Eriksen is done. If he doesn’t want to sign a new deal Mourinho will freeze him out. We have the squad now that we can afford to do it. If he goes in January then we’ll replace him.
Telling words from Jose.
"I need to see what is in Eriksen's heart."
If that was his one chance to redeem himself then he failed. Jose won't take passengers.Absolute sh!t when he came on. Waste of space.
I think he hates to work under a manager with a mindset like Mourinho. Wenger would be perfect for him.Telling words from Jose.

Essentialy, he's turned into Mesut Ozil, hasn't he.

If he ever plays for us again, watch him off the ball.
There's always been this statistic that he covers more ground than anyone else so he must be working harder. Couldn't be further from the truth, he casually jogs constantly, he's always moving, nowhere near the ball and not really doing anything.
I'm a 13st 38 year old and could cover at least as much distance as him in 90 minutes jogging about like that.
He has stats in his time at spurs that make him look like he's world class but I question a lot of them.
He's been here a long time now. When you see stats like "number of assists since Eriksen came" he's gonna be higher because real world class players like KDB haven't been here in that same period and have missed matches (because he actually gets involved)
Eriksen has had no real rival in his own team to challenge him so he's been picked almost every game he's available for.
He's had Harry Kane ahead of him, who at times seemed to score goals with his eyes shut. You only get an assist when the player you pass to scores. Hazard was passing to Morata at times.
We can survive and progress without Eriksen, I have little doubt.
The fact that no one has pushed hard to sign him at any stage of his Spurs career tells you all you need to know.
Fuck Eriksen another player who downed tools under poch , don’t want him in a spurs shirt ever again .
We have to be pragmatic. Almost all our players downed tools under Poch in the last few months, if we can get people like Eriksen and Toby excited and committed to Tottenham again then we can save ourselves a lot of money and focus our spending on adding quality not replacing it.
Eriksen might start against Olympiacos but Mourinho will judge him very quickly. Either his heart is with us or it isn’t. We saw yesterday that Toby, Dele, Aurier, Dier, Lucas, many players with a question mark showed they are still alive and can be trusted to work hard even if they aren’t in their best form. Give him one start and if he wastes that trust then put him out of the squad.
