With all due respect feck off
Spurs like it or not are on level footing with someone like Dortmund. You're delusional as feck if you think Spurs are anywhere near comparative to the likes of Juve, Bayern and PSG.
Oh and just to elaborate the here and the now is that Juve are league champions, Bayern are league champions, PSG are league champions whereas Spurs lost 13 games and finished 3rd. For all Spurs so called wealth over Juve where were Spurs when Juve were spending over 100m on Ronaldo? Where were Spurs when Juve were spending over 60m on De Ligt? And as for having a better side than PSG again with all due respect feck off
Would that be the same Dortmund that Spurs dispatched 4 - 0 on aggregate in the CL last season? Or is this some other Dortmund … just like the mythical version of PSG that you appear to believe Spurs are nowhere near?
Who cares about whether or not Juve are league champions in an inferior league in which they face little or no competition? And the same goes for PSG and Bayern … none of whom would be champions if they played in the current Prem. They'd struggle to finish in the top four most like.
Where were Spurs when Juve was spending over £100m on Ronaldo and £60m on de Ligt? We were busy spending £1billion on our new stadium and training centre … and lately spending £64m on NDombele.
As I say, you live in the past. If Spurs come up against any of PSG, Bayern or Juve in this season's CL, they'll be a lot more worried about it than will Spurs.
I'd say you should get checked into the NHS for your delusion - there are long waiting times but you should be used to that as a spurs fan
What are the chances of Christian Eriksen signing for United before the current window shuts?
I mean, of all the world-class attacking mids scattered around Europe, I can think of no one I'd rather have playing for our club more than this guy.
And I don't care his playstyle is not too dissimilar to our very own Paul Pogba
Considering it seems to take Woody and Levy months on a transfer I would say slim
.You know what? I'd take slim
Sounds like Bailly then. I think both are great talents and can still mature in their game, but mentally and composure wise i'm not so sure like you said
A bit optimistic
Would love Eriksen here! Spurs’ second best and second most important player imo. Can’t see it happening though.
Yeah the best defenders defend on their feet not with their ass on the grass.
Why is it so ridiculous? You have many European heavyweights such as AC Milan and Ajax around as well who would not be a current step up. Of course you'd be guaranteed titles at Juve, Bayern and PSG since most of the leagues are unfortunately not as strong as the PL right now which is extremely competitive.
If you look at the quality on the pitch and quality of manager and so on then I don't understand why you think it's so ridiculous that I'd say I see it as a sideways move. Would you consider them heavy favourites if we were to meet in a CL knockout round?

Eriksen would be great but I think we are going to end up with Fernandes (still good CAM).
Just curious... Would you prefer Eriksen over Havertz?
Il be honest here as I try always to be, I love Tottenham I truly do but some players who have done there time with us I have no problem with them wanting to go as long as it rewards our club and and the player involved. If Eriksen does wanna join Real (it’s pretty clear he does), or Juve, or Munich or even PSG I have no problem with that, of course I’d wish that they stay and try to elevate us even further up. The problem we have is we have 2 other clubs who are better placed, to win things with us, United also if they do get their shit together.
I know right
You have the prestige of playing in the classic black and white stripes of Juventus, always competitive in the UCL, always challenging for the league title (more often than not winning it) and living in Italy or you can play in England and finish 3rd or 4th with Spurs. No contest ain't it
Yeah you're right who cares, having the glory of finishing 3rd or 4th with Spurs is easily as big an achievement to look back on once you're retired as winning countless league titles with the likes of Juventus and Bayern Munich
Well ok but having a seriously wealthy owner doesn't mean the club they own is actually wealthy in comparison to other clubs - what defines that is turnover and revenue. Spurs have one of the richest owners in the world also (in top 10 anyway) but it's irrelevant as they don't really spend cash in the club.

It's possible - not sure just how possible but it could happen.
Yeah I can understand wanting to leave, and I don't have a problem with it. There are many reasons he might decide to leave Spurs for any of those clubs, I was only arguing that I don't think there's a clear step up in quality or chance to win the CL. In addition, right now the PL makes so much money that I wouldn't be surprised if the top English clubs might soon be considered better than Bayern, Juve and PSG unless something changes.
This can easily be applied to us at the moment. Heres hoping Ole and Woody can get it right.
As for Eriksen, doubt we are getting him. He is probably plan B for RM if they cannot get Pogba. And if he cannot get a dream move to RM or Barca he will probably get a new Spurs contract on around 200k week.
He may go to Juve or Bayern for trophies and a change of scenery. Juve have already spent big this window on De Ligt. Bayern outside chance.
They might be but you can’t honestly say you can look at Juve or Munich and say they don’t have a massive history, following and prestige that they are steeped in, PSG you could easily argue the same but not to the same levels. I mean if Juve can draw Ronaldo to them they quite clearly have that elite quality about them. As for domestically yes City are the best club in the country but for following and history they are no where close to Liverpool or United, in my opinion of course.
Seriously stop talking about winning the UCL like it's something being at Spurs gives you a genuine shot at, you've reached one UCL final in your history (and you lost) and you speak like it's puts you on level playing field with sides that get there regularly, those same sides that actually win countless trophies domestically as well
Not to mention the UCL is not the be all and end all, maybe it is for players who already have countless domestic honours (like Hazard for example) but for someone like Eriksen who's won nothing since he left Ajax nah, winning some titles with Juventus or Bayern would be like a dream for him
It can but it's entirely irrelevant so yeah thanks for your time
Lose the final in very anticlimatic fashion after making it there by the finest of margins against City and Ajax and suddenly Spurs are the kings of Europe, it's amazing. Real was pretty weak last season, so I guess when you think about it they wouldn't be a step up either.
Imagine this....
Pogba to Madrid for £150m+
Fernandes to United for £60m
Eriksen to United for free next season
I think we can survive a season without Pogba as long as we get a goal scoring midfielder like Fernandes

I agree with everything you said. I didn't mean to imply that there aren't reasons to pick x ahead of Spurs. I was only saying that there are also are reasons to pick Spurs right now, and I don't think it's a clear step up in terms of the quality of players. Right now I'd say that City, Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the 4 clubs I'll have as being clearly a step up in terms of quality.
I'm not claiming Spurs are the kings of Europe though, nor am I saying that the club is better than all those other teams. I am saying that with the current money in the PL alongside recent results both for English clubs and Spurs, I don't currently think it's a step up in quality, and it would be a tight game in a knock out tie with no clear favourite.
If he's willing to come here, we should move heaven and earth. We have only one creative midfielder. The other is an 18 year old.
This thread is filling with mindless troll posts with zero discussion on Eriksen.
Kind of expected on here I guess.
He's the premier league midfielder on the top of my wish list. If we want top 4 or better, signing proven premer league quality is key. We can afford it.
I agree, think he would be great.
Don't see Levy going for it when he can sell him abroad. Even if he takes a loss on the sale over what we will offer. And also the elephant in the room of no CL football.
So is this a goer or not?
Have there been any new rumors linking him to us?
I don't think no CL football for a season will be a big deal. I think we all understimate how big it is to actually play for United.
No. Instead of finishing 4th-6th, we will finish 8th-10th if Pogba isn't here. You are thinking too highly of Bruno especially this will be his first season in the Prem if he comes
There's been no viable link to Eriksen there's much uncertainty around our current transition, I think Solskjaer needs a successful season before he's able to attract a certain calibre of player.
I certainly don't think Tottenham are dramatically a power house in English football just yet, that's not bias either I'd rather spurs win the league than City / Pool / Arsenal, I think last season they edged a top four finish but were brilliant in the champions league which provided a better perspective over the objectivity of their season.
I cannot see Eriksen renewing his contract, it doesn't make sense financially and he's coming to the last few years of his career. Additionally, I cannot see why Eriksen would join us especially at this current moment in time. His best option is to run his contract down maybe look at City (Silva replacement) / PSG or Bayern. It's clear Madrid don't fancy him given Pogba is available at a price.

Whats with our fans wanting to sell Pogba? Genuinely seems puzzling. I'm not in the doom and gloom camp where if we lose Pogba we'll no longer challenge for top 4, but losing him would absolutely make us a worse team and he cannot be replaced by even 3 world class players. He's genuinely a generational talent and people are ok with losing him for the likes of Eriksen or Bruno .
.What money? Are Spurs outspending Juventus, PSG or Bayern? Do they offer better wages? What recent results? Last season Spurs had a good CL run, no one says otherwise, but before that one ro16 exit and a couple of early EL exits? In the 5 year club ranking Spurs are 17th.
If Spurs continue to do well over the next years then things can change, sure. But right now it's still delusional to think that players wouldn't consider these clubs a step up.
I notice you didn't answer my question about Dortmund … but no surprise there.
As I've said, Juve, PSG and Bayern would not be winning league titles in the current Prem - they'd struggle to finish in the top 4. So yes, who cares about them being the dominant teams in more or less one-horse leagues? They're just a sideways step from Spurs, one that I doubt much interests Eriksen.
And as I've also already said, if Spurs come up against any of PSG, Bayern or Juve in this season's CL, they'll be a lot more worried about it than will Spurs.
No. It never has been.
There's never been a single remotely reliable paper/journalist linking Eriksen to Manchester United, or any kind of information which suggests he wants a move to you.
It's purely United fan wanting him/inventing scenarios where he might join you.
In terms of level of attracting players yes Spurs are comparable to someone like Dortmund. Stop focusing on head to head results as if that influences where one club ranks as desirability against another. Spurs lost to Burnley last season using your logic I guess Burnley are more desirable than Spurs?
As for the second part if Eriksen were to believe that finishing 3rd or 4th with Spurs brings the same amount of glory as winning league titles with Juve or Bayern then he'd be as much as a fecking idiot as you
