Bunch of ill-informed bullshit.

Fuck off, sad fanboy twat.

I hope your boy retires early from international football in a couple of years for the sake of desperately clinging to Real Madrid's bench and the last remnants of his hope of ever being seen as a so-called world class La Liga galacticunt... Then hopefully you may start to to understand what it feels like to be let down by a player.

Fair play...

:mourshock:

A top-100 european footballer, working almost for free for Tottenham, being key to your CL final spot, with 6 years of legacy in the club, has one real bad season and must be treated like this.
 
He won't go to united. He already rejected them in the summer transfer window because he want to try himself in a club abroad either juventus in serie A, Aletico Madrid or Real in la liga, PSG in Ligue 1 or Bayern Munich in bundesliga are the only clubs i think he would be interested in leaving Tottenham for now. He probably already secretly have a deal with one of them that he is going to announce in january when it's legal for him to do so, either in january or a pre contract agreement to join one of them in the summer.

Signed on to this forum because I have been following from the sidelines since Eriksen joined your club.
When he was it his best, you all praised him like he was the second coming. Fuck Modric, you had Eriksen. I remember how you were all talking about the cheap wages he was on and that he should have an extension. He got that, 75. A big raise, but nothing compared to what Kane was offered. Still he plays without any complaints.
I remember that he stated, when he joined the club, that his ambition was to become on of the best and to play in Spain at some point of his career. No complaints from anyone, it was understood that he was a rising star like Modric and would probably/hopefully be to big for the club.

The truth is that the club should have offered him a decent contract 3 seasons ago, just like Kane and Dele. But since he is the quiet type that does not swing his arms like a monkey in a phonebooth, the club thought they could have a cheap world class player on the low until he was 2 seasons from his contract ending. It is their own fault that it ended like this.
Eriksen just quietly mentioned at the nations gathering, that he might want to try something new. Now he is taking shit from everyone at your club and he is not complaining. What a way to treat a very loyal player.

How long is a football career, 12 years? He his given your club 6! at a very low (for footballers) wage. Now he wants to try something else and you guys cant even give him that? Why, just because he mentioned that he wanted to try something new!
Loyal supporters my ass.

I will not write in this forum again, because I think you are not worth the time. Just think about what he has done for your club and how you are paying him back.

By the way, he probably could have left this summer, but your ever so worthy leader, decided he wanted 100 mill. for a player with one year left on his contract, realistic? I think not.

I will find myself out!

I can’t speak for everyone, but I think Eriksen has been a fantastic player for us and although HE refused additional growth in his wages, it is his right to find a new challenge and I for one will be sad to see him go because of what he’s done OVERALL.

What I take issue with is playing like a cunt, showing no passion or interest on the pitch, like he’s done for the best part of 18 months. If I turned up to my work and just fucking nonchalantly did nothing, I’d be disciplined and then sacked.

And we don’t know what Levy wanted for Eriksen. And we only know that United enquired for Eriksen and felt he wanted a Spanish club. That’s the only factual information that anyone really has. The rest is just pure tabloid speculation.
 
If he is going & signs a pre contract in Jan, then we should offer him on loan to the new club, that way we off load his wages and maybe get a small fee that we can put towards a new DM
the way he's playing it has to be better to off load a half hearted player

Incoming: Another Dane entering the arena to defend his banner men... (though not as fiercely as you might think).

For starters, danish media has begun striking out at Tottenham (the club) for handling CE badly at the end of their common contract with him. It is in Danish and I dont really give a shit about your illiterate british population, but because I am nice, I will give you a short insight: It is Thomas Graversen (former Everton and R.Madrid) saying that your club is being unprofessional and stupid for not facilitating its best player.

CE is probably the highest ranking player in Scandinavia atm. Probably not best in form, but you guys already knew that, right!? ;-) There are quite a lot of eyes on him, not only in Denmark, but also from Sweden, Norway and Finland. That includes players with ambition to go abroad for bigger salary and better prospect. Now Tottenham, being that second tier european club, that it is (still hats off to you for reaching last years cl final), need to offer these players something more, if the club wants to be able to attract the likes of Zlatan, CE or Erling Braut Håland, because you are not a "trophies-winning-team" and Totty dont pay foreigners top wages.

So like it or not, your club is looked upon as a stepping stone (at least), with a fair chance of not being chronicly benched (because you have no world class players onboard and team will struggle during season without high talented players). But Tottenham is also a team with great potential and a promising setup - or at least it was. I will put in my first real oppinion here: I think you should be very happy with this - it replicates how Ajax Amsterdam is viewed upon by many I know. This, I think, must be the solution to attract all the best talents abroad, without paying idiotically high sums in transfer and salary. It is a good place to be in for any club, right?!

Now your club (and a few of your supporters) are part of an ongoing image change. A rude one. First, we get a closer look at how Levy does business, which means as soon as you become a Tottenham player, you'll likely end up being treated like cattle - with a high risc of a near death carreer experience - because a player with a 1 year contract should not be 100 mill, that is a lockdown = stepping stone is wobbly.
Second, the club benches players running out their contract and loses games rather than letting you play, even if you placed 6 years of your carreer in the club, being (for a very large part of the time) top 3 squad player = security is gone. Third, the prospect is becoming less and less promising. Pochettino is gone and squad rejuvenation has not been successfull = setup is not promising anymore (again look at Ajax, they sold almost everything after last season).

Seen from over here, its becoming apparent that CE has been pretty loyal to Tottenham (could have chosen from higher shelf but gave Tottenham a chance and was part of a very good time, when he shifted from Ajax. Never demanded high salaries and has delievered quite a lot of stats and recognition - though I am sure many of you sad people cant wait to yell how bad he has been for you, even since now and back. I really dont care - caught up in emotions and illogical thinking is a waste of time. Fine, if you want to judge him, then consider his wage (against others in Tottenham) and how he still makes a difference to your team, even to this day (or call out Pochettino AND Mourinho for still using him).

Look... I am no fan of CE in particular, the frustrations you all feel about him, we get the same with him from our national team. Whenever he plays like a turd, the national teams is struggling. Everyone wants him off the carpet, when performance is shit. But it never happens and it is because he can pass and setup like nobody else and the national coach knows that. Tottenham have nobody else as well - Lo Celso is not able to, yet, at least.

Second oppinion: Tottenham fans just have to accept that the time you are in atm, this is where your real frustration comes from. But it happens anytime and for every club on the planet. Look at R.Madrid. ManU. Woolwich. And Brøndby (I hate them). So, now is the time to celebrate the players that lead you to a fantastic period, maybe ending at the highest point with a cl final spot and then start to support more than ever, because its downhill now and I am pretty sure your club and their players need support now, more than last year. Taking it out on players, still in the squad, is just... ??? And not honoring a player, that has been in your club for this long, I have no words to describe how badly I think of you as fans for this. English football fans and European football fans are truly of different calibers - with a nasty bad finger pointing at you. I dont get it.

As a discloser, I will apologise in advance if I have said something that was truely over the line, that really was not my intention and then I am sorry. Also, as I think I tried to state earlier, I am no particular fan of CE, certainly no fan of Tottenham or any other english club. I was/am trying to be fairly objective, but I acknowledge that I share nationality with the devil in your camp.

What a long boring post. So because we can’t read Danish that makes us illiterate does it? Why would we want to be able to read anything in your insignificant language? Anyway you can call us illiterate all you like but most of us know how to spell the name of your Danish compatriot Gravesen - though you clearly do not. Who are you Danish people to call our club a second tier European club? We have a proud history in Europe. As for Eriksen it seems he is putting in a lack of effort- not very loyal is it?
 
I have been following Tottenham intensely for the past 6 years. Especially during Poch there has been a fantastic development, which peaked with the CL campaign last year. Tottenham have gone from being an underperforming club which once in a while had fantastic seasons. Under Poch, the club has established itself in the top 4 and CL, while building a new stadium etc. Who had believed in a manager like Mourinho 8 years ago? I'm just trying to say that Eriksen with Toby, Vertonghen, Kane and Lloris has been the core of a team that has done well. It is quite natural for bumps to come on the road sometime in between. However, I think it is a team problem and not an Eriksen problem. It doesn't seem to make sense to make Eriksen a scapegoat.

Someone wrote that Eriksen had not performed well for 18 months. Nonsense.

I would claim that Eriksen's performance would have been fully on par with recent years had he been allowed to play from the start despite one or two bad matches in a row.

Eriksen has never been dribbling past three players, his speed is non-existent and he is not a physical monster. I honestly can't see what he's doing differently now than in the past six years. He’s not going to change his expression, he’s not changing his facial features, he’s not running any less or slower. He is a player who runs many miles per match. I think it's a misinterpretation that he doesn't bother. You have seen his passion for six years. It has not changed. The only thing that has changed is his place on the team, the playing time and the confidence.I honestly don't know what you guys expect him to do?

Been following for 6 years..... Coincidence?

Not as "intensely" as us actual fans.

....Another that can fuck off and 'support' a new club soon enough. :dembelefingers:
 
Thank you for your warm welcome Airfixx.

Was it a coincidence when you started supporting your club?

I also had a Tottenham-heart when Allan Nielsen played.

It hasn't been one or two matches, it's been 30 matches. His statistics have been abysmal this season. The things that he's supposed to be brilliant at, like free-kicks and creating opportunities, he's been terrible. People are still living off the hype of 2016 Eriksen...

Stop chatting shit. Eriksen has been poor for some time. He has either downed tools or is no longer good enough. As for passion I don’t see too much of that from him. And yes he does run great distances in matches but no longer with any great purpose or any real effect.
So come on then mate what has he done for our team in recent times?
 
I have been following the club since the loss to Manc Utd this week, I agree with the Danes who have posted on here. Anyone who earns roughly in a week what I would earn in two years is being treated shambolically. I hope he calls in the PFA to help out in his hour of need, he should create a picket line outside of the training ground. Maybe ACAS will be called in for some mediation between the two parties. Doesnt matter anyway, i will be back on the glory hunting trail very soon - come on Seattle Sounders
