Well, you claimed it was not £130m, which suggests that you do know.
Where did claim this. What I have said is that I don't believe Levy wouldn't take less than that. I definitely do not believe Levy refused less than 130m in the summer of 2019 - which is what that article you posted claims. But I have no idea of the exact figure Levy would have taken.
What I do know is that Levy should have moved heaven and earth to sell Eriksen in the summer of 2018. You have even said this yourself-unless you have changed your mind again.
Again ? where's the again ?
This bullshit from you and Todd is getting pretty fucking tedious.
So tell me, when have I done this on Eriksen's situation? I've never changed my opinion that he should have been attempted to be sold with 2 years left at the latest.
When have I expressed contradicting opinions on anything at the same time?
We ended up with a player who didn't want to be here (Poch was very discreet when asked about it, but the more direct Mourinho said Eriksen was not fully motivated), and we ended up getting buttons for him. And a whole lot of drama we could have done without. So, we had drama, we took a significant financial hit, but best of all, we missed an opportunity to reinvest a good wedge of money to revamp the squad at a time when it desperately needed it.
And that is all part of a pattern when Discount Dan is involved. Not shifting players when they need to be shifted.
I don't know, but my best guess, for the wank that that is worth, is that we probably did put out feelers, and of course Levy would aim to get the most he could (which chairman wouldn't - look at the bullshit prices Aulas starts at when his players are going) but that no clubs that Eriksen was interested in, who might have paid "decent" money were interested in him. I think Levy would have taken less than 130m in the summer of 2018. I definitely think he would taken a fuck of a lot less in Summer 2019. In fact there were stories of Levy saying "we wouldn't be scared to sell Eriksen to another club in the PL" - that sounds a lot like Levy doing his best to advertise Eriksen out.

I think this was more about Eriksen doing what players sometimes do in his position, trying to run his contract down so much that he becomes more appealing to a club that is more interesting to him. IMaybe thinking Barca won't pay 70m for me, but they might take me for nothing ? think it got to Jan this year and he realised Inter was as good as it was going to get, and at 17m fee he would still get a very nice deal himself.
I could be wrong. I'm just trying to apply some logic, not go against what seems like logic - of Levy being all about maximising the deal - to do the shittiest deal possible. If my theory, and it is only a theory, and only presented as a theory is wrong, I'll accept it and say so. Until then all we've got is the usual newspaper tittle tattle.
Eriksen might have even given Poch and the club the impression he might be prepared to sign a new deal and Poch was hoping he would. This is a link of Poch himself saying as much in Nov 2018 - months after their Copenhagen meeting:
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says he is not worried about Christian Eriksen's contract situation and insists the club is "working hard" to tie him to a new long-term deal.

Maybe Levy didn't out him in the summer of 2018 because he and Poch thought this was just part of the negotiation and Poch was also really wanted us to keep him? We know he did something similar with Alderweireld's negotiations and they fell out about it, resulting in Poch not picking him for chunks of a season.
But for the record, my position on this is clear and never changed, a player like Eriksen, ie a key asset, should not be allowed to run his contract past 2 years. If Levy got offered a decent price, from a club Eriksen would have gone to, and knocked it back, it's fucking stupid and I'll criticise him. But we have to bear in mind that even then you cannot force a player to sign or move. If he refuses the deal and clubs on offer, as a club he has you over a barrel.
