Skipped training? Must be skulking around the streets of Amsterdam in a pink hat and V-neck.
Song sorted?
He came from Middlefart
(round of snickering)
To play like van der Vaart!
@JanAageFjortoft highly. Intelligent, comfortable on the ball, great vision. You would've loved to play in front of him
It does amaze me how people are starting to say how poor the Italian and Dutch leagues are and should we be signing players from these mediocre leagues yet the same people would probably be happy to spend £30m on Hulk.
Norwegian scout Tor Kristian Karlsen (https://twitter.com/karlsentk) on Eriksen when asked how he rates him:
Jan Åge Fjørtoft is the ex-Swindon striker if you're wondering
Come on, even I have more credibilty than Fjørtoft
Skipped training? Must be skulking around the streets of Amsterdam in a pink hat and V-neck.

Twitter / WhoScored: Christian Eriksen: Despite only playing 6 CL games, only Ibrahimovic (7) & Götze (5) got more assists in the CL this season than Eriksen (4)
Twitter / WhoScored: João Moutinho: Christian Eriksen (3) was the only central midfielder to make more key passes per game than Moutinho (2.7) in the CL 2011/12
Twitter / OptaJohan: 138 - Christian Eriksen created 138 chances in the Eredivisie last season, 29 more than the next most creative player Dries Mertens. Key.
Twitter / OptaJohan: 84 - Of the league-high 137 chances that Christian Eriksen created in the 2012/13 Eredivisie, 84 were from open play. Space.
Dutch players are different to the Dutch league.
:ross:Except Eriksen's Belgian
The De Telegraaf article says they want €15m and we've offered €8m, but that €10m is a realistic fee given that he only has 10 months left on his contract. Sounds like there might be a bit of talking yet to do.
