Christian Eriksen

[Huddy]

If he hasn't signed a contract by the end of the January window, we need to start succession planning for the summer. It's going to be one of the hardest tasks of the Poch era, but it's becoming more and more of a possibility, sadly.

It's already begun, problem is we got to wait about another 18 years for his son to be ready for first team football.

You have to realize that Barcelona is THE club to play for as a Dane. No other club comes close. Not Real Madrid. Not Manchester United. Not PSG.

Our greatest heroes, Michael Laudrup and Allan Simonsen, both played at Barcelona, and they are both idolized in our country. Those are the players Christian Eriksen have looked up to during his childhood. Why? Us Danes recognize the Scandinavian heritage. The sturdiness of being a Scandinavian. Something that expresses itself in our way of playing football. BUT we also think we play the superior form of technical football in Scandinavia. Our Swedish and Norwegian brothers dwell at the efficiency of kick and rush, where we want efficiency mixed with finesse. It's romantic, naive and an arrogant view, but it is how it is. Ask any Dane, Swede or Norwegian about this, and they will tell you the same I'm sure.

So, I don't think this is a matter of wage-level for Christian Eriksen. If Barcelona is truly interested, Christian Eriksen will join them. Because for a Dane Barcelona is the top-echelon. He will forever be placed alongside Michael Laudrup and Allan Simonsen in our football folklore. And that surely must be very difficult to resist.

Agreed. It is the only club he would leave for. I believe he will stay, but if they wanted him enough it would make life difficult.

I don't mean to be a party pooper but who is Allan Simonsen?

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Are Barcelona gonna pay out £100m plus for an area of the pitch they believe they have some super strong talent in?

 

[Rorschach]

Only the 1977 European footballer of the year. Spent one season at Charlton because some bloke called Diego took his place in the Barca side. Also won several European cups with Barca and Mönchengladbach.

Oh that Allan Simonsen. Yes, a brilliant player, I think. Amazing skills, I believe and liked to wear a football kit that was too big for him, apparently.

Ledge.

 

[parklane1]

He makes my pants sticky.

Without a doubt

He’s becoming more important than Kane to be honest.

We look completely lost with out him.

My thoughts as well.

Yeah. It’s what them and Real Madrid do. They make marquee signings, usually attacking players to try and one up the other.

But Barca also have a pipilne their proud of.. their fans were telling me they had some amazing youngsters in CM and AM

I don't think anyone told our U19s about them!

No they were in the first team squad

Perfect timing, since we'll have Maurizio Pochettino around to manage him by then.

Thankfully Eriksen is young enough to commit to a couple more years with us, and play for Barca. Levy needs to take him around the stadium with the new contract in his back pocket.

Levy needs to take a leaf out of Alan Sugar's book and lock him in a room and don't leave him out until he signs whatever the cost. Worked with Darren Anderton when Fergie was sniffing around.

Maybe Christian decides to wait until what decision Poch makes before he commits himself to a new contract

Maybe Christian decides to wait until after the January transfer window makes before he commits himself to a new contract

Fixed

Don't think he will cost that much next summer. Be surprised if we got half that with one year left on his contract.

Maybe but i can’t see us selling him for less personally

We have seen players like Oxo go for £35m with about a 10th or eriskens ability and a similar contract

 

[glorygloryeze]

Sounded like he was very quietly effective yesterday.
Is he one of the players in our squad that, apart from Emirates Marketing Project, no others in the top 6 have an equivalent?

Who needs Bale when you’ve got Eriksen!

I'd say he's almost worthy of parity with Kane now.

Even if its as much as 180k required, just give it to him.
