Christian Eriksen

It's interesting though, looking through our outgoing transfers since clambel left, the only ones that IMO weakened us substantially was Carrick and Berbatov to Manure, and Modric and Bale to Real Madrid. All four sold to clubs far better than us at the time.

In the same period, Arse have sold, among others, Vermalen (Barca), Song (Barca), van Persie (Manure), Fibreglass (Barca), Nasri (City), Ade (City), Toure (City), Henry (Barca), Cole (Chelski) and Vieira (Juve).

Now I don't know my Arse history well enough to say all of these were in their prime, but there's certainly enough big name players there to manufacture a "Wenger regularly sells his best players" story. If you want to.

Funny how some "truths" gain momentum and others don't.

Its funny you say that as i keep being told by some that players are happy to qualify in the top four, they are more interested in doing that then actually winning things or so i am told.

I somehow doubt those players left Arse in order to have the chance of winning either the Spanish Cup or one of our own tup'ny-hap'ny cups. They left for BIGGER clubs in order to win BIGGER trophies.

They left for a team that was happy with top 4 and had regressed over the last 5-7 years. A team that was content to sell their best players to their peers vs. betters.

Players want money, they want to feel/see progress/ambition and they want to win things

But then how did Arsenal sign Sanchez and Ozil ???

Players are attracted to the carrots you dangle such as money if course, but then things like they stadium come into play. Players frequently mention that Ines they saw such a pond such a stadium that was it

And don't forget the man in charge and his appeal. Wenger had a huge appeal but now he is clearly in his way out über the next few weeks/years players will have a reluctance to sign. We have a man who is massively committed to the club and has built himself an oustanding reputation as a man to play for
 
Why can't our players be more like Poch and simply not respond to these suggestive questions around rumours?

Just don't give a comment and move the fudge on.. It will almost instantly nip any speculation in the bud.

Lucky football players have their physical prowess, the majority of them are so fudging stupid it's hard to comprehend.
 
You can be as dismissive as you want, what Eriksen has said will apply to pretty much all of our top players. Either we are at the very top level in a couple of years, or they will leave.....

Hasn't Pochettino made similar comments about potentially managing Argentina or PSG at some point in the future.

Eriksen is being honest here. This honest I can take. Here will try to make us a top club.

This. He's said that he wants to play at the very top level, and for a player of his talents and experience that's entirely expected. Don't forget that he's considered one of the best players Denmark has produced since the Laudrups.

He went on to name-check Barca, possibly because the interviewer led him there, but stated that it might be with Spurs. Fair enough.
