He is right in a way, the only people really invested in a club emotionally are the fans. I agree it sounds wrong though.Good post. I think the "So, Spurs fans it has been a pleasure to play at your club" was the bit that left a bad taste for me. Almost like he has NO affiliation for the club, it was only a (large) wage packet. Nothing more, nothing less.
I know that is the case for a lot of players but at least pretend you actually liked the club and liked the fans a little bit.
I always said he’s a dead fish. It’s upsetting but it isn’t surprising to me in the slightest, just who he is.Good post.

You know I’m agreeing with you rightThanks mate, great post.
Just plain weird and faintly ridiculous...

This desperation to paint Eriksen in a good light as if he’s done us a favour by leaving in January
Ramsey wasn’t offered what he felt he was worth, gave it his all until the end and received the recognition for that. Eriksen on the other hand came out in the media proclaiming his desire for Madridor Barcelona, put in pathetic performances for a year, had rejected numerous contract offers claiming it’s not about the money then moves to Inter fucking Milan.
Ramsey is at the club which has won almost everything in Italy for the past decade, the club which signs Cristiano Ronaldo. Eriksen is at the club which signs Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku and Ashley Young. If that doesn’t say it all about Eriksen’s ‘dream’ move abroad then I don’t know what does.
Hey Borks we had better stop knocking Eriksen as we clearly both have it wrong about him. I have just seen that Transfermarkt rate him as Serie A’s most valuable player at £81 million!!! Are these people for real?
No, you're the cunt.
I bet you're a bit of a cuckold at heart, like being treated like shit by a half-way decent blonde. That's what Eriksen has done to us, shit on us from a great height and act as if we should be grateful in the process.
Support SPURS or fuck off.
I get that but you could also say the same about Man United.Because for most of the time we've been in the CL they have been in the no-hoper league. And when we met them in the CL, we knocked them out. (at group stage)
They absolutely have a rich history and are bigger in their league than we are in ours.
We've just been better than them for a good few years now.
I get that but you could also say the same about Man United.
But a player going from Spurs to United is most definitely not a step down!
Why Real Madrid decided not to sign Eriksen
After Inter signed Christian Eriksen for 20 million euros, it begs the question as to why Real Madrid let a player who was out of contract in June...www.marca.com
Apparently, Eriksen was closer to Madrid than was let on.
I think that Eriksen was annoyed with Levy tbh, maybe that affected his performance.
Is it not?
Since Fergie left they've been in a slow, steady and pleasant decline. As long as they keep throwing obscene amounts of money and untested players and employing clusterfuck managers it'll continue.
Their fans are a bunch of plastics, attendendances are already dropping off as they start to support City or Liverpool.
I don't dispute they're financially huge and (currently) well supported.They are easily the 3rd biggest club in the world financially, commercially and as a fan base. In the 6-7 years since Fergie they still have silverwear. They are an absolute behemoth of a club, no they wont be forever but they will improve with the right manager.
I don't dispute they're financially huge and (currently) well supported.
But on the pitch, they're miles, lightyears behind Barcelona, Madrid, City, Liverpool, Bayern, PSG and they're falling further behind each and every year.
The fact that one og the biggest clubs in Europe pay 17m to sign a player with 5 months left of his contract speaks volumes. Compared to inter Milan THFC is a minor club. Levy sabotaged CEs move to Real Madrid. What an ashole...Number of teams willing to pay £17m for him - one.
“let’s put his value as £81m”
