Wants to play more and he's future could be away from Madrid
I’ve never heard a player be so explicit about how hard he dislikes the situation. Dare I even say he was so confident this evening that he burnt all bridges with RM.Ahhh so he wants a new contract.
Got it
I got the feeling he already knows where he’s going. Just hope it’s us.I’ve never heard a player be so explicit about how hard he dislikes the situation. Dare I even say he was so confident this evening that he burnt all bridges with RM.
It was like he didn’t give a fuck about all the ‘media training’ footballers get
Get. Him. Home.
Isn’t that where De Boer was playing him when he was at Ajax?I've got a feeling that the Eriksen dinner followed by Poch signing a new contract the next day are not unrelated.
Could be completely wrong, of course, but I reckon Poch might be exploring the idea of converting Eriksen to a CM rather than a CAM to simultaneously help our build up play and allow us to play more of our fast attacking midfielders (/potential new signings) in front of him. It would explain how we're being linked with these fast CAMs, with no indication of a desire to sell Moura, Son, etc.
That way, if/when Dembele goes, we can move Eriksen there and bring in perhaps one top CM to either play alongside him or in place of him.
It'd make us a more devastating side on the counter (in my opinion) while also allowing Eriksen to pull the strings against a parked bus from further back.
