OMG, I've got a belly ache laughing at thisMourinho Bans Vertonghen From Sex With Eriksen's Wife
José Mourinho has reportedly banned Jan Vertonghen from having sex with teammate Christian Eriksen's wife.
That didn’t really reply to my question.
I agree that, yes of course he should be acting professionally and giving his all for the club and fans that are paying his wages.
My question was whether we’d want to make use of a fully dedicated Eriksen even if we knew (or strongly suspected) that he’d leave on a free in the summer, or if we’d drop a useful and willing asset (which he obviously isn’t these days) in order to focus on life without him.
In other words, if Eriksen came out and said ‘yes I’m leaving on a free next Summer, but will play my heart out for Spurs until then’, would people prefer him playing or dropped.
It’s a purely hypothetical question.
Providing we had the players in our ranks to successfully attempt to do so (I believe we do), I'd rather we built towards the future, if not I wouldn't be averse to playing a fully committed and productive CE (much like i wasn't Modric).
It would be hypocritical to demand a certain kind of professionalism, only to inherently not trust a player to deliver it.

Modric was very much at the forefront of my thinking.
I disliked him from the point he started talking about Chelsea, and everyone knew his last season would be his last. But credit to ratface, he played superbly.
An on-form Eriksen is a huge asset, but seeing as he’s almost certainly off I’m not sure I want him in the team, no matter how well he was playing. I’d rather see players committed to a future with Spurs given the chance to become part of the first team.
Ok
If Eriksen said something like that
about leaving on a free in the Summer then he shouldn’t ever wear our shirt again because I don’t believe that he would put the required effort in unlike Modric
Something for José to sort or a DOF
I’m in agreement. Fuck Eriksen.
But let’s say he did put in the required effort and was helping us, would you want him playing even if you knew he was off?
It’s not a trick question. I’m just interested in the responses. I knew Bale was off during his last season with us, but he was phenomenal. Then again, we missed out on CL anyway.
Eriksen is a wonderful player, but if he’s not interested in staying I’d prefer us to focus on the ones who are, no matter how useful he might be in the interim.
I never hated AVB, but I’m confident that he predicted that Bale was obviously leaving.
If I’m picking you up right I think we’re in agreement
If any player doesn’t want to stay and play for us regardless of contract length then fuck them off from our glorious club asap and they are banished from our 1st team until they leave
They should feel privileged to play for us

Ugh... Jose's first lie
I think he said one of us "until the last moment" ... in other words, he is off as soon as possible.Mourinho reveals he's had another chat with Eriksen over future

Have you ever actually watched Eriksen? That's not meant to sound patronising, what I mean is, have you ever been able to watch Eriksen and nothing else?
If you do get a chance, what you'll see is that he never stops jogging. And I use the word jogging very deliberately. He doesn't stand still, not for a second, but he's rarely moving more than say 5kph. If there's a break on he will speed up, but he just jogs around, miles away from the ball at a lazy pace racking up the kilometers. 10k in 90 minutes is very easy going for an under 30. Very. I do 10k in my lunch hour, I'm not an athlete, under 30 or even particularly fit.
If you were to compare his nearest rivals for distance covered in, say, average speed during runs, he would be behind. If you were to compare where that running was in relation to the ball, he would be further away from it. It's an insignificant stat when you see how it was attained.
Right. So what we need to know is how many sprints he clocks up!
question... have you not lost trust in the players that have 'downed tools', and they should be shown the door. Not only did they 'down tools' as protest over the manager, but their attitude also has had an impact on the 'club' ? Or, its not really a case of 'downed tools', they were getting stale and either the manger or themselves needed to be refreshed (and Poch blinked first)? (Saying that, not signing a contract is pretty telling!)
'I'm not going to tell you what we said. Just me and him – and Amazon,' Mourinho said on Monday.Mourinho reveals he's had another chat with Eriksen over future

Need to get Alexa out of his office...
They make a joke out of it, but I think this will cause all sorts of problems (arguments over what is acceptable to air).
