Peak Eriksen at the moment....
I live in Albania, and the overwhelming majority of people support the big 3 Italian clubs (AC - Juve - Inter in that order), and I have asked 2 of my mates just this summer (Inter fans), if an AC Milan, Inter and Tottenham contract would be offered with the exact same wages, where would you go? To my surprise, they didn't pick Inter... Inter have more trophies and history of winning than us, sure, but in terms of global expenditure, revenue, etc. Spurs are a class above.agree with some of what you are writing - however i dont think anyone outside the UK would agree that THFC are a bigger club than Inter Milan. Your comment about CEs attetude and performance is true in the sense that this is exactly what THFC fans are unhappy with - im just not shure they are right. I think CE is doing his best trying to influence games in a team where everybody are underperforming (CE included) and where the style of playing has been altered significantly from a possession based high pressing style to a more traditional british style with focus long balls, winning second balls through a lot of tackling and scoring on the counter-attack. CE has been playing a more defensive role in the latest games due to this tactical change - a role that does not suit him very well. I agree that he does not fit in the current squad with the current manager - but i would whish for THFC and for CE that his departure was met with a bit of understanding and respect from the tottenham faithfulls - he has given THFC many of his best years as a player and has undoubtebly been the best midfielder in THFC since modric - this, i believe, commands respect. and he has NOT been given any respect from a significant part of the THFC fans for quite some time - and that is, in my opinion, below the normal standards of THFC and THFC fans.
Inter are trying their hardest to gather all the rejects or has-beens. Next thing you know they'll go for Saha and Nelsen.
Let's hope Mr Ausilio (whoever he is) is not telling fibs or made a silly offer:
Bet they finish higher than us in their league though.
Can I interest you in one used Wanyama???
That's a guarantee. They're making a push for the title this year, a reason for such activity on their side in January. Different leagues though.
I Guess you dont watch THFC games. If you did you would know what youre writing i BS...

Albania...fair enough - you know two guys - this doesnt change my opinion though...I live in Albania, and the overwhelming majority of people support the big 3 Italian clubs (AC - Juve - Inter in that order), and I have asked 2 of my mates just this summer (Inter fans), if an AC Milan, Inter and Tottenham contract would be offered with the exact same wages, where would you go?
