They are both different types of a player to Eriksen. They are both risk takers. Eriksen was like the processor of the team. Constantly probing intelligently.

The Funny thing is , we are saying Levy would have got this done in 10 days.... how do we know the new lot haven't been working on it since Jan 1st, meaning with Levy he would have been signed already!!!!!!!!!!!!!Where’s the fun in getting it done quickly? We should be haggling them down for every last penny until January 31st.
You don’t understand football at all.
Didn’t stop him joining after Frank was appointed. That is classic fan projection.
It’s being reported he wants to go back to Italy for personal reasons.
Go back and watch literally any match he played in before he finally left. Especially anything from August 2019 onwards.
This could be the Paz scenario all over again.
Sources: Chelsea & Liverpool target Spanish star but Real Madrid would have final say
Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool are both interested in signing Como's Spanish defender Jacobo Ramon.www.caughtoffside.com
Como’s rising star Jacobo Ramón has become one of the most sought-after young defenders of the winter transfer window, attracting intense interest from several Premier League clubs.
Since December, Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool have been monitoring him closely, while Newcastle United, Brighton and Crystal Palace have also sent scouts to watch his performances firsthand, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.
Ramón, who joined Como from Real Madrid last summer, has quickly stood out as a composed, technically gifted centre-back with exceptional reading of the game.
At just 21 years old, he has already become a starter and one of the most consistent performers for the Italian club, contributing to Como’s ambitious project in Italy.
Jacobo Ramón has impressed Chelsea & Liverpool
The defender has made 16 league appearances for the Serie A side this season.
The Spanish defender is under contract until 2030, a long-term deal that reflects how highly Como rate him.
However, crucial clauses included in his contract mean any transfer is far from straightforward.
Real Madrid inserted an €8 million buy-back option and a 50% sell-on clause when they allowed him to leave, ensuring they maintain significant influence over Ramón’s future.
Although his current market value is estimated at around €18 million, the real cost to Premier League clubs could be substantially higher.
Because Madrid either receive half of any sale or can reacquire the player themselves for €8 million before selling him on for profit, English clubs must construct
financial packages
that satisfy both Como and Madrid.
Eriksen wanted out end of 18/19. He was explicit about it but we dithered so he stayed for 6 months before finally getting his move - and Poch being sacked along the way.
Before that he put up more than 20 G/A for the previous three seasons.
Yeah. And it's not like he had great choices himself. Wanted Gattuso and Fonseca.
I don't see Bergvall ever being a passing 8 though IMO, he will end up a better version of Gallagher in the long run owing to his good engine, physicality, eagerness to put himself about and ability to carry well, but passing is not his biggest strength, even under Ange he had very middling stats for progressive passes compared to other 8s in the league.
It's a weird one because he has the technical ability to make any pass but the decision-making and mentality to pass isn't really who he is. Agree with you, he wants to carry and run.
Barca had him lined up as a Frenkie De Jong type and he definitely passes the football.
Ex-Spurs star Eric Dier offered surprise return to Premier League
Eric Dier has been handed a Premier League lifeline as the defender has been offered to West Ham United, talkSPORT understands. Should the Hammers choose to pursue a move for Dier, it would mark a …

This could be funny.
To be fair at Barca you would need to be able to do both to even sniff their first team, Pedri is in the 98th+ percentile for both progressive passes and progressive carries, Gavi can do both to some extent but more of a Xavi-esque tempo-setter IMO.
Agree that Bergvall has the vision for mid to long range defence-splitting passes but his decision making under pressure is rather lacking IMO which makes him a bit of a liability if you wanted him to sit deeper and dictate tempo more than break forward and disrupt the lines of defence. To some extent I can see why Frank has been keen to profile him as a 10 as he's maybe the only player we have fit with the physicality to mix it with PL defenders, but unfortunately goals and incisive passes into the box are not quite arrows he has in his quiver yet IMO, nothing to say he can't get there but I think Frank has seen that Bergvall is a ways off being able to solidly contribute in that manner there. We have seen flashes of his ability to penetrate the box but I do see him doing this in more of a lampard-esque 8 role in the long term as he's just too big and strong with too good an engine not to end up in the centre of the park.

None of them live in Kent or Sussex obvs.
This would have dragged on and been a deadline day loan deal if Levy was still hereThe Funny thing is , we are saying Levy would have got this done in 10 days.... how do we know the new lot haven't been working on it since Jan 1st, meaning with Levy he would have been signed already!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m very keen!
Classy classy player. Young skilful, string, left footed
Really really want, I think he’s more of a kulusevski type player than a deep lying but still quality
I don't think it's so much letting Johnson go that supporters aren't happy about more so, not having a replacement lined up, So instead of plugging gaps in the team, another gap has been created.
Sadly towards the end the crowd were generally toxic towards him and I believe CE was happy to leave.
Wonderful player for us of course and repaid his transfer fee tenfold.
Yeah talk is he wanted Marco Silva
He looked in wonderful when we played them. Would be a 10/10 signing but I’m not sure if we get him in Jan.
