Ramsey is back in starting XI, Costa is back (his injuries concern everyone) and Juve often plays the trinident. If we play 4-3-1-2 then we have Ramsey, Costa, Dybala, Berna fighting for one spot, getting Eriksen (it will take months to get ready for new league and new tactics) and we dont know if he will be able to become a starter. Juve needs a b2b (Vidal type of player). At this point getting Eriksen makes no sense having 4 players on high wages fighting for one spot and Sarri is not planning to use Berna or Ramsey in midfield (at least he hasnt used them so far despite Khedira, Can, and Matuidi not being in great).
Id prefer for Juve to get a b2b or RB rather Trequartista like Eriksen.

worrying is a harsh word probably, let's say it might be something to think about. so he said kulusevski was sold because it's hard to get any playtime over the current players at atalanta. it's a rare kind of remark from a coach, they are usually much more diplomatic than this, especially when it comes to a young player just sold for a record fee. i never saw a coach saying "the money was too good, we won't miss him anyway". again, i might be wrong, but that's what i read between the lines. also, while ilicic and gomez are certainly considered as two of the best attacking players in the league, both are like 31-32 and are regularly rested for league games.

Against Parma they fielded the following players in midfield: Hateboer, de Roon, Freuler and Gosens. I would say it's very debatable if Kulusevski is inferior to any of them. Not to mention he's just 19.

First of all, Eriksen has not been outstanding for 1.5 year now. Even last season, when Spurs got to the CL final, neither the club nor the Dane have been outstanding. Mind you Tottenham in 13 CL games won only six while lost five and drew two! They barely beat Inter on goal difference in the group stage. In the league they finished behind Sarri's Chelsea and 26(!) points behind second placed Liverpool!
Speaking of Eriksen being a bargain at 20-35mln transfer fee. Why no club bought him last summer when it was the last chance for Spurs to cash in on him? From the top of my head, Tottenham paid 70mln+ for another midfielder - Ndombele. If Eriksen is so great why no club offered 70-80mln for him?
Nobody is going to pay for Eriksen now because it's simply not worth it.

Moving to the subject of Eriksen to Inter. First of all, I don't see the point in this move from the sporting perspective. The Dane wanted to leave Spurs to compete for trophies. Inter was eliminated in CL group stage for the second year in a row. Currently, Spurs have better players than Inter, no doubt. Plus, their spending power is not inferior to Inter's so I don't see Inter getting better than Spurs anytime soon.
Secondly, the salary. Eriksen will definitely ask for a high salary coming as a free agent. He currently gets 2.3 mln euro net. Since Ramsey and Can got 7m and 5m respectively at Juve, I can see Eriksen asking for 9-10 considering he has a higher market value than both mentioned players coming from EPL recently.
Average salary at Inter is 2.38mln so giving Eriksen 10m would quadruple the average. Average salary at Juve is 4.5mln (excluding Ronaldo for obvious reasons). Consequently, Eriksen doesn't fit Inter wage structure.

To sum up, I think Inter is seriously considered as a destination for Eriksen because there are not many clubs willing to fulfill his wage demands. Nerazzurri would have to offer him 10mln to convince him to join an inferior club which would damage their wage structure. Let's see what happens because making an offer to the player doesn't mean he's going to accept. Plus, Eriksen has not been at his best for almost two years now so maybe that's why we are not interested in him.

It makes perfect sense because Eriksen is better then ALL of them.

Having a meltdown about inda signing Vidal and eriksen. Reality - ashley young, giroud and kessie

Forgot Jabroni suprême Darmian.

 

[s4tch]

...If we play 4-3-1-2 then we have Ramsey, Costa, Dybala, Berna fighting for one spot...

that's one of our main issues this season: we have quantity, but not quality for that position. ramsey is rarely available and lacks match fitness, same for costa and he rarely played in the middle of the pitch, berna is having by far the worst season of his not so illustrious career, and dybala is wasted the moment you move him away from the opposition goal.

as osman said, eriksen would make perfect sense for 4-3-1-2 (or 3-4-1-2 for that matter; sarri would never try that anyway). eriksen's born to play in the hole.

 

[Hust]

Ramsey took Eriksen's place and that's the reality.

Another fact is we have Ramsey on 7m net while Eriksen will get 10-12m. That's a huge difference.

12 assists last year. He wants out bc Vertonghen fucked his wife so this year has been terrible for the team and for him. Hes a top players. Top in assists the last 5 years I believe and last year he did have a good year. I would be surprised if Inter get him but I do agree Inter are more desperate so they will pay more to make a push back to the top and this is the best option thy could have in a long time. Dont act like Eriksen isnt a baller though because he absolutely is. Is he a speed winger that breaks down defenses? NO and maybe we want someone more dynamic. Maybe we just would rather wait until the summer and get him for free

Eriksen hasn't been outstanding for 1.5 years?

Our entire midfield has been garbage for almost half a decade, including everyone's favorite moody inconsistent Balkan Pjanic. Eriksen is better, significantly better, than Mediocre Matuidi, Passive Pjanic, Slothful Sami, Cantankerous Can, Recalcitrant Rabiot, Blatantly Bad Burnturdeski, and Brutish Bentancur.

I see no issue with getting Eriksen while playing the trident formation. Ramsey is ok but not great and can play as RCM, Costa is a winger and needs open space to run, Dybala can also play at RS and as we have 3 strikers, playing all of them with 0 backup for strikers is kinda risky, tho I liked how it worked for us while Berna should rather fight to find a new club. Getting Eriksen for 20-30M is a steal even if on quite high wages.

Massively agree that we need a proper B2B with tons of grinta, but I wouldn't pass on getting Eriksen in the winter. We should offload Can, Berna, Rugani and we already offloaded Mandzu and north korean Cr7...financially this could be done.

 

[Hust]

We won't get him.

I'm so triggered right now. Trying to hold it together.

Freebies has been our bread and butter for years. wtf.

 

[s4tch]

...He wants out bc Vertonghen fucked his wife...

wow

 

[edgardavids2608]

If we did want him we would have to heavily llok at our midfield numbers though and who is playing where. Can Ramsey or Berna play mezzala? Keep costa knowing Ronsldo shouldnt play everygame in the future to be on his best? Khedira out! Can? Matuidi?

We have that new kid coming in so we would have Costa,Berna, Kulu,Ramsey. For one or maybe 2 positions. Thats before adding anyone else

 

[JCK]

It makes perfect sense because Eriksen is better then ALL of them.

Seriosuly though, it's been silly for quite a while when the excuses to convince oneself about missing out on a player start to be presented as if it is a the logical answer.

The 45m half season wonder?

 

[edgardavids2608]

The 45m half season wonder?

Yeah.

 

[Hust]

Everyone needs to friggin relax.

We have an inbound Kulu coming for 45m (not to worry because its "spread out over 4 years"). We have the 2nd coming of Nintendo who will fully develop into a WC youngster by the start of next season.

Dontcha know we are revolutionizing our youth setup?

Personally, I can't wait to unleash Cotter to terrorize Seria A defenses by the year 2023 at the earliest.

Eriksen you ask? That would ruin EVERYTHING we are working for.

What I'm saying is...we need to keep Sami alive long enough to guide our midfield until our youth are developed.
