Love how it's always pinch of salt this, pinch of salt that and then get the hump when they get called put after saying something is "bang on"

I agree. We need someone to unlock the door. I like the Hungarian guy who’s name is impossible to spell. Szoboszlai
He's been standout brilliant for Brentford since arriving there & been great in internationals too, and he fills a gap in our squad (technically gifted midfielder) so it makes total sense beyond nostalgia and sentiment that people would want him.
I get people not wanting/liking him because of the way he exited. But on a free signing he ticked a lot of boxes for us & it would be a big miss if we can't get him. We're still badly lacking players who score goals & create in the middle of the park.
Yeah even though it was a friendly I thought the striker looked quite good also.
We've got Kane and Kulu and our attack really started to click towards the back end of last season and they have plenty of guile. I'm sure Paratici has other names apart from Eriksen so I'm sure we will be fine.
Hotspur88 and Hercules absolutely bodied today.
Get in the bin
If we were interested in Richarlison we would probably have made a bid by now. I don’t believe this one any more… shame because I think he would be good for us.
Why? She is brilliant in what she does. I think denying such facts is weird. And delusional on same level as other team fans overestimating their players ability. Just does not make you look serious adult if you cannot admit that competitor is doing a good job.
I specially added that it would have to suit into our setup - no not suggesting that she would replace Paratici...
There's times when you need the midfield to chip in if you wanna step up beyond a top 4 challenge though, we've obviously got a very dangerous front 3 but if teams are able to cut service to them (as Brentford & Brighton did) then we have issues and nobody else really steps up.
I'm sure Paratici is looking at other options. Hopefully we acquire a player in that mould.
Why do we need her? We already have a brilliant negotiator, it's pointless.
Too many cooks...
If Eriksen comes then awesome, but I can’t be the only one not too fussed if he doesn’t? I think we can go for other creative midfielder targets that are not 30. Eriksen if he signs I would welcome with open arms. If he doesn’t, I’m really not fussed.
Sign her up together with Eva Cameiro. That will send a strong message to other clubs that.... well...

Conte doesn't usually have this type of player though. He relies on the system and repetitive practice to get the results needed. Yeah I can see us being interested in the likes of Raphinha, Paqueta and maybe Antony but these guys are like Kulusevski anyway so will just add depth to the squad rather than anything dramatically different.
If that happens and they all come over this site then Archibald&Crooks should be banned. But first from the transfer forum after being "harassed" a few times and threatened with his own "ban stick"

Eriksen just doesn’t fit anywhere in a 3-4-3 though. Those 2 midfield spots need to have some physicality because they have more defensive responsibility due to wing backs. He never performed well at winger in a 4-2-3-1 because he’s not fast or strong enough to be on the outside. It MAY be different than wing in a 3-4-3 where you have overlapping wingbacks, but I’m not sold.
His best positions are #10 or the highest of 3 CMs.
Your wasting your time its love
Barella & Brozovic contributed to 18 goals between them though, that's more than we are likely to get from Bentancur/Bissouma (our expected partnership). Barella especially has a much more progressive passing range and will make those attacking runs from deep.
And he also had Eriksen in a deeper playmaker role at Inter towards the end. I'm not saying we need some lightweight #10 type, but I do think we're still lacking a player who really wants to be involved in an attacking sense.
IMO, they cut service to them by winning the midfield battle. Eriksen helps a bit but Bissouma is more of the answer to that problem.
