Great News Breaking From Hotspur Way

The confirmation that Jan is staying is a massive shot in the arm for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

Jan Vertonghen said:

“I love being here, my family loves it, I love it. I feel great with the fans, great with the manager. He’s been supporting me and making me a better player over the last five or six years. Christian loves it here but I can’t speak for him. I think we’ve got a great club and from what I can see, everyone is happy to be here.”

The inevitable turbulence that will come with the departure of Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose needs to be counterbalanced. Keeping Jan on the books will play a massive part in that.

Whilst I’ve been sceptical about or possible back line, it’s important to remember that Davinson Sanchez is a tremendous asset.

The rumbling over Christian Eriksen continues of course, and as per ITK on this blog, IF a deal be cobbled together then expect that activity to happen very late in this window.

Mauricio Pochettino said:

“I think he is a great player, Christian. One of the biggest talents in football. After five years working with him, I am sure in the way that he plays, and I hope so yes. But you know, there is a lot of interest. I hope yes, but I don’t know what is going to happen with that.”

Metro

The gaffa is quite rightly wording things as diplomatically as possible, but I take a view that the sooner we can shift the Dane and ship in Giovani Lo Celso in, the better for all concerned.

Eriksen’s race at Spurs is run. Sadly he will be remembered as a player that didn’t really bother – in a European Cup Final – which is frankly unforgivable.

It’s no surprise that Levy has ‘re marketed’ the 27-year-old, who is now priced to sell at €70million.

We currently look miles off a challenging squad , it’s same old Tottenham pretending to be a big club.

It was obvious that Eriksen stopped playing for us from Christmas 2018 and previously he always disappeared in the big matches, great though he could be he will never be a top top player and Zidane knows that, if he had followed Jan’s example and given all for us he would be remembered as one of our greats but sadly he will be remembered as one that let us down on the big occasions
I say get what we can for him and say goodbye
His time is over

Make sure you get 2 attacking mids. Cause Erikssen has been the only one for almost 6yrs. Some fans are very ungrateful. He plays too many minutes. Full time starter for country and is hardly substituted out of games he start. Blame the manager and his ridiculous 86th minute subs. What good player want come and get 10 minutes per game on occasions?

Jan & Poch extolling the virtues of Irksome right now smells a little of preparing us for his not necessarily going anywhere.

Great news jan is a warrior… If only erikson had a viking heart to go with his skills. It wasnt just the champs league final he bottled. He went missing in league cup final too against the chavs. And whenever title race turned into squeaky bum time, whenever the pressure was on, whether against the chavs or leicester or even the spam then he folds. Every time. Erikson is what ‘spursy’ is all about.. We have relied on this coaster for far too long

Jan… Yaay, it’s almost like a new signing which is good cos our squad is now thinner than last year FFS! 3 weeks before the season starts & we’ve added 1 player. For the Levy lovers that’s called streamlining. For those of us with brains it’s called sabotage. Get some fookin players bedded in before it’s too late

CE has to go. Jan doesn’t mention anything about signing a new contract. Good luck to Tripps. Ironically, Simeone will replace Poch in a couple of years.

The positive thing about Rose is he is considering staying if no viable offer is made so that is a very good thing. Still baffles me that we are ready to ship Rose unceremoniously through the back door after 12 years, arguably being our best player second half of the season and still has 2-3 years left in him. Shameful!

Juve and PSG want rose. I wonder why?

Oh yeah, he’s one of the few decent left backs around! They will get him for 20 mill too.

While we spend 50 mill on some over rated left sided winger from Fulham with bumfluff on his chin!

Rumoured price for Rose is £20 mill, and we sold Trippier for a similar amount. These do not feel like Levy’s normal over priced valuations. It’s almost as if we are in a hurry to raise money. I am expecting a raft of new arrivals.

Had Eriksson turned up in the champions league final and the last half of the season,then I think he would have been a Madrid player by now. Madrid want winners, players that give everything not players that may or may not turn up for big games. If he stays fine as long as he steps up and doesn’t think he’s too good for us, if he goes then fine again ,either way we need to sign lo selso .
Hope Rose and Toby stay,if they did we would have a very strong squad to challenge for trophies

Jan has been absolutely outstanding. Wish we could keep his mate as well, can’t think of better players for the young lads to learn from.

Need Toby sorted ASAP. We can’t expect much next season with a relatively new defence

Too right .. I’m not sure why this is not being discussed more.

1 game that should mean so much ….
All he had to do was accurately kick the ball over the head of TAA for Sonny to get on to. .. that would have pulled Liverpool’s defense all over the place … probably even have created openings for Kane .

Makes me sick still thinking about it.

So long Eriksen.
