Always has a soft spot for Lothar Matthäus, he was absolutely one of the inspirational footballers his generation.
In the early 80s I was a Spurs fan living a short bike ride from the Borussia Mönchengladbach stadium; it felt like there was a German version of Perryman playing just up the road.
Matthäus was also a winner. That was the metric then, and that remains the metric now. Matthäus is a legend.
It turns out that Christian Eriksen has been on the radar of Bayern Munich for some time – as outlined in this recent Harry Hotspur blog.
It also turns out that Lothar Matthäus doesn’t rate the Dane – and I’d argue – rightly so. Eriksen is not a legend.
Matthäus spoke in no uncertain terms to Sport1, and Matthäus spoke the truth.
Eriksen has been abysmal for Spurs since he decided that he wanted to be a Real Madrid player, making himself largely unworthy of a transfer to anyone good.
The jig is up for our number 23, and the sooner he slopes off and out of Haringey the better.
