Genuine question, what if he ends up like Wimmer, like an average player playing for a very good system? The chance of that happening is very low (because I think that Eriksen is still good), but holy shit would that be hilarious...

He's a very good player but when players down tools for as long as he has due to lack of motivation it may be hard to get it back again look at Alexis Sanchez

Wimmer...what an odd story. That run he had, he was possibly outplaying Toby. He was on fire and made a lot think it would be hard for Verts to get his spot back. Truly an odd story cause he is nothing like he was for that stretch.
 
levy out brigade are saying its a fuck up by him not to sell him for 80 million and if he did at any point they would label him a cunt for selling.
I am not a part of any 'levy out brigade' but I am critical of bad moves. I would not have shed a tear if we got 80M for CE last summer and reinvested it in a more balanced squad. I wouldn't give a shit if we sold Harry Kane tomorrow if it meant a better, balanced squad and incremental success on what we had done the past 5 years. See, beat you to the punch. No second guessing here. In fact I wanted him gone as I hate #10s and any other player that doesn't bring it in all aspects of the game. And I really appreciated CE but was tired of our penny-pinching over-reliance on 1 creative player. Getting rid of him would have forced our hand to evolve.

I don't have a silly, small-minded 'not a selling club' mentality. Everything has a price and smart people know and accept that implicitly. And you know what, you'd sell Harry too...for the right price and tell the 'Make Spurs Great Again' crowd to go fuck themselves after you did it. As a matter of fact I would sell Harry to Woolwich...for the right price. It would be huge but you'd still sell him.

Different window, fam.... 2018 was the one before.
 
totally agree-levy out brigade are saying its a fuck up by him not to sell him for 80 million and if he did at any point they would label him a cunt for selling. Cant have it both ways-we got 6 years of service for 15 mill was it? And have done it with him on half the wages he would have been on elsewhere so fuck it.

I’d probably be classed as part of the levy out brigade but can’t see how he’s culpable here. Thank god he’s got something for him and he’s gone. Both sides needed him to go now.
 
It seems like Mourinho is (and has always been since he started in management) a Mendes client. But Mendes basically hired Zahavi to broker the deal to Spurs since Zahavi is a known top level negotiator (and a friend of Levy). Some papers say he used an agent named Daniel Lorenz.
Friend? Wasn't Zahavi the one that screwed us in the Moutinho deal? Or was that just DL slow-playing the situation?

I think Verts kicked up a fuss and Poch was scared that Verts might ask to leave, so he ditched Wimmer out the side and of course his form suffered as a result.
 
But we can have an educated guess that it maybe wasn't Accrington Stanley...
Don't know who said we couldn't. Or that he didnt want to leave to play rugby. I like this game. You started by saying he would only leave for Barca & Madrid as though it was fact remember. You did add juve later on to be fair.
