So why are you talking about moral conduct then?
I guess you think Sol Campbell was simply doing what was right too.
Or are your “rights and obligations” different depending on which team you join.
And on the flip side, if he owes us fuck all respect, then don’t be surprised when people turn on him.......what goes around comes around

Judas was the totally opposite situation, don’t you think?
Until his very last day he lied through his teeth and told us he’d extend.
Eriksen had done the exact opposite and has been honest about his intentions, allowing the club to look at alternatives and prepare for his departure.
That’s really the best we could expect of him, no? Just be frank and truthful about what he intends to do so that everyone knows what to expect and make preparations.
To expect anything beyond that, i. e. sign contracts that you don’t want to sign or that’s not in your favour etc., I think is just so naive and detached from reality that IF that’s what you really expect from the players then I’ll bite my tongue and stop adding to this subject.

We can't afford to lose him or Toby imo. Whoever we bring in to replace them would have to be of equal skill or better and hit the ground running, which seems very unlikely.
I think, regardless of who we sign, we would be a weaker team if we lost them.

Yup, so we try to get some great replacements and try to get them to gel throughout the year and rebuild.
Has to be done once in every few years at least, I think our task id made easier this time round by a weaker Chelsea team who are unable to sign anyone and Woolwich and Man U who are in a rut.
I would strike A on the basis that selling your house if you don't know where you will be working in 2 months from now is a deeply stupid thing to do.
Get off it...
Jesus...
No one is stroking Eriksen by saying people are overreacting.
O
This is the thing, bring the replacements in now and keep Eriksen and Toby, bed them in and let them be competition for their places, then, if we think they are good enough come the following season we are in a more comfortable position to let Toby and Eriksen go and bring in competition for our new replacements.
Obviously they have to be replaced eventually anyway but I don't like this idea of just selling them and replacing them with people who have to hit the ground running and could possibly be weaker than those two in general anyway.
It's a stupid way to do business imo, also, the reality is, if we just sell to buy we are no better off than we already are anyway, our issue (besides replacing Dembele and sorting our fullback positions) has never been weakness in our first 11, it's always been weakness in our depth.
We are a better team now than we were with Bale and Modric, two players who are far better than anyone in our current squad.
Eriksen and Toby want to leave, if the right offer comes then let them go. They are not the only good players in the world. We have enough quality in our team and our coaching staff to handle their departure, we may have to play a different way but so what? Two years ago Toby effectively was a non-entity and Davison was thrown straight in, we finished 3rd comfortably.
We cannot force players to sign contracts, if these guys don't want more than 1 more year at Tottenham then we have to be pragmatic and be ready to replace them if the right offer comes. We have to trust that Levy and Poch know what they are doing.
So if Eriksen runs down his contract and joins aresenal you won’t mind because he didn’t lie, and he “owes us nothing”.
Good to know
Paul Pogba increasingly likely to stay at Manchester United next season
On a separate note, if Real are to be priced out of a move for Pogba then I do think Eriksen will move. I can’t envisage them going into the new season without twinkering with their midfield at all.

If he wants a new challenge he may well have to shop around for a new house in London then!
ochfacepalm:
So it’s a case of:
“Eriksen owes us nothing, he’s been honest and can do what he wants and I’ll still suck him off, but only if he goes abroad.
If he joins a rival then all the things I said were incorrect and he’s suddenly a cunt”

So enlighten me. What exactly is it, Eriksen owes you?
Turning up in the biggest game in the clubs history would have been a good start
He owed that to you too but you’re too busy deep throating him to care

Well if nothing else I've learnt a new word today.....twinkering
....now I just have to find out what it means.I think that is quite harsh, just judging him on one game. But if that's your logic, should we then sell all our players?
He's not that big' a fella, so nothing really deep here.
Isn’t it funny that so far I’ve been accused accused of judging him on one season, and now it’s apparently one game
What am I missing here - I don't see the funny part. Don't like you judging players on one game. I know it hasn't been Eriksen's best season, and as far as I remember, you're slating Dele for the same thing. Fair enough.
I believe they'll get back to former strength, and then we've got two world class players. And I do appreciate your wrong opinion.
