Superb player with just a year left on his contract. What do we think is a reasonable price?
Christian Eriksen | Signs for Inter
- Thread starter United Pro
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Not gonna happen.
A champions league place is much more lucrative to Spurs than any fee we'd be prepared to pay for Eriksen.

HE HAS ONE YEAR LEFT IN HIS CONTRACT!
£130M, sod off!

130m pricetag for 1 year left contract? What are Spurs smoking? 
What source do you want mate? Di Marzio? He ain’t knowing much this year
Plus, what's all this "United aren't sure whether Pogba will be here at the start of the season"???
He has a contract with us. Where's the uncertainty?? The ball is very much in our court in that regard.

Balls placed firmly on the table.
They gonna get smashed I fear. Cant see this one happening.
Don't get hooked by this lads, it'll only end in heartbreak.
Our transfer window closing early is super dumb. Puts the English at a big disadvantage. Europe will just wait for the PL money to leave the market then low ball everyone.
I think Levy would rather take £50m from Atleti or Juve than take £60-70m from us.
Just can't see it. At least we're trying to get something done, even if it appears to be so scattergun. We need more.

I think its going to be a worrying period for spurs and united if nothing happens before the UK transfer deadline time because there will still be interest from Europe for Erikson and Pogba but with no possibility to replace them... id also (unfortunately) concede that spurs are probably better able to cope without Erikson than us without pogba as its always been dificult to get him and ali in the same team without one playing out of position and they have ndombele who has strengthened their midfield as well as winks how developed a lot last season.
Id love to see
Martial.........Rashford.......Greenwood
..........Pogba............Erikson............
...................Matic?........................
ok so we need a matic upgrade as well but Pogba and Erikson would be great though I think if we do get Erikson its indicative that we will loose Pogba

I saw Erikson many times last season. I moved to London recently and my work colleague is a spurs fan, so I went to Wembley quite a bit. Let me tell you, he's not the player he once was, he was really sluggish and lost the ball quite a lot. He hardly ran and mostly jogged around waiting for the ball to come to him, and when it did come he was brushed off it quite easily like Mata. I think he would be quite a frustrating player if he were to come to United.
Just my observation from seeing him in live matches, not just the televised matches that most people here would have seen him. Interesting to see what Spurs fans make of his performances last season?

Surely there can't be more than a hopeful 10% of posters who believe this is likely?
Why get invested in the Eriksen fairy tale?

He needs a new challenge. His heart ain’t in London anymore
Hazard went for a hundred and he had 1 year left. Granted, he's great. But 130M is what I'd expect from Levy selling Eriksen to United. They still feel hard done by Carrick/Berba.
Pogba will not leave this summer, Real can't afford what United are demanding this summer.
Swap Matic with McSauce, though I do agree we need better quality in the DM role. We won't get it this window probably a position to improve next summer.
At least something to keep the muppet mode on for next 2 days.
Prediction: Levy will purposely waste our time letting us think we have a chance of signing him, then pull out last min leaving us with nothing. No way in hell is he selling to us.
Premier league managers signed that off
Windows over. We start shopping at Spurs when we're pretending to buy someone.
It's all posturing.

Can’t do this to myself. Dream signing
Heck add another 10M on top of it.
Apart from Madrid don't see these clubs paying. They'll just wait to sign him on a precontract in January.
Do this and keep Pogba. I’ll go as far to say we’ll win the league.
But
A) We won’t sign Eriksen
B) The article says we’ll effectively only sign Eriksen as a Pogba replacement

I can't see this happening as he will have so many clubs after him next summer, and on top he can get much better personal package.
If we managed to get him for cir £60m then I'd be happy to offload Pogba for £120-130m, I can't believe Erikson is just a year older but his all round game is a lot more mature in comparison, and he'd give a better balance to the team - unlike Pogba.

If he worths 80m, pay 80m, no matter how many years left on his contract. Just get him
Only reason Levy would sell is if he needs funds straight away for Lo Celso or Bruno...
Surely Spurs would just sell him in January? Can't understand why they'd let him go now if he dosen't get a move to Real Madrid.
They'd end up getting a lot less in January when he is free to negotiate with foreign clubs and move for free in the summer.
If Spurs want money for him then it is now or never.
Hazard is a top 5 player in the world. Eriksen is great but nowhere near that calibre. They'll be lucky to get 50m with 1 year.
130m pricetag for 1 year left contract? What are Spurs smoking?
How much was Hazard? And that excludes Levy tax... and how fat Hazard got.
That said, 130 Bar is ridiculous.
Also as crap as we have been I am sure levy sees the danger in letting us have Erikson. We could probably close the gap between ourselves and Spurs with a midfield that has Pogba and Erikson
No one is going to be desperate enough to pay money for him in January just to have the privilege of him for the final 4 months of the season. It's now, never (if he signs a new contract) or next summer
You really think Levy sees it that way? Leicester have forced us to pay out 80m for Maguire all the while knowing he's not as good as VVD
"Cocked and loaded"
I agree. But I really really really don't think they want to sell him to a rival. If we're even still considered to be a rival. It would be a BIG problem for Spurs if they are still being picked off by a club lower than them on the table and historically known for buying their players. Spurs used to be (erroneously) considered to be a bit of a feeder club for us.
90M and we can talk.
