It's a reasonable concern for me as no doubt the club will have not wanted to get to this stage (2 years left) let alone in to the final year and i assume would have tried to initiate talks already - which means he hasn't agreed to anything offered so far
Unfortunately, any replacement will be a significant downgrade.We won't /can't keep a player of his talent forever. We've had a good few years of him and I fully expect we are looking at replacements already. Grealish is an option but probably not the answer.

Not all will be as far off him as Grealish but it's unlikely we'll get anyone close.
Maybe I massively overrate Eriksen, but I think he's genuinely world class.IF Grealish signs, I'm happy to see what effect Poch has on him over the next year. Plus Grealish will be surrounded by better players and exposed to a higher quality of football. If Poch can turn Trippier into the most coveted right back in world football, imagine what he can do with Grealish.
I'm sure Eriksen gave an interview a few years ago where he said he wants to play in another league like Spain or Italy. If he wants a move he knows that if he doesn't sign an extension it will be easier to get a move abroad to a top club.
He will be near impossible to directly replace.
It seems like he and the Belgians have got together and hatched a plan to let their contracts run down and leave now or next summer. Alderweireld now, Dembele, Vertonghen and Eriksen next year
Hopefully I'm wrong and at least Verts and Eriksen sign extensions. Not looking likely atm though
Im fullying expecting Jan and Eriksen (not from Belgium lol) new deals to be announced once the window has shut
Why would we have sat on those deals while trying to flog three-year corporate seats and naming rights? What would the window have to do with it?
Be fair, Sissoko turns into everyone.Maybe I massively overrate Eriksen, but I think he's genuinely world class.
Turning Grealish into Eriksen would be akin to turning Sissoko into Pirlo.

Need that deal signed or he is gone.
