It was that 80% (74%) confidence that jinxed the deal Dave!
I have to say i was pretty sure he would be back at Spurs at the beginning of the saga, and i would not have blamed him for that. CL football, a team he played at for years and being coached by the manager who prised him away. That and the insistence his family were settled and wanted to stay in London. So Utd coming in and stealing him away was indeed a kick in the teeth. A 3 year £150k pw contract however is hard to turn down. Whilst im sure he’s fighting fit, and blip in his health for whatever reason will be amply compensated by that wage; a player’s career as they say, is short.
And maybe (he said clutching at straws) its no bad thing for a club of our size and limited wealth to not have a star who’s earning 2 to 3 times the salary of the other lads fueling their own financial aspirational gains.
As you say, it was fun whilst it lasted.

before criticising Eriksen for leaving, ask yourself a simple question – If I was offered that much money would I take the money or say, that’s very kind of you, but really I feel obligated not to accept. I doubt there would be many who would stay and turn away the offer of multi millions.
Spot on Mr Carney. A touch of balance would not be amiss lads and lasses. It is not just money that Utd can offer. I don’t know Christian well enough to judge all the motivations behind the decision, and don’t really care that much. We are not loyal to players; it is arrogant to expect them to be loyal to us.
We gave a lot to Christian, and he rewarded us amply. I have no intention of souring the memories by any self-inflicted bad taste. We move on, and hopefully upwards.
There are 25 odd players remaining that we can get behind, so I am not going to lose sleep over it. Good luck Christian
25 odd, I apologise to the twenty or so Bees players I have just libelled
He’s done what any other top level pampered, somewhat ego-centric sportsperson would do. I liked the way he played but nowt else. Everything else prior to united wadding in was just noise. Enjoy the money and the prawn sandwiches Chris. It’s not the Brentford way to do deals with the devil. We move on with a young ‘united’ (see what i did there?) squad. Proud to be a bee.
If Manchester United came calling for any other player or indeed coach at our club how many would say no? Could you imagine Toney, Norgaard or Rico turning them down? We have Thomas Frank for now but I can’t help but hear the clock ticking. Let’s stick to our plan that has worked so well to date and maybe seek to emulate Brighton’s trajectory in the EPL.
