well that too, because no one would ever pay what Levy would want for him. to be fair, I dont know any top teams that may come from him. Perhaps AC Milan, Inter Milan and the like, but I think he'd rather stay here personally.

Eriksen probably wont be here next season so it wont be an issue.

Just so we're clear about this. You're saying that you think it's more likely that Eriksen will leave this summer than it is that he will stay?

I disagree. Don't think he's done enough over enough time for the clubs that are willing to pay what we'll be asking to come in for him this summer. If I was a betting man I would happily take an even money bet that he's staying.

Clubs/scouts see something in Eriksen that makes them doubt ... the reason we got him.

Another season of 10+ goals from midfield and continued set piece threat and a few will come calling. I do believe we have at least one more season with him ..

Yes I think there is a good chance of him leaving and I think plenty of clubs around Europe would be interested in a goal scoring midfielder and set piece specialist with a knack of scoring late goals. Wether they would meet our price is another matter, but history shows that if a player wants to leave they usually do, sooner rather then later.

The worry is that he was our best player last season, yet he has clearly regressed this season. His goals have masked a clear decline in overal play from last season. If that is his fault or Poch's fault remains to be seen.

Like you say, best player last season and regressed this season - pretty much the same story as Vertonghen which is why his links with the likes of Barcelona haven't materialised. He will have to be performing consistently at the top level for a couple of years before one of the real big boys will come in for him, a few CL clubs might be interested but IMO its only the top select few that could really bully Levy into selling...
 
many players have regressed not just eriksen...maybe its a question of fit, that poch's system requires a different type of player set than the one we bought in the last two seasons
 
People think Eriksen has regressed? wow .. disagree completely.

He is out of form recently, but the Eriksen around Christmas was a step up from last season easily.

Eriksen has always gone missing in big games and been very inconsistent. He's also generally been poor on an international stage.

He's getting better/more consistent (though has been dreadful this past month), but he needs a good 2-3 more seasons before he'll be prime for a move to a Real/Barca/Bayern size club.
 
in danger of being over hyped at this rate - knowing this place he'll be being hung out to dry this time next season :D

This time? He's got preseason to take the place from whoever is left of Lamela and Townsend or it's the end for him.

I find that interesting because Lamela and Townsend are normally deployed on the right flank but from what I have seen of Pritchard there seems nothing to indicate he is a right winger although he does appear to be right footed. Personally I see the lad more of an attacking central midfield player

I asked you directly: Do you think it's more likely that he leaves than that he stays?

I don't quite get how thinking that he will leave matches up with thinking that he's regressed this season? I think he's stepped up a level this season personally.

The few times I've seen Brentford he's been on the right. He can play either side, I just assume our right side is more up for grabs than our left.
