Hi there
I'm Marcel from Amsterdam, and a big fan of Ajax and Tottenham
Tottenham allways used to be my favourite English club, but that went stronger when Rafael came to play for Tottenham.. I wanted to see every game and I was proud of him, beeing called the bargain of the year.. and he was..
Now i have the same feeling with Eriksen.. Though he is not Dutch, we are proud of him as a child of the Ajax family.. And he left a big impression and had a big part in our last 3 league titels
It is the faith of a club like Ajax we can only enjoy our "kids" when they are young.. When they get better we have to let them go.. The number 18 in England earns more money on television rights than the whole Dutch league together (18 clubs)
We don't mind.. we want to get the best youth players in Europe, want to make them better and then let them go
But if we have to let them go, i wouldn't mind sending them to Tottenham.. Like one of you said: I wouldn't mind to have a friendly relationship with Ajax instead of Real Madrid
Next 2 promising boys are growing up in our team now, and they happen to be Danish too
Fisher: strong, fast, aggressive, more attacker then midfield, 19 years old, has more ups and downs than Eriksen be cause somethimes he wants too much of himself for being too eager, but very promising..
Andersen: just got 19 years old, banging on the door of our first team, stylish like Eriksen, little fragile but awfull technical skills.. De Boer thinks he is able to fill the gap Eriksen left in the future
And there are a few more to come (not all Danish ;-) )
I am getting myself ready for the next match against Villa.. hope i can enjoy Eriksen from the first minute
Cheers, have a good match lads!

Christian Eriksen @ChrisEriksen8 2 min.2 minutter sidenNot the result we wanted! But still one point and great support from the fans
When Gibbsy sees the team line up before the match...
(yes, a full version would be good, but meh)
What a fantastic bloke.The guy suddenly showed up at a training for his hometown's youth team for handicapped today.
Does it every year.. Legend!
Quiet, unassuming and never in the press for the wrong reasons. Superb footballer & gives back to his community in his spare time...probably to one of the most worthwhile causes you could think of. No glitter or glamour or attention seeking. Just turning up in his hometown for a training session with the less able of society.
Diamond.
Hi there
Another dane here. I have been following this site ever since Eriksen made the switch to Tottenham and am only now offering some humble opinion to this saga. I will do as my co-dane did and try and weigh in on what is what and what is not (as if I in any way could know for sure - i do not. However...
Firstly, I will be completely honest and state that my favourite club is and has always been FC Barcelona. I became a fan of them a year and a half before Michael Laudrup made his move into the team from Juventus. And well... Yes, i was completely sold on their breathtaking style of football, and it has been that way ever since.
I was born in England, on the Isle of Wight, and despite so many great english teams over the years, none have ever sparked any continuous feelings of the sort that Barca have (no offence intended). Hope you all will welcome me here
Tottenham made me fall in love with the Premier League when Eriksen made the move to WHL, and has since made me fall completely in love with the Club. I now have to loves in football, my first love, and my mistress.
Eriksen in many ways reminds me of Laudrup. Not the exact style of play, but his work ethic, his vision and his genuine and honest approach to the game - a gentleman's approach.
I have been torn in regards to Eriksen. On one hand i felt he was always destined for FC Barcelona, walking in the footsteps of Laudrup and maybe exceeding him (just maybe).
On the other hand I feel that he was the spark that lit up the burlesque in England for me, the place i could be naughty when my wife couldn't (or wouldn't) entertain me.
I feel about 98% sure, that should he leave, Eriksen will leave for one club only. My first love.
However...
What Spurs have achieved in such a confined space of time, has been marvellous and nothing less than stunning.
Hats off to Levy - he has indeed framed the "Audere est Facere".
Tottenham have become a real threat and a force to be reckoned with and a serious competitor for the biggest trophy's out there.
By now all you beautiful Yid Army Glory's should know that it is hardly the paycheque that is deterring Eriksen from signing the contract. He is playing for 70k/week - a fecking drop in modern football terms (disgusting for some either way i am sure).
Look at what is going on, and when i explain, i hope this makes some sense (it does to me).
Madrid are pundits favourites atm for Eriksen's. I would challenge that as a complete bucket of Woolwich!
What is true, and what has always been true, is that Eriksen doesn't make rash or sudden decisions (doesn't even do that on the ball). His move to Ajax was well contemplated, couple of years later he made an even smarter decision, much to the surprise of both the english and danish media. The money off Bale yielded a bunch of players, herein Eriksen, the only player from that €100mio to really be a success.
Why will he not go to Real Madrid? Because they do not have a plan and with key players rapidly ageing I just laugh this one off. As should all of you. They don't have a coach. They do not have the players for it. I fail to see the attraction to a player of Eriksen stature, it would be like starting over for him. And for what reason really??
The situation with Rabiot at PSG is extremely interesting, though. Long has the frenchman been on Barca's radar, but they are well aware of is antics at PSG. He is free to sign a contract with them now, Barca are free to talk to Rabiot and sign him come July should the wish to do so. So with all the talk and rumours, why hasn't he, or they?
Maybe the situation with Eriksen being out of contract in 18 months has changed something. The difference in quality of each player is just embarrassing for Rabiot. If Barca were to sign Eriksen this summer, i would just hand them the CL trophy for the next 4-5 years. No contest! Look at the players they currently have, look at what they have done in the market as of late and look at what may be on it's way in. It would just destroy anything out there with Eriksen on that team.
However, if Barca do sign, Rabiot. Then i feel very very relaxed in Eriksen drawing his John Hancock to pen a new deal for 5 years with Spurs. It just makes the most sense with Tottenham penning so many solid players and the coach, the new stadium etc etc. It would be the continuation of his own legacy at an honest and great club.
Honesty and humility have always been core values of Eriksen on or off the field of play. It would be down to a club and team effort, that truly deserves the recognition. Not fast money splashed but hard work.
So I therefor argue, that in essence there are only two possibilities. Either he goes to Barcelona to form a truly terrifying formidable force with Messi, Dembélé, Coutinho, Suárez, Busquets, Arthur, Alba, Umtiti, Vidal, Ter Stegen and probably Neymar, or, he stays put to try and reach the pinnacle with improving and beautiful Spurs.
I cannot see anything else happen.
If I'm right about the latter option - someone buy me pint when i come to visit.
Fair?

hi guys
translation of the interview to danish newspaper. "we can't control what the papers are writing, i will not comment on rumours, there is no real offer to comment on" " i think people know what i want and i know what Tottenham wants, we are in a fine negotiation, so there is no problem."
I have a humble theory that all that Eriksen wants is to be playing at the highest level as possible with chances of wining the biggest trophies with a trainer who wants him and know how to play him.(doesn't everybody)And right now i think the reason that, he has not signed, is partly because of barcalona and the length of the contract or that he wants a max on what price levy can put on him .
He knows levy will put a price on him that is total unrealistic, so he will give tottenham everything as long as there is a coach that knows what his worth and there is a change of winning something, but does posh leave, no investments from levy and he has a chance at barca maybe even real, then he wants that chance, and does levy not want to give him this door, then he will not sign. So i think that they are stranded on length of contract or Max amount for selling him.
I think ,if he could choose exactly what he wanted, than he would choose a year or 2 more with Tottenham to see if the project with poch and his teammates will skyrocket, which is the potential, if Levy invests in more quality players and then after that Barcalona for some years, just my humble quess. Sorry my english and spelling, english is only my 3rd language. and thx for welcoming me so nicely, hope to come to the new stadium and be on the tube with the fans like on the video posted on here. Eriksen sen sen sen, i promise i will shout very laud and drink a lot of pints, that i have to do when the new stadium opens. That would be A dream come true for me.

You waited until Case turned off the neg reps didn't you............I wonder if e enjoyed meeting @Smoked Salmon at the training ground
Blatant "I wank to little girls on omegle" post.
It has been obvious for a very long time that playing for Spurs has become a chore for Eriksen.
He wants out. I want him out.
He wants out. I want him out.
Apologies if already posted, but I heard that Christian Eriksen was turned away from the polling booth today after failing to put a cross in the box after 27 attempts.
What a disgusting thing to say!
Fuck me, did Inter fans never watch him play for Spurs, even when we were beating them...
Eriksen...tackle.
Luxury player - Check
Won't put a tackle in - Check
Just need 'can't beat the first man from a corner' for a full house.
