As great as Kane is, you could make the argument Eriksen is actually more important. Sure Kane grabs all the headlines but we do OK when when he's out..... We are shlte without Eriksen (which thankfully isn't often)
I think Eriksen deserves 200K a week and I suspect he'd sign it if he was offered it
I thought Kane was on £150k a week. Show me a source that says he earns more than that. He is on a large bonus for goals and appearances but I'm sure his basic is £150k a week.

That was the first thing I googled up
Never heard of that site so I'll just have to assume it is reliable until I hear otherwise.
Firstly, The Sun
Secondly, Eriksen is worth more than £150k a week in this market but dont agree that he is more important than Kane.
Look at the top sides all hunting around for a world class striker....all the top strikers are getting on a bit now - Aguero, Higuain, Benzema, Lewandowski, Suarez, Cavani, Ronaldo. It is very difficult to pick out a striker of Kanes age who is anywhere near his quality & goalscoring record.
Right now Kane is almost irreplaceable. I wouldnt say the same for Eriksen, although that is not to say he is top class!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet there are reports that we are willing to offer N'Dombele the same as Kane or £200k a week?
We've had players who are genuine talents and have pushed the club into the top 4 and as a bonus got the club to a CL final for the first time, and yet they are not offered anywhere near what a new comer is being offered?
It's all speculations but there is no smoke without fire.
Firstly, The Sun

Of course, substitute The sun with any media outlet you want

Love how defensive people get about players salaries
99% of the information out there is speculation
"reports we'll offer NDombele £200k a week"
Stop and think for a minute....we wont offer Eriksen more than £150k but will offer a 22 year old with a limited CV and bags of potential £200k a week.
How likely do you think that is? Is this not where one engages one's brain and decides not to believe all the reports we read in papers and websites that are purely trying to make a story and sell papers and get clicks.
Stop and think for a minute....we wont offer Eriksen more than £150k but will offer a 22 year old with a limited CV and bags of potential £200k a week.
===========
Yes, I know that;s why these are just speculations
The demise of Wanyama and Dier in their forms, and the departure of Dembele has left us with a massive hole in the midfield.
The emergence of Sissoko has papered over some of the cracks, but the option to have N'Dombele is huge for us
Unless you have a concrete evidence to the contrary, you're speculating as much as everyone else, I am afraid
With Eriksen, now the question is after he made it clear of his wish to look for new challenge elsewhere, would you forgive him and welcome him back if Eriksen was offered a deal that he is happy with and signed it, and decided to stay?

For sure we need someone like NDombele. Hope we get him.
But you have to have been living under a rock to think that Levy would offer the lad £200k a week...more than his world cup winning captain and compatriot Lloris, as much as club icon Kane.
Sure, i'm guessing here that we're not offering him £200k a wk. Think im on pretty solid ground though having regard to how the club is run by Levy. On this basis i'd trust my informed opinion and instinct over what's printed in the Sun.

Yep, agree with the gist of it but of course, only time will tell.
About Levy, I know he is a fan too. Few years back I sent him an email after criticising him in one of my blogs, I believe in relation to Juande Ramos or Christain Gross, can't remember and I did get a reply from him, not his PA. In it, I recall he said that he is also a club fan and wants the best for the club and he will resolve the matter urgently.
However, negoiations involve the player, his agent and the clubs. Not just Levy. If N'Dombele wanted to move but only at £200k a week, is Levy going to say no?
Ask yourself, would Levy risk losing Poch if he scappers the deal to get poch's no1 target?
Again, I am just speculating...
This it the type of transfer approach where everyone gets restless and then we are eventually relieved at the very least of a new signing.. despite it not being NDombele, Lo Celso or any of Poch's top targets.

I'd like to think that Poch and Levy are on the same page, that as much as potential Ndombele has, he is not worth being the clubs top earner, which would of course cause huge ructions amongst other senior players. Rose on his £70k a week would spit the dummy!
If it was £200k a week, take it or leave it i think Poch would accept that it isnt workable and we'd look else where. Gotta wonder who'd pay NDombele that amount.
Take our Sanchez for example. A player who wasnt cheap but got a new contract after impressing in year 1. That's how we've always rolled. Not only does it keep a tight control on wages, it also incentivises the players, keeps extending their deal so you avoid the Eriksen situation and rewards success. Alli's on his 3rd or 4th new deal since arriving, hasnt had a carp season while taking home £200k and hasnt earned a new deal.
It's a good model for a well run club with limited finances. teams like City can just offer whatever and if the player flops, like Mangala or Mendy etc, they can just soak up the wages and not even have to sell the player to balance the books.
Am I in the minority when I say I am not that bothered if Eriksen goes ?
I mean this is a player who has not scored from a free kick in years, even though we keep being told he is a dead ball specialist. He can't even clear the first defender when taking corners, and in many games last year it appeared quite clear he did not want to be there.
Surely if we can get some obscene fee for him, then let him go and invest in a player (s) that will do these things and move us forward.
To me Eriksen, like most players after 6 years, looks tired of Spurs, and fresh legs/mind/enthusiasm is now needed.

Not alone. I almost feel like we need some new blood as he seemed a bit stale.
Having said that though he is heavily relied on so being able to rest him better in future could see less seasons like this when he seemed way off his best at times.
As for his stats, he scores and assists at the same rate as David Silva and he works his socks off so not sure we can be too critical of his end product despite his poor return of FKs of late.
I'm no Eriksen super fan and not fussed if he stays or goes but he scored a from a free kick in the last league game against Everton.
Sure did. Felt v much like his last kick for Spurs.

What you tend to find with some posters on here is that if a 3 legged donkey played for Spurs they would get their unequivocal support. If you scroll down to the Eriksen article from a few days there were actually Spurs fans saying he'd had a good season!!?
The truth is that in the real world alot of our fans are fed up to the back teeth of him showing occasional glimpses of what he can do then disappearing for 5 games. If he comes back with the right attitude I would give him a chance to redeem himself but if he doesn't want to be at Spurs he's the type who will sulk like a 3 year old child whos lost his crayons.
If he stays lets hope he's been on a corner taking course during the summer.

================
In reality though, Eriksen hasn't shown anything remotely to what he can do, and we all know what he can just recall two seasons prior over the whole of last season.
Other than two games in which he turned up, nothing to shout about really
Sadly for Eriksen, he had an awful season, too awful to be in a position of strength.

Not his best but I think 'awful' is going a bit far. He was out of position in the pivot for a decent chunk of it.

Ask yourself, would Levy risk losing Poch if he scappers the deal to get poch's no1 target?
Again, I am just speculating...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to think that Poch and Levy are on the same page, that as much as potential Ndombele has, he is not worth being the clubs top earner, which would of course cause huge ructions amongst other senior players. Rose on his £70k a week would spit the dummy!
If it was £200k a week, take it or leave it i think Poch would accept that it isnt workable and we'd look else where. Gotta wonder who'd pay NDombele that amount.
Take our Sanchez for example. A player who wasnt cheap but got a new contract after impressing in year 1. That's how we've always rolled. Not only does it keep a tight control on wages, it also incentivises the players, keeps extending their deal so you avoid the Eriksen situation and rewards success. Alli's on his 3rd or 4th new deal since arriving, hasnt had a carp season while taking home £200k and hasnt earned a new deal.
It's a good model for a well run club with limited finances. teams like City can just offer whatever and if the player flops, like Mangala or Mendy etc, they can just soak up the wages and not even have to sell the player to balance the books.

Am I in the minority when I say I am not that bothered if Eriksen goes ?
I mean this is a player who has not scored from a free kick in years, even though we keep being told he is a dead ball specialist. He can't even clear the first defender when taking corners, and in many games last year it appeared quite clear he did not want to be there.
Surely if we can get some obscene fee for him, then let him go and invest in a player (s) that will do these things and move us forward.
To me Eriksen, like most players after 6 years, looks tired of Spurs, and fresh legs/mind/enthusiasm is now needed.

Not alone. I almost feel like we need some new blood as he seemed a bit stale.
Having said that though he is heavily relied on so being able to rest him better in future could see less seasons like this when he seemed way off his best at times.
As for his stats, he scores and assists at the same rate as David Silva and he works his socks off so not sure we can be too critical of his end product despite his poor return of FKs of late.

I'm no Eriksen super fan and not fussed if he stays or goes but he scored a from a free kick in the last league game against Everton.

What you tend to find with some posters on here is that if a 3 legged donkey played for Spurs they would get their unequivocal support. If you scroll down to the Eriksen article from a few days there were actually Spurs fans saying he'd had a good season!!?
The truth is that in the real world alot of our fans are fed up to the back teeth of him showing occasional glimpses of what he can do then disappearing for 5 games. If he comes back with the right attitude I would give him a chance to redeem himself but if he doesn't want to be at Spurs he's the type who will sulk like a 3 year old child whos lost his crayons.
If he stays lets hope he's been on a corner taking course during the summer.

================
In reality though, Eriksen hasn't shown anything remotely to what he can do, and we all know what he can just recall two seasons prior over the whole of last season.
Other than two games in which he turned up, nothing to shout about really
Sadly for Eriksen, he had an awful season, too awful to be in a position of strength.

Not his best but I think 'awful' is going a bit far. He was out of position in the pivot for a decent chunk of it.
