Spurs fans seem to have finally lost all patience with midfielder Christian Eriksen after he put in another dreadful display in the 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.
The Danish international has seemingly turned his back on the club and looks set to leave on a free transfer in the summer when his contract expires after he originally stated his desire to leave in the summer following the Champions League final defeat. Despite this, Mourinho has still made use of the 27-year-old and handed him his first start of his Spurs management in the game at Bayern, but was repaid with a poor display which earned the midfielder a 6.7 rating.
Eriksen first signed for Spurs from Ajax in 2013 and hit the ground running at the North London club, with 12 goals and 12 assists in his debut season. Fast forward six years and Eriksen now has 68 goals in 295 appearances for Spurs and would perhaps have gone down as a legend at the club had he not orchestrated his expected departure in this way.
Should Spurs let Eriksen go for free in January?
Yes
No
Reaction from Spurs fans to a post from LastWordonSpurs asking if they would happily let Eriksen leave on a free in January can be seen in the tweets below.
As much as I love Ericsson, let him leave. He doesn’t want to be a spurs player anymore.

It’s ruined the good years he had at the club with his attitude and performances this season

At this rate, I’d pay him to leave.

Yes. Damaging to the team. Lost all quality and determination. A wasted spot in the squad.

Get rid ASAP. I don’t care what the deal is, he’s an empty shirt. It’s better to give Lo Celso and Skipp game time.

Get him gone. He has no ambition anymore, no passion. It’s surprising other big clubs want him after the terrible performances in the last 2 years. He doesn’t try anymore, I want him gone, I don’t care how much, I’d rather have someone who plays for the badge than himself. #TTID

Reached the point where I blame Levy. Both Poch and now JM play him…. Why? Only reason is re-sale. The same with Rose… And potentially Dier.

These Spurs fans have clearly had enough of Eriksen and seem to be more than happy for him to leave on a free in January.
What do we think?
Eriksen looks to have lost all desire to play for Spurs and at times last night, it felt as if Mourinho’s side were playing with ten men. If they can get rid of the Danish midfielder in January then they should perhaps aim to do so, to ensure that they are not continuing to pay his wages without any sort of return.
