You wouldn't be interested in signing any players from Brentford or a similar club then?

Not my point; i'm saying how is has recovered or otherwise from his near-death experience cannot be totally judged on how he played at Brentford. The physical and mental pressure etc playing for them is totally different playing for a club like us
 
Seems stupid buying a #10, when we don't really play a #10. He'll likely just get shoehorned in at RWF (as Kulusevski's cover), and we all saw how well that worked with Lo Celso.

I'm also a bit concerned that he seemed to peak form wise about 4 years ago, and has been on a bit of a decline since then.

He can play deeper if needed

Why are we against having other options as well?

That’s quite some decline he’s on when statistically last season he created around twice the chances any of our players did per 90 minutes….

I think wrt physicality football matches are football matches and training and playing for a PL side shows where he is at in that regard.

That brought a tear to my eye. DESK at their best.

To all those who say never go back, would you have taken Modric back after a couple of years? How about Bale? Carrick? Berbatov? Each case has to be treated on its merits.

Eriksen is 30 and is by all accounts a model professional -- it's not like he's washed up and heading downhill. I can't find any stats for the distance he's been covering for Brentford, but he was one of the hardest-working players in the league when he was at Spurs.

If Eriksen wants to come back, surely there's room in our squad for him? If Conte sticks to a system with two central midfielders, he should be competing with Bentancur for the creative spot.

The older generation of players now are in better shape than they were when they were younger
I’d 100% sign him
But I wouldn’t play him in a 2 man midfield unless we were playing bus parkers

I was about to reply with that, but I think he'll need another season before he's ready. Gil could have a breakthrough season though, but I doubt he'll be moving central just yet -- has he been out on the wing in Spain? With a bit of luck Devine and White will step up as well, but it's going to take a few seasons.

So we've got PEH and Skipp as defensive CMs and (hopefully) Eriksen and Bentacur as attacking options. I do think we need one more solid option, assuming we do manage to get shot of Winks, Ndombele and Lo Celso. Bissouma or Maddison would be a statement signing but I doubt we'd get either.

Still hoping out of the blue we get linked with sms. But looking like McKennie.

People go on about him downing tools but he still scored the goal that secured us top 4 against Brighton and was contributing.

The whole team look like it had, his standards were so high he just looked worse than others.
