The entirety of city’s fan base.
Sir Alex would throw his shoe at Ronaldo before ever considering well wishes for him for joining City
Its a plain bullshit story. It wasn't even a bluetick wanker that tweeted it.
Not a wise move to intentionally miss out on pre season regardless of which club he's choosing.As of 9pm he still hasn’t made or at least confirmed his decision to Brentford on where he is going to end up. Still some time to run on this i think - I mean given what he has been through he May fancy missing out on some of the gruelling early pre-season training

Especially in his situation. At this point it is better if he stays
It shows hes making a careful decision and not basing it on money.
If it was a straight forward choice he would choose Brentford due to them giving him a chance when no one else would.
I expect we'll know between today and Sunday.....he wouldn't want to falling behind his mates fitness wise.
I think this along with de Jong obviously is so so important to transform our footballing identity, to which we have had none these last few years.
A midfielder with fantastic technical ability allowing us to start controlling games and competing with the best sides will be a huge miss IMO if we don’t get him.
How we do this season will be influenced massively by who plays in the middle of the park. Eriksen on a free would be the best but of business we do this summer.
I have huge doubts that McTominay and Fred have the consistency in their technical ability to play the role we need to start controlling games and have more attacking threat consistently to win enough games this year.
It just has too many upsides to not get over the line… I for one will be gutted if this doesn’t happen.

Hope so, would love him at OT, wont be the same circus that followed Pogba around and a proper professional, exactly the type of player we need.
Unnecessary dig at Pogba there for absolutely no reason…….why not just day that you would love him at OT as he’s the type of player we need?
For the same reason that Pogba was not nice to us with his comments lately.
Would he not be due extra time off due to international games? Not sure when the rest of our squad is due back, is it Monday?
So he's a free agent now, correct?
I am sure many thought the same when we paid a world record fee for Pogba. And like the Pogba deal, their success will be dependent on the pieces around them -- and not on them alone.
Would be a good signing for us, because of his playmaking and creative ability, and what we call Ajax DNA. Basically he‘ll slot right in.
He might start games instead of Bruno, or we might see a setup where both can be used.
With FdJ and Eriksen it is going to be a completely different season!

Another bs merchant.
To see that Schira fella still posted in 2022 is baffling.
Speculative yes but was retweeted by one of Di Marzio's team so I posted it here just to keep the spirits up.
How does it show he's not basing it on money? You said yourself that if it's a straightforward choice then he chooses Brentford who would pay him much less. Money will be a good part of it (along with size of club etc) if he chose to come here, let's not kid ourselves.
He's accurate on this, just 1 month late
I'm not sure how it works. On my football games, a player can still decide to stay after the last day of the contract but then just decide to leave the club at any point with a minutes notice. How accurate that is, i'm not sure.
I'm baffled that we haven't heard more about this now though. No reputable journalists have said anything about Eriksen in days.
Eriksen and De Jong is, for us, a minimum requirement for our weak midfield to try to keep up with our rivals. We have already lost Pogba, Matic and Lingard in an area of the pitch where we were already below par and I think it is generally accepted that McFred are not the answer.
My worry is the stalling over the Eriksen deal is the result of other options materialising so it is not a straight United or Brentford choice. So we need a Plan B.
De Jong and Eriksen will undoubtedly keep fans happy, but i do wonder if as a duo they can provide the level of protection for our defence that the much maligned McFred provide. They would appear to me to be more lightweight defensively, although far more creative.
But, and it is big 'but', will we actually get either of them over the line?

Not basing it solely on money, if it was based on just money then it would be decided already and he wouldn't have to think about it.
Tevez/Oscar going to China for example, based on money rather than anything else.
Hes taking his time making a choice as its a difficult decision, Brentford have been brilliant for him and in the same way so has ETH when at Ajax so its a difficult choice.
If it was based on money he would go back to United and ask for more, yes we have offered more than Brentford but thats down to the calibre of player he is and what hes worth and we know we have to offer more to entice him away from London and where he is settled.
Choosing Brentford isnt a straightforward choice, yes they gave him the platform but his end goal is to try and win things.
There's more chance of winning a trophy with United than Brentford.
100% correct, was just a poor example to use as a comparison, still upset at the way he teased all season that he might stay when he knew there was zero chance it was happening and then to say we didnt even make an offer and turn his nose up at 350k a week as nothing.
But do agree Eriksen is the type of player we need.
If we are more proactive and in greater control of play with FDJ and Eriksen then the need for the protection that McFred offer would not be required so much.
McFred we’re seen as critical as we were so reactive and average in possession.
This is why I see these transfers are absolutely critical. We don’t land them and I fear a much more difficult transition for ETH and could see another turbulent season full mediocrity and turmoil on the pitch.
Need both over the line and quickly to embed them in preseason
I’m just guessing, based on what is (or more accurately is NOT) happening with this transfer. I think Eriksen has a potential offer to join a London club but it’s one that is reliant on another transfer happening first. It’s the only reason I can think for the delay- if it was simply a choice between 2 or 3 contract offers sitting on the table then I’d assume he would have made his choice by now. Most clubs have players back in training by now, it seems surprising that he’d miss that without good reason.
There’s actually a tonne of reasons for a delay that don’t involve making up a pie in the sky argument.
Such as, he’s got plenty of offers and is in no rush to decide.
Or… he’s got offers, is awaiting a few more and wants clubs to sweat and therefore possibly even offer more money, or longer contract.
Etc etc etc.
Incredible that we have heard absolute nothing on this
Yeah silence feels not so golden on this one, expect movement once he's certain that De Jong is in the bag. Think that means something from either club, Stone, Romano, Whitwell or Ornstein.
Your scenarios are possible. As is mine. None of them are more ‘pie in the sky’ than any others. I even start by saying ‘I’m just guessing’.
Most of the football world sits and waits for Christian Eriksen to make his decision.
We all want to know where the Danish football star will play on the other side of the summer holidays.
But it may be some time yet before Christian Eriksen announces something. He's certainly not heading back on the training ground.
It tells sources close to Brentford, who know about the process, to Tipsbladet.
In the Premier League club, you do not expect that the 30-year-old Dane train with a football club for at least a week yet.
Brentford also reckon Christian Eriksen will share his decision with the outside world before he starts training again.
This means that the former Tottenham and Inter star does not begin preparations for the new season with Brentford and then change clubs afterwards.
The reason is that the national team star wants to play firmly, and it can be a challenge if he first creates relationships on the pitch with one squad and then has to build some new ones with another.

You said you can’t think of any other reason, and created a bizarre one in, one out scenario with a London club as the only reason why he wouldn’t have made a decision yet.
In reality, we don’t need to make up complicated scenarios, as simply “he’s a free agent, with a few offers and is in no rush to decide” is a plenty good enough reason.
Bullshit source.
As I say, it’s a feasible solution. As is mine.
You must be an absolute blast at parties.
Has got some front after turning us down for Blackburn
You must be a top conspiracy theory blast, the one in the corner, weirding everyone out.
One is made up bollocks, the other is human nature, thinking and pondering over a big life choice, something we do all.
Yep- it’s a conspiracy theory that in football sometimes transfers are dependent on other transfers!
Have a look at your posts and see how you come across when you disagree with what someone else said, it’s embarrassing. There is zero chance you’d act like this in real life, so I guess you have to ask yourself why you’re doing it here, mate.
