I had similar number in mind. Guess it's gonna be him or Griezmann.
I like that he's not just creative but strong. Would boost our midfield.
Christian Eriksen
- Thread starter Mes que un club
- Start date

Why do people expect Eriksen to be just as expensive as Coutinho was? I personally believe we could get him for around 80 mil euros + variables (he has only two years left on his current contract, he loves Barca and he has refused to sign a new contract with Tottenham)
Lets hope Tottenham miss out on CL next year, that will only make it easier for us to buy him.

Because we are not in the PL, Levy would likely to sell Eriksen to us than to a PL rival.
-Modric went to Real for 30 million pound in 2012 (contract ran till 2016)
-Bale to Madrid for around 77 million pound in 2013 (contract ran till 2016).
With some factors such as the Neymar inflation, 2 year left on his contract, Levy factor and he is not a household name like Bale and Kane, I think Eriksen would cost around 110-120 million pounds with some variables attached to it. I think Eriksen will lower his wages so that Barca can facilitate the move like Coutinho did.

lol I guess you never heard of Daniel Levy
I am familiar with Levy and his tough negotiating skills, but in regards to Barca, I would make the argument that the skills of Levy bears small weight as we are insanely poor at negotiating as it is. See, Levy made his name by making clubs that usually get their players at a decent price, pay way more than they are used to. We have an "advantage" in being so shit at evaluering player prices, that a high transfer fee almost seems semi-thrifty.

But we have a huge advantage because we have Andre Gomes. Gomes was linked with Tottenham many times, so if we get Eriksen we agree to...keep Gomes so he can't ruin their midfield as well

If he's not in the process of renewing then Levy is going to be put in a hugely difficult situation. Eriksen will have huge offers from top english clubs offering him much higher pay than what he is earning at Spurs and will have to sell his player to a direct competitor, or we could come in and get him which would be favourable for Spurs and Eriksen would get a big wage increase and play at his dream club.
Simply put, if he isn't renewing with Spurs and we don't make a move then we are morons.

Keita, Kante, Pogba, KDB is basically an 8 now, Fabinho (kind of), Rabiot, Nainngolan
There are many more.
I don't think eriksen actually ever plays as an 8. He is always playing further foward just has excellent work rate and playmaking skills so it could work.
Where would he even play? With the promotion of Alena in the summer, to the arrival of Arthur. And with Griezmann joining the already stacked attack with Dembele, Messi and Suarez, I think Coutinho will play the midfield position a lot more. Iniesta's role. Busquets has his role locked in, and so does Rakitic it appears. And who says Denis Suarez will be sold.

Considering how poor our midfield was the last seasons i highly doubt Eriksen is the only player that could improve it.
