You know what would help take control back - if the club started winning stuff.

Players want money and success, it's not rocket science. If they can earn more and win more elsewhere then they are going to leave.

It'll be interesting to see where Eriksen ends up. He was shite for large parts of last season and if he can't get a game this year then his chances of signing for 1 of the truly elite sides e.g. Real or Barca which is where he seems to fancy playing are quite slim.

Those clubs are pursuing the likes of Pogba and Neymar for ridiculous sums of money because they fit the "galactico" tag, Eriksen wouldn't be seen as a galactico signing and to be quite frank both sides have better players available to them so even on a free, paying a guy with no re-sale value £300k+ a week to sit on the bench is not that appealing.

I think we need to make it quite clear to Mr. Eriksen that if he doesn't wish to play for Spurs then he needs to go and find a new club by 2nd September otherwise he can spend the next year training with the under-13s
