Christian Eriksen

[Raketa10]

I don't believe we'll sign him this summer, we should focus on Thiago who is available and to be fair he has the exact profile we really need.

Levy wants 150 million probably so no thanks.

Get Thiago for half the price if you want a plug in play midfielder.

Yes but Thiago will also play only half the matches that Eriksen would. Quick maths.

Give them Rafinha or Gomes and it'll not be far from the 100m we'd pay for Griezmann. We lower the fee and we get rid of some dead weight. We get a player we want, Gomes/Rafinha get to leave which is what they want and Tottenham gets a player they are interested in. Win/win/win situation.

It all depends on what we can get for Rafinha and Gomes. Gomes is likely to be loaned out, while Rafinha might get sold, but for what? Player swaps basically never happens so forget about that.

In what position will Eriksen play? Can you please elaborate? We have a HUGE problem with CM players so let's buy another AM player which we don't need. Makes sense...NOT!
I am not against bringing Eriksen to the club but his signing has nothing to do with our CM problem so Thiago should be our top priority before we turn to Eriksen.

Thiago is the profile needed, coutinho fulfils eriksens role. Unless the plan is to use coutinho on the wings.

So what? Doesnt hurt to try. Big transfers such as Coutinho to Barcelona in winter transfer window also basically never happens and yet it does every now and then. If they really are interested in Rafinha and Gomes it is very possible that such a transfer can happen.

If they are interested in any of those players, they will simply buy them and we get money, with no effect on any other transfer.

Or they spend 0 on the player they want, get loads of money and wont need to worry about selling Eriksen for half the price next summer.

The "loads of money" is simply reduced by the value of the player they get. If Rafinha is valued at 30m in this transfer, they will get 30m less cash. If they want him, they'll just pay those 30m.

So there is no difference. Maybe even Barca will prefer to sell to another club.

Im still totally sure that it is easier to reach a deal when both clubs have a player the other club wants than it would be if only Barca were interested in one of their players.

Not really. Thats why these player swaps almost never happen. Far too complicated and too many players and agents involved.

I do agree with you, that was just a joke about Thiago's fragility on my part. Eriksen is not a CM.

 

[BarçaBarça]

He will cost 100-150M - are we ready to pay that? I don't think so.
