I'm 26, and that 'Snapchat interview' made me feel old as fuck.
Could you link any of that? Danish is fine....fuck these English cunts
ochlol: I haven't seen or heard of him saying so, though I admittedly get the majority of my news in foreign media, so might have missed it. Not that I don't believe you; would just love to see his wording of those ambitions myself.
To him saying this about it being a journey, I've got two comments with a more positive spin.
1) If that was true, he'd have left Ajax sooner, as it's well-known he had several chances at. He might fancy a journey, but only if and when it favours his career.
2) When I was in my early 20's, I could list 10 countries, I wanted to try and live in by the time I was 35, and I know a lot of people who felt the same. By mid to late 20's you begin to truly grow up and realize, that staying put isn't half bad. He's still young, and might come to realize quite soon that the grass isn't by definition greener elsewhere.
And suddenly the Hamsik chat isn't so absurd
Don't worry. It's still absurd :eriksenlol:

Agree in general, but in regards to point 2, you have to make the stipulation of earnings and future earnings impact. I think if a player could happily trapse between Ajax, Spurs, Juventus, Munich, PSG, and Madrid they would in a heartbeat.
I don't think Eriksen would leave for Roma at this point in his career without a massive wage boost. He'll have enough people around him talking sense to prevent that misstep. But if Juventus called, we may have a struggle considering their success recently in Europe and the fact that that move certainly wouldn't damage his career earnings potential.
As you said, it's easy to view the world in an idealistic light when you're 20. As you mature you understand the impacts of the decisions you make. In short, you lose the romance.
When did snapchat became a social media? I remember 3 years ago it was a way to get lightheaded American ladies to send you pics of their tits and now it's a valid communication form? I'm getting old
Has been omitted from the Denmark Olympic squad.. Great news for us..
Hard to not disagree with his demands. All sounds amicable and good natured, neither party making themselves look like tits.
He'll re-sign IMO - he's on 30k, as compared to Lamelas 70k
He needs to be properly rewarded, & I'm sure will be

Eriksen comes off as a little snooty. I never hear about players saying they enjoy playing alongside him... Who knows.
I think he's just more of the quiet type.
This is what I'm deciding to take away from the evening standard article:
He needs to be on a minimum of 60k. Lamela is on 70k already and he is in talks too, so his wages may go up a little more, so if you are Eriksen you're thinking you want to at least hit that 70k mark really. I don't see any reason not to pay it, he is one of our most consistent performers, he's still young, seems to get on with it. He's been underpaid compared to some of his team mates for some time so hope the club just give him what he's due.
Blimey with the game a wash of money pay our only true creative
ball player you tight fisted little fucker.

Agreed; and he has a very dry sense of humour too.
It seems like him and Lloris are the two most intelligent guys in the squad (perhaps by some distance), and both of them come across as more quiet and reserved.
