highest earner which meant he'd have been paid his level.
