My God, is this actually a thing now? Where United fans question why a Tottenham player would chose to join us?
what the actual feck.In this case it's Pogba's wage demands that they find unacceptable. Nothing to do with a cut-price deal on other teams best players. They might very well still try to do just that though.

When they've been outperforming us for years, just got to the CL final, have the better (or at least more experienced) coach, better players and a shiny new stadium? Yeah sure we still have more money, fantastic history, and better (and more) fans, but that's it. We're a shambles. We've been trying and failing to stop the rot for years. Everything about us is unsure. There's more questions than answers. Yeah I'm questioning why he would join us.

I don't suppose it has anything to do with a Spurs player leaving them to join United, but rather, in United's current state, if said player were to leave Spurs, there'd be significantly more attractive options for Eriksen to entertain than us, if for no other reason than the fact that we're not in the Champions League.
nah, they are garbage. O jogo are the ones that are decent.
From what I've been told it's O Jogo that's the reliable ones and A Bola is more like The Sun. Though I could be wrong as I'm always mixing them up.
Bloody Nations League.
As reliable as the Metro..
This I get.
I don't think so. They already have Delle in his position and not sure, if Bruno is a CM/ RM.
Hasn't Bruno Fernandes recently praised Liverpool and City style of play? I haven't read the interview, but I don't think this is a guy that will be heading to us anytime soon!
Why would he goto Liverpool when they already have Gomez(who is quite brilliant ) coming up ? And he will be paid so huge which will be more than VVD ?
Doesn't add up. But you never know as its Mino we are talking about here.
But..but...but...
Sheesh one VAR step into a CL final and the last decade is forgotten eh
Bruno is 24. Not an young guy anymore. If anything, he will be more scrutinized in Liverpool or City line up.
I am not that desperate on him tbh. If he joins, good. If not, we will have far better options.
Any examples?
That release clause is quite cheap. Probably all of Arsenal's summer budget, but quite doable for us. Posturing for a new deal or would he actually make the step down?
Oh I am calm . I reckon we will sign two from each of those groups merely saying that "Journalists " haven't a clue. we get linked with about 70 players and I think most people will agree that Ed is a little headless . Trust me I much prefer to be linked with the players I mentioned rather than Bale again . United are the press favourite breaking story ( best clickbait) I meant a long summer listening to BS links from the press . ( wont stop me reading them having said that )
It's only June 5th - it's still okay, it's still okay.... isn't it?
Say, Fekir for some fee.
Tbh it's not a giant step down. Atletico are losing too many players to be a sure bet next season. We add him, a good RB and CB and top 4 is basically clinched. His father also seemed to indicate he wasnt happy altogether at Atletico.
Fekir himself comes of the back of a worse season, is older and has genuine injury concerns.
I wouldn't consider that a "far better option"
That serious injury was about an year back. I would take a worse season in France than a great season in Portugal.
When was the last time an attacker directly from Portugese league made an instant impact in epl ?
Amazing that we've won the EL and FA cup. I'm sure those are the prizes Eriksen will be wanting to fight for. Especially since we'll be in the EL again next season. Spurs will be in the CL by the way.
Anyway, here's something for you to think about. Eriksen's first season for Spurs was 13/14. Since then their highest finish was second. Same as ours. Their lowest was 6th, ours 7th and we finished 6th twice. They've done better in the PL than we have.
Spurs: 6,5,3,2,3,4
United: 7,4,5,6,2,6
Spurs avg league finish since 13/14: 3,8 (4)
United avg league finish since 13/14: 5
So in reality, since he's joined Spurs have been better in the league overall and they've gone farther in the CL than we have. They're by far the more stable club by all accounts. They're on a high while we're on a low. Tell me again why would he make the switch to us? Especially if a club like Real Madrid are after him?
Edit: I think that though this discussion was sparked by a transfer tweet we might be taking it too far for this thread. Mods might want to move our little discussion to the Eriksen thread.
Go for it
I didnt mean Fekir was injured. But there must have been serious concerns for Pool to turn him down. I think hes more of a shadow striker anyway unlike Bruno.
The thing is Bruno isn't an attacker. Hes primarily a modern free 8 (the likes of KDB and Silva). Has the ability of a 10 but puts in the duties of an 8. Those goals mostly come from extremely accurate long range shots and free kicks.
A lot of Portuguese league players have come to acclimatise pretty well in the PL. Neves for one.
How much have Spurs won since SAF retired? 0 trophies
How much have United won? 3 trophies
How many times have Spurs qualified for CL since SAF retired? 4 times
Vice versa question for United? 3 times
Spurs highest league position since SAF retired? 2nd
Same for United? 2nd
So outperforming is for years is nonsense in terms of results. Still, they’ve definitely been a better side for a good 3-4 years now, even last season they played better football.
As expected. Really interesting to see where he ends up.
Serie A would seem to be a good fit, if Juve/Napoli/Inter are interested.
