in fairness, we still haven't strengthened while all our rivals have which is pretty much what I was saying (although maybe not with enough patience and subtlety)!
I wouldn't worry, i'm sure there will be more planes if he doesn't leave on Friday.
With the way flights are going these days who knows... I mean delays and everything.
Heard him being discussed on Talksport as an underwhelming signing, but I couldn't disagree more. I prefer him to Bruno personally, although I think we'll see both on the pitch the majority of the time with one (probably Bruno) in the front three.
Lots of player “medicals” on their return, you reckon? What happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok
You just got to worry for the first-timers there.
Not good to appear on social media with women whose adam's apple is larger than yours.
Btw they just legalised pot in Thailand too.... ladyboys and pot.... a new ETH beginning.
We need to send in the A-Team to get Eriksen on that damn plane on Friday
Brand new meaning to needs to bulk up for the youth players
Liverpool have not strengthened....Mane has left the club.
Part of their initiations. None of the boring singing on stage malarkey
Haha...out of us and Pool...which club really needs strengthening? Rocket science eh!
It's Talksport for starters!
If he was coming in directly from Tottenham for 60m the hype would be unreal.
A free transfer upsets the media, who on one hand love the big deals, but then spend half their time moaning at the signing not working.
This is a smart almost under the radar type signing.
Any excuse for these so called pundits to have a pop at Utd whilst Goldstein still tries to keep them & MUTV onside.
Bent and Wilshere was a combo I saw the other day.
A pretty bleak combo, Bent especially.
I wonder how few he'd score in these days there's much less space for strikers sprinting onto long balls down the centre.
Yeah I agree. I often respect Danny Murphy's opinion, despite his obvious bias in this case. They were saying that he's at the same level as Mata, which is ridiculous. I guess the media are enjoying the narrative of struggling United's fall from grace, as they always do.
I'm chuffed we've got Eriksen, I think he still has so much to offer.
If you look at the body language and tone of Danny Murphy in the video of his Eriksen take on Talksport, it comes across to me as if he's actually pissed we have got him rather than that he doesn't think he's good enough. I also loved the arrogance about how as a liverpool fan he's not concerned if we buy players of that level etc. I think they are all in for a nasty surprise this season when United become, at the very least, a competent and well-coached team with a clear playing style. It may not win us the league, but we'll likely be well in there contending for 3rd/4th this season IMO and we'll be giving the likes of City and Liverpool way more to think about in our matches with them too.
Which football heavyweight was it this time, Sinclair or Murphy?
Will getting this guy and a DM be enough? FDJ deal looks dead and we're also lacking options at this point.
even though its old and the subtitles are written by a dane..
then I still think everyone should see this short and funny Eriksen interview.

they've signed Nunez, carvalho and calvin ramsey... and may not be finished yet
So you see Carvalho and Ramsey as strengthening the first team?
I had a peek at the Brentford forum when the news broke. Thought they would be grateful for making a huge impact on their season and wish him well, but there was a surprising amount of bitterness.
Not me who thinks this - one of the best managers in the world right now thinks so
They are both young players that may or may not come good. Top prospects. Nunez is the only one they have bought that is a first team starter.
What a daft answer. "Klopp signed them so they must be good".
The greatest manager ever signed Bebe, Kleberson, Manucho, Djemba-Djemba, Miller, Taibi...
He’s the first Dane I know of who turned down a chance to go to Thailand.
Piece on Eriksen in the Guardian.

I will get lampooned for saying this but has always kind of reminded me a bit of Cantona.... not as good obviously, but the way he lofts his passes, his awareness of players running off him, the way he seems slow but has all the time to play his own game.... Eriksen maybe be the player to galvanise our attack the way he did, when you have somebody capable of finding runners, the runners make better runs ..... huh!!! well we certainly have the runners
I had a look too...
money or Brentford. They don’t think maybe he would like to play at old Trafford infront of 76k fans. Or that he’d like to be in the europa, or play with the players we have under Ten Hag. They are taking like money is the only factor and like united are small fry, which isn’t the case.
Is he in medical today?
The biased, bitter little bald fella.
And lost Mane. They've not strengthened at all. Nunez looked good last season but it's the only season he's showed anything, he's a huge risk at that price and I wouldn't expect him to have the same influence as Mane just yet. Liverpool are weaker, no doubt about it. The only major positive for them is tying Salah down to a new contract.
Enough for what?
You're contradicting yourself here. First you say Nunez looked good last season but that he's a risk and you don't expect him to have the same influence as Mane. But he could. So there's your doubt already. Carvalho and Ramsey could be good players too. And if they are, Liverpool could well be stronger. We'll see.
Why does it look dead? Looks entirely normal.
Martinez, Malacia, Eriksen will all be good signings, FdJ will be the main one though and will be the transformative piece we need.
Everyone is under this perception that we will chase a DM. I personally don’t buy into that, I think we will play without one
