As it's not my money I don't care one bit. However, despite him only having a year left on his contract, I don't think anyone could look badly on us for spending up to £80m - he's world class and from a direct rival.
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.

He can do something that most of our midfield can't do. Turn defense in to attack with one pass instead of safe pass and sideways. Only Pogba can do that when he turns up.
People are actually concerned that one of the best players in the league at 27 years old is in his peak... God forbid we sign a top player in his peak.
The concerning part is that this isn't going to happen.

Id like to see how that would go.
Levy - "we want you to bid for Eriksen"
Woody - "Ok, £10m"
Levy - "we will only accept £80M"
Woody - "£8M"
After Bruno and Dybala i don't want to get excited for this.
I'm all in,think we might get him.
Well not anymore. Maguire is capable and McTominay has shown glimpses that he's capable of doing this on tour.
I read earlier in this thread that his pre-season performances have been of a player who wants out/thought he'd be gone already. What have you made of him?
Maybe in his head he thought he'd be gone from Spurs now and doesn't want to wait a year?
I still dont think this is on btw, just playing devils advocate
Oh we have heard hes sucking like a bitch cause Madrid didn't come calling.
Can we just end the window and stop all of this bollocks now..............
I have watched him numerous times, he's a player I've wanted at the club since before he joined Spurs - I don't think he was at his absolute best last season but that's just the standards he set the year before. It doesn't mean he's on his way down, he just wasn't as good as the season before
He was bloody outstanding at Old Trafford last season.
I would be surprised if it happened but I think it’d be a great signing. He’s a good player, at the right age in terms of immediate impact without needing to replace him in 2 years and he’d weaken a potential rival. Plus he loves hitting the first man from corners, so he’d fit right in.
Oh I meant in football in general not just with us..... I hope anyway.
Paul Scholes was his favorite player

For real? Surely you'd want him gone then?
To be honest you couldn't find a worse example than Alexis, to prove that stars join us not for money
I never said that he didn't join for the money.
Money is the ultimate lure for a professional footballer, we all know that, and United can afford to meet their expectations more than most. Thus we still an attractive proposition for anyone.
That and we're one of the biggest, most supported footbll clubs in the world, with a history few clubs compare to or ever hope to replicate.
Bold prediction (or not depending on your view).
If (and that's a big if) we sign Eriksen, I'm going to wager that we sell Lukaku for more than what we pay for Eriksen.
Shock horror.

The thought is that he's running down his contract and will cash out big time in China next season.
I agree, but Eriksen doesn't have to accept a move.
Do we even have the money? We haven't sild anyone.
Where have you pulled that from? We have shown we pay the most for players in this country. Thing is it will never be enough. We would offer 60-70m, but your guy Levy would demand 160.
Come on people, do we really need more evidence than this?
He's coming.
And so am I.
I'd go the other way and say if we sign Eriksen we'll be even more desperate to sell Lukaku and take a loss on him just to balance the books somewhat
We are not singing him, no chance. Imagine wrapping this deal with 2 days left. And that too when the other club is Spurs.
Obviously it's a done deal. Eriksen will get #18 and Young will get some random number.
Madrid bound on the cheap as soon as they understand that they can't afford Pogba. More chance of Dybala happening!
Young gets a number?
Since we're just handing out numbers to anyone, I'd like one too.

It's possible as I think we'd be selling Darmian as well to probably at least even it out.
Basically it'd be getting Lukaku & Darmian out of our squad to bring Eriksen in on a free (roughly) and probably be on less wages than those two combined as well.
Would be such a big win when you look at it that way.
Levy has been phoning Ed and trying to use reverse psychology.
"Bet you can't bid for Eriksen. You say you can do things in the transfer market that no one else can, but you can't even bid for Eriksen."
@InLevyITrust @SquishyMcSquish @balaks I'm sorry if you guys have been asked this before, but do you genuinely see Spurs selling him to Utd? I reckon there's absolutely no chance of it happening.
Eriksen is number 23 at Spurs aint he?
Sell Lukaku and give Rashford the 9 and Eriksen the 10
”Hold my beer.”
Oh I know. Didn't work though cause we aren't cheapskates like you made out
I was only joking.
No idea, its a very unique situation.
No way are we getting this done in 2 days

Yeah that's his number. Will be Scholes replacement and a worthy player to wear #18.

I thought the general thought was Woody was lowballing this window? I know your still paying A LOT but lower than what was initially asked.
DVD pending....They have just won the Audi Cup, at least get your facts right
That's the only reason I'm prepared to give this a chance.
