This has been covered ad nauseum in his own thread, I'm annoyed at myself in wasting five minutes reading the article and posting a reply. He is done as far as I'm concerned and has been for months. I just wish we could sort out a deal and move on.

You would be encouraging him to play well and feel he has the supporters behind him rather than feeling crap after his reception last Saturday. It is up to the opposition supporters to boo our players not our supporters.
What is a big game player? Bit of a fallacy if you ask me. Titles and trophies are a collaborative effort overall.
Games can be won by moments of individual brilliance. But they nearly always will have a large pinch of luck involved.
Mouras last goal in Amsterdam squirmed its way through the only space it could have gone without taking a deflection from two players.
Agree that he is a complete wet blanket though. Doesn't really have that commanding personality and has fannyed out of challenges since day one.
Ran a lot and reads the game better than anyone in the team bar Kane maybe. My overriding memory will the noticeable drop in our creativity when he wasnt on the pitch.
300 games & 60 odd goals. I think History will, rightly, record him as a decent servant. Nothing more glamorous than that though.
he’ Better than average, but not much more. He’s not Bale nor Modric level, although almost no one is.
in time how he leaves will be forgotten and fans will get sentimental about him, forgetting his shit corners and terrible free kicks and remembering his couple of scored free kicks and that City winner. Similar to how Berbatov is generally not hated now and his lazy play is forgotten too.
Ericksen cost £12m, left for free, won fuck all. Move on.
Agree with all except the last five wordsEriksen is a good player, a good player
he could have been so much better though. He lacks determination, pussies out of tackles and unfortunately thinks he’s better than he is, which is why he’s lingering waiting for an ‘elite team’ to come in for him. He’ll end up at Inter or someone similar and wish he’d renewed with us.
i for one won’t miss his corners, but good luck to him
Whilst he has the shirt on his back he’s one of ours. Once he leaves then I might hope he does badly but not beforeYou would be encouraging him to play well and feel he has the supporters behind him rather than feeling crap after his reception last Saturday.

Better than average, not much more? For three years, any club in the world would have been taken him. Maybe his corners and free kicks weren't always up to snuff...well, then we should have had someone else taking them. Bale and Modric didn't win anything here either.
I'm unaware of any formal offer, but the world knows how Daniel Levy works (Real Madrid as much as anyone), and there were claims in the media as early as 2016 that Real were interested, but put off by the price tag on numerous occasions (at one time, rumored at over £200m). Real were still linked with him last summer, and may have put in an offer of £40m for him, with Levy countering with £80m. It was expected by several media outlets that Real Madrid would offer £60m, and Levy would let him go at that price, but it seems Real never made that final offer.
Barcelona were also rumored as interested in 2017-18, but Spurs were unwilling to sell. I've linked a couple of sources below, but these are by no means the only ones.

By the logic of eriksen not being a big game player because of Tottenham's performance in the CL final, it also means Kane isn't a big game player.
What poppycock
According to this article, he said also that he's playing tomorrow, and maybe on Saturday
