I watched today’s match on ESPN+ in Spanish. You would not believe (or maybe you would) how many negative things they said about CE. Basically said that he isn’t trying and his execution is far beneath the club. One of them basically said he was embarrassed for CE.

Blimey. Today he played out of his skin to impress Conte.

I hope those same commentators don't watch any of the games he played over the last 12 months or they will move past embarrassed and into anger.

The fans are one stage past that at apathy.
 
“Rumour” has it Inter have offered 8.5m for Eriksen, the same “rumour” says we want 17m or no deal....
Ok, so is Eriksen worth more than 8.5m? Of course he is, but come the summer he walks for free, in fact we will have paid him around 2 million or so by that time on wages alone.
Great if Levy can squeeze 17m out of them and I’d be the first to acknowledge it by saying “well played son” ........ but for the love of god if he can’t get 17m then just get what you can and move the fuck on, he is doing absolutely nothing positive for us right now bar making up numbers.....that’s a lot of millions that could be the difference in getting Fernandes and not getting Fernandes🙄......just get it done for fuck sake!!

Chris has been professional and respectful throughout.

He hasn't demanded a pay rise in line with our other top players.

He hasn't gone on strike or not turned up to training.

He has praised the club and respectfully commented that he wants a new challenge.

He has played whenever needed and dispite what armchair pundits think, he has put in good performances.

Supposedly turned down Man United.

One of the best midfielders in Europe available, at a prime age and at a cut down price. Rest assured there are many clubs chatting to Levy on this move.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he signs a new contract with us.

The games where he got the winning goal/assist or are you only referring to those performances that suit your narrative?

16 goals. 21 assists.

Yeah he's shit.
 
This is only my own thoughts and speculation.

The reason for only loan signings and only giving Mourinho a short term (ish) contract is because ENIC are looking to sell.

The club are in its most financially sound position it’s ever been in, the new stadium is built, the naming right are rumoured to be almost agreed for over £400m and we have our best players tied down to long contracts. It just makes sense that ENIC aren’t committing to new signings as they don’t want to pay the big bucks if they are moving on.

I might be wrong, but it just seems to add up.

I wonder if this getting them in on loan is a tactic for handling cash flow until the stadium revenues start rolling in. Or if it is bringing in players in try out fashion.

"In other news. The private jet that was suppossed to take Danish international Christian Eriksen from London to Milan to finalize a move from Tottenham to Inter has been hijacked by a group of angry Spanish football commentators. The plane is now circling international waters and Eriksen is being heavily berated in aggressive Spanish. Tottenham chairman has asked the government for help but Prime Minister Johnson is only responding with 'Brexit means Brexit'. Levy has now turned to the Danish government for assistance".

Not saying that we play like that all the time. He can go up top or drop back to break legs.

Or dance on the bar. Whatever.
Just a bit of a laugh mate.

I actually like Mitro, especially the version at Newcastle when he was a psychopath I think he’s softened his game, some might say it was necessary to remain on the pitch but I thought he was always more dangerous when steam was blowing out of his nose.

In any event I would far rather we tried to look for a brand of football that is played by every Ellite club Currently than those in the Championship or at the foot of the current table. Can’t think of any club playing with a big number 9 as a target man competing for the league or CL, can you?

He also told Man Utd to fuck off last summer.

Deserves huge respect for that alone,
 
So...we can only have two players on loan at any one time, so what happens with Gio if both of these come in? Do we make it permanent or are we binning him? Hopefully the former
From other PL clubs apparently. Loaning in from outside of England is apparently only limited by the homegrown quota.

But surely we are making Gio permanent. He's won over Mourinho by the looks of it.
