Not sure about him being better than Inigo

Think Christensen would execute Flick's offside trap really well.
Danish NT manager have many times highlighted him as a very clever player and a leader on the pitch due to his tactical understanding. He's equally good on the ball compared to Inigo and faster when needed.
His strength has always been positioning rather than direct duels and such.
Hopefully he sorts out his Achilles problems for good now. Tendinopathies can be really difficult to manage, hope our medical team knows what they're doing.

Half of the players aren't fit, but they're still here...
But this can all change anytime.

Fucking hate buying injury prone players. It's stupidity. Even more so for a financial mess like us. u spend money to bring a player to keep paying him.. and for what ? Nothing

Don't know why people are surprised.
AC is good but doesn't help us much if he's hardly ever fully fit. Also only has 18 months left on the contract so have to make a decision either to sell or renew which I wouldn't do with his injury history.
I don't know how Tah would do here but he has not missed a game due to injury for years (now watch him tore his ACL in first training if we sign him, lol).
Also not sure if we'll be able to sign him in January but maybe Leverkusen will prefer to get at least something and sell him to us rather than lose him for nothing to Bayern. But ofc in the end it all depends on where Tah wants to play.

They likely would rather do that also because they wouldn't wanna strengthen a direct domestic rival.

Tbf BL clubs usually have no problems giving away their best players to Bayern.
Ofc as said in the end players always decide where they want to go. Clubs should work to prevent coming into situation where their key players only have a year left on their contracts but that's easier said than done. But when in this situation clubs are pretty much powerless. If he wants to go to Bayern he'll go there (ofc assuming they are still interested as they were in summer). Maybe they've just accepted their fate, will get what they can out of him this season and then let him leave. He's played every minute so far and that's why I also find it unlikely they will sell in January.

Yeah I agree with all that mate. And they do tend to sell/give away to Bayern pretty easily. It's similar to how Man United used to poach other English clubs' best players in the 90s and 2000s, when they were the premier club.

Honestly it would be an kind of an unnecessary transfer to get another old CB, Eric isn't bad as CB, but much younger. He was really good at Girona which seems to be forgotten after that pivot nonsense.
The bigger problem is getting some of the non-performers sold.
I think most of those German links are just made up, because I don't see how they would actually improve the team.

1) Hardly ever fit??
His longest injury so far in his career has been this one.
1 month absent in total in 23/24, 2 months absent in total in 22/23
2) Tah is a level or two below Christensen. Good passing ability, but can't read the game defensively like Andreas.
fbref.com
Same passing %, but Andreas has:
more xG+xA per 90 min
more sCA per 90
more Tackles won per 90
more interception per 90
more blocks per 90
No comparison between them really
3) contract is another story. We can offer him a new one, since in 18 months Lewy and Frenkie who are the biggest wage burdens won't be here anymore
In any serious squad planning, you don't sell Christensen to keep Inigo, no matter how good he has been this season.
Inigo was an emergency solution this period, and will be gone soon due to age
when Araujo is fit or when we buy a proper RB he will be behind 2 or 3 other CBs in the pecking order
