Eriksen. He's had one eye on a move for months. I have a feeling he's going to win this poll!

I see this type of thinking all the time when he plays for England. I don't understand how people can't see how vital he is to the squad. He has also scored some of the most massive goals for us in the past 4 seasons.
He doesn't have the touch of Eriksen of Kane to pick out a pass, but he doesn't have to because he sees the field and finds space better than any Spurs player.
In terms of who the team misses when they are out, for me its Dele, Eriksen, Kane, then Son in that order.
On the basis of ability, it'd be Dele. He's the one whose style of play I enjoy the least.
I'm a big, big Eriksen fan but not happy with his performances at the moment. On top of having to do too much donkey work in that deeper position, I fully believe he doesn't want to be here.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people are doing just that. Dele is also 4 years younger than Eriksen. Not everyone is a cyborg like Modric.
Right now that ship must have sailed for him though...be honest, who bigger than us could he walk into right now? He’s not exactly tearing the league up
It’s all a bit of a myth though.....the fact is, we’d be better off with Fellaini....it won’t take much to improve Eriksen this season
No, he gave a lot of headaches to Liverpool defenders, they looked shaky when he got the ball and started to run at them. Probably our only player who did that.
So most are saying Eriksen... he's fallen off?
Maybe. Or maybe it is easier to play with prime Dembele, Rose and Walker than it is to play in a team that hasn't weakened since and not really strengthened at all overall.
He wouldn't be the first or last player to play better when surrounded with better players. in fact it's quite normal especially as he'd get more space. So if/when he goed abroad and inevitably does awesome things please let's not say he never did it for us or lacked consistency- the club has failed to produce a better environment for him on the pitch.
Eriksen is technically the best or at worst second best player in team, we should never voluntarily sell.

He needs to find his freedom and nastiness next season. I think a top midfielder will give a few of our guys a little more of a liberated feel. This season's been a grind for many but I do want to see him further up the pitch, along with Eriksen if he stays and I do want to see that swagger and freedom to lose the ball trying to make stuff happen return to his game
You didn't, for example, notice his rabona last night?
I definitely think 16/17 when we played with Alli and Eriksen as kind fo duel 10's behind Kane in that 3421, with Wanyama and Dembele as the CM's, Eriksen dropping in sometimes, definitely seemed to get the best out of all of them. Kane 29 goals 7 assists, Eriksen 8 g 15 a, Alli 18 g 7 a. And Son still chipped in with 14 g and 7 a.
Everyone's overall combined output went down last season, Kane's by 5, Eriksen by 3, Alli by 8, Son by 3.
This season only Son and Eriksen are on target to hit similar numbers. Alli is a combined 20 down on 16/17, 10 on last season. Some of that is the time he's missed of course, but even last season he was well down.
Our lack of genuine midfielders has sucked players like Eriksen and Alli backwards into that area and given them different roles and responsibilities. Under those circumstances Eriksen's done remarkably to maintain similar productivity in terms of goals and assists. Something people seem to completely ignore when giving him shit.
If it was assumed all were staying I'd sell Dele. Can't remember seeing him step up in a big game. Seems to dominate lower level opposition only and would command a high fee given hes young and English.
*to many saying Eriksen...must be different and start a cunt off*
KANE!!!
KANE!!!
Dele any day of the week.
The least talented of the 4 and the most overrated player in the squad.

Never said he didn't score kid. Just said he doesn't step up. Goals are great but a lot of games his overall input isn't what I'd like.
You told me yourself you like to re-watch games. Go fucking re-watch it.
I can't explain your POV for you. What did he do that impressed you so much?
Maybe.....I personally feel Dele is on the verge of becoming another “one that never was”.
Needs a massive season next year, because for me he’s living off a four year old reputation
