I would say Eriksen doesn't owe us anything in terms of having to stay. But I think if he has any loyalty to the team at all, then he should at least sign a contract so that we can sell him, instead of leaving us with nothing. I'm sure they could make a gentleman's agreement on that. If he's insisting on not signing a contract to make us let him go on a free, then fuck him.
He's lost out on probably 15 million+ in the past 3 years by being extremely underpaid, which is why he wants to leave to make up for it.

He doesn't owe anyone anything because he - like Toby - have been underpaid for years.
 
Thursday is gonna be the day I reckon - an announcement every hour. New signings, contract extensions, stadium naming rights, etc.

All so Levy can walk in the stadium on Sat like this:

Thing is, how many contract offers have they turned down.

They want out because they have massive fucking opinions of themselves and think that they should be at Barca or Real, earning a fortune and winning everything.
 
The levels of Delusion are unreal.

We're struggling to sign players like Lo Celso, who half the footballing world hadn't heard of until June.
We couldn't sign Jack Grealish last year FFS nor can we seem to do a deal with a championship club for a player with a year on his contract.

now how the hell any one think we're even looking at Coutinho?
Seriously?!
 
Is this a joke? Guy's been getting paid peanuts and 50% of his market value in wages for years and not once been involved in anything controversial on or off the pitch - given his all and scored countless important goals, and he owes the club? Come on.

The simple truth is that he's leaving because we wouldn't pay him close to what Utd/Real et al pay their top earners, which obviously makes sense for us, but not for the players.

Eriksen has turned down several contract extension offers with large pay increases in them over the last 2 years or so.

Vast majority of first team squad have accepted their updated contracts with big pay increases.

Spurs can't force s player to accept a pay increase in s new contract.

BTW Eriksen is on record as saying on numerous occasions - even when he was at Ajax - that we wanted to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona at some stage.

Earlier this summer he repeated that and said if he didn't go to Spain he'd probably stay at Spurs.

At no time has he said he is leaving as he feels under paid.

Then the club should have either offered them competitive contracts or sold them before they ran down their contracts.

Toby and Eriksen are on less than 100kpw lol - United probably have 15 players making more than that, including Rashford who's on more than KANE makes ffs.

Here comes the customary 48 hour flurry of names that end up not signing, so the club look like they were really actually actively trying to spend some money...a bit like that time Levy was pushing his mythical wheelbarrow of cash around Spain looking for the wonder striker that we never ended up getting.
