didn't an Ajax fan sign up shortly after Eriksens arrival and downplay Fischers ability/potential when his name was mentioned?
Every club has them. You get some Spurs fans who play down Townsend and Carrolls ability.

I think it was more him saying that at that moment in time, Eriksen was a far better player, in response to someone claiming that Fischer was already better than Eriksen. He's 19 year old and a winger. You're not going to get consistency there.
That's what I remember too. He was talking about ability, not potential.
I've yet to see anyone here say that they regularly watch Ajax (or Denmark) and that they think Fischer is better than Eriksen at this point in time.
I watch Ajax regularly (bet365). He's the bollox. Better than Eriksen? Certainly at 19.
I still think we should go for him though, he'll be cheaper now than he would at 21. Although I guess that depends on Ajax, if they let his contract run like they did with Eriksen we'd get him for peanuts. If anything, just loan him back out to Ajax or whatever for his development.
Was Eriksen good enough to be a starter for us at 19? Was Eriksen better than Chadli is now at 19?
He will only be cheaper now if Ajax aren't aware of his potential, his contract is running short or if he himself wants to leave now and insists on a move.
If he's a reasonable dude like Eriksen looking to make smart decisions about his future there's no need for him to rush to a bigger league and thus no need for Ajax to sell him. They would be much better off keeping him around, benefiting from his ability and then cashing in for him later on.
What i enjoy about Eriksen is that he makes the other players look good. Siggy will no doubt be spurred on to player better thanks to the two goals and our general play will improve if the players believe that with the added quality we can beat any team. I know alot of people have been hoping for that missing link to tie up the pieces that was our squad and i truly believe Eriksen can become that piece that makes the whole picture complete.
Yeah, reminded me very much of Modric. Does the simple things brilliantly, has a high, high awareness of everything around him and is completely calm and confident on the ball. He'll make us tick, has the confidence to do so. Sig and Holtby lack that assurity.

Really encouraging performance on his debut from Eriksen. He is only 21 and can only get better from now. But you have to wonder how long we can keep him if he goes on to do really well this season. Hope he won't see us as a stepping stone to move to a bigger club in 2 or 3 years time.
