He long since left us, hasn’t been the same for 18 months at least. Was only in the team in what seemed like past history not performance.
At least now we can move on.

I find it impossible to be gutted about this after the last 18 months, just relieved that it's finally over and both parties can move on. Was way more sad when players like Berbatov, Modric, Bale and van der Vaart left
I find these messages cringeworthy and hollow, full of bullshit PR. I hope Eriksen does not do a message, would actually go up in my estimation.
Wow. Been superb for us. Could be a long time until we find a midfielder to match those stats.
So we shouldn't give a fuck if Kane decided to leave us now? His drop of form would suggest he doesn't care and that he's downed tools.
Kane hasn’t refused to sign a new contract and come out and said he wants a fresh challenge.
Can’t you see the difference?
17 goals in 25 matches for us this season for Kane when he's not on top form yet I have to read that Eriksen is our best player
I just don't understand why ppl are surprised about that, given that Eriksen never asked for/got a new deal

Well this being a forum for stats ppl I'm sure someone will be able to find the ones showing that Kane was better prior the '18 WC. Half of those goals are probably penalties so he's not that impressive anymore. So our best player is the one who scores the most? That seems to favour the strikers
For me it's the nostalgia, some of my best Spurs memories came during the period when he was at the heart of our team. I can't excuse his recent form but I can see past that to a time when he was the fucking tits for us.
Yes whoever scores the most goals is the best player in the world. Of course not, where the fuck did I say that? 17 in 25 is a very good rate for a striker, would put him in the top 5 or 10% of strikers for sure and this is him on a bad season.
It's funny you try to downplay Kane's goals as penalties when nobody mentions how many of Eriksen's goals and assists come from set pieces. Just think about how many set pieces this guy has taken over 250 games or whatever, would be well over 2000. Even if he/we are only converting 2% then you can take 40 goals/assists off his tally.
Stats are fucking pointless. On Saturday it went down in the history books as Son goal, Lamela assist but without GLC there's never even a chance. Yes Kane was better prior to the WC but he's gone from top 3 in the world in his position to maybe top 10% this season. Eriksen has gone from top whatever to pretty much bottom 20%. The contrast in the decline of the two this season compared to previous is so different it's not even comparable.
If Kane had 6 months left on his contract he certainly wouldn't be going to Inter Milan.
As someone born in 91 my nostalgia comes from Woodgate's header, Crouchy's goals vs City and Milan, Bale's demolition of Inter x 2, Moura's hat-trick, Kaboul's header, just to name a few. I get that Eriksen has been the main part of a good team but with him we've won nothing and he certainly hasn't performed on the biggest of stage.
Which goals/assists of his bring you nostalgia? Genuine question.
He dont have any friends....
Yes they're all memories of mine too, but how much have we won in recent years anyway? Most of those memories you've listed haven't resulted in a trophy, doesn't make it any less worthwhile to you though.
For me it's not about his goals or assists (hence why I never mentioned that), it's the experiences I had during Poch's reign to which Eriksen was a key part.
