:tanguyhuh:
He doesn't have to be as good as he was 3 years ago, he can be as bad as he was when he left and still be adequate creative cover for Ndombele...
Different circumstances though.
Defoe left to get first team football. Continued starting and scoring at the top level and came back to do the same.
Klinsmann left after one great year. Continued to play at a good level and came back when we were absolute shit to save us from relegation.
Eriksen has been in decline for near on 3 years and cant even get in the Inter Milan team.
Not comparable at all.
Unless you can find someone we sold who was on the decline when we sold them. Failed at their new club only for us to bring them back and hope they were as good as they were 3 years ago.
Robbie Keane coming back worked out pretty well if I remember
I read your post wrong! Yeah i cant see anyone talking about Eriksen either tbh, could have been so differentIn 20 years who will we look back on with as greats of the era? King, Modric, Berba (maybe), Bale, Kane, Son, Hugo? I can't see many telling their grandkids about this playmaker we had who did nothing when we got to cup finals.
This thread...
An appropriate image to choose. He didn't seem to rate Eriksen.
The bearded cunt only ever seemed to have Eriksen in the starting XI for the Europa League matches against shitty opposition and would have him on the bench for the league games even though he was clearly one of our best players.
But but but there's the whole "came to the lane for AVB" that can't be a lie....not in song. Everyone knows you can't lie in a song!An appropriate image to choose. He didn't seem to rate Eriksen.

I've still got time for him. Can't really explain it, I just like AVB. Just don't think he possesses the personality to be a football manager...in another life (or maybe later in this one) might have made a bang-up DoF of similar. Still maintain the biggest difference between him and Poch was Poch was able to get the squad to buy-in which gave him the time to set the defencive style before opening the attack. AVB just inspired revolt, just as he did at Chelsea.I fucking hated AVB from day one.
After his complete failure at Chelsea and the way their season took off the second he left, I just couldn't see the sense in appointing him.

Because he was fucking shit and the players wanted him out.
The guy's a complete charlatan who's made an absolute fortune from getting sacked.
