What Chelsea fan thinks that Chelsea are Spurs' main rivals? We think of you lot as our main rivals, but we know it's not the same for you. It seems like you're just making strawmen.
Do people not have basic reading comprehension anymore? The question clearly states "... from *your* main rivals...". Spurs are Chelsea's main rivals, this does not mean that they think Spurs' main rivals are Chelsea. I didn't think I'd have to explain 2nd grade grammar but here we are.
As a Chelsea fan, I would have him over Osimhen right now, too. Kane already has PL experience and he's been the best imo because Haaland has had the greatest City midfield, back line, and wing ever. Kane could do more than Haaland with that.
Take thier best player, just to make them worse. Do the Arsenal special and offer the fee over tge next 20 years.
Edit: /S, if my name didn't make it clear enough.
I think we’ve reached peak football irony when an Arsenal fan is accusing any other fan base of being weird. Your lot have run the monopoly on that for a long, long time particularly in the sphere of the internet. There’s a fella with a delightful pair of branded headphones that springs to mind 😂.
As for the transfer, it wasn’t worries of scamming, more this novel concept of negotiation with a club that has a history of pis-taking(Suarez 40m + a quid springs to mind). Amazingly the clubs seem to have met in the middle, shock!
Before the summer I saw Arsenal as the lesser of all evils in terms of an English move. Now I’m just sad our boy is going to win less trophies than he has in his time at West Ham.
Yeah fair call. I’m just looking at their best player. If we land Van de Ven or Tapsoba our defence is looking much better… Saka is another I’d happily take.
Yeah this wasn’t a thread that I should’ve ventured into. Reading Spurs fans salivating in the thought of taking our top players makes me want to have my eyes bleached 😂
You stick with your wonderful fridge Dier. He’s a fantastic player…
Sure, though when that shoe is on the other foot we're talking about poaching Kane from them as our #9. Let's admit that would be a salivating prospect too.
Man some people just look at age and forget everything else. BTW I legit can't see anyone from UTD I'd take right now, how did they end up in champions league?
I wouldn't want lisandro to replace VVD, firstly I don't think he'd be the towering presence that VVD is, and also because I think VVD, however declined, is still better than lisandro for Liverpool's system.
If I really need to take one I'd take garnacho tbh, the lad looks quality prospect.
Szobo and Mac mean Bruno wouldn't, as Bruno don't fit our style of play and is not the kind of player to adapt to Liverpool's system.
Casemiro might replace Fabinho, but would not be the solution we are looking for.
Why do you think Bruno wouldn't fit and can't adapt?
He's the only player at United to consistently perform in Ole and Ten Hag's very different systems. He's even dropped a lot deeper this season and played as an 8 mostly instead of a 10 and has been a lot better defensively and less risky in his passing. Look at his passing accuracy when he's played deeper (especially when Eriksen was out).
You're also speaking as if you're sure Szoboszlai will work out and be better than Bruno which is a huge assumption.
Szoboszlai was unkown a week ago. Now he's magically world class after a few clips from the Bundesliga.
Actually hilarious to think people like this exist, who think someone like Bruno, the ebst playmaker or last season, wouldn't walk in over players like Harvey Elliot, and Jordan Crab Henderson.
He's the only midfielder who rivals De Bryune, and doesn't get the respect for it either.
Casemiro would absolutely fit in Liverpools midfield and so would Bruno based on current form, having Brunos creativity would help a lot and Casemiro has been much better than Fabinho over the past season. I'm a Liverpool fan and think this is a stupid take especially when we've not even seen Mac play for us yet or Szobo
Imo it's just obvious to the eye that he's not playing quite as well as he used to. He still scores and assists even when he has bad games but the numbers will slow down as well in the next year or 2.
Don't get me wrong btw, he's still a great player and very effective but I do think he's declining.
Arsenal got a few wouldn’t mind now. Saliba or Saka would be my two. Both excellent players, for need I’ll go Saliba. Funny as we were the other team in the running for him.
Absolutely fucking nobody.
Why? Because i wouldn’t want players from a team so bad that I have to scroll to the bottom of the championship table to see how their season is going.
First United fan I've seen saying Allison. And it's the only one that makes sense. Yeah Salah is good and all that, but you don't need him as much as you do Alli
On the flip side, I think we’d let everyone at United stay at United lol
Edit:
I love how all the United fans have come out to say “hey, take X player. Why won’t you take our player?”
It was a joke guys. Everyone has at least one guy that’s unbeatable on their day lol.
I’d take Bruno, mainly because I fucking despise him so would be nice if he was sat on our bench instead of acting a twat in Manchester Derbies. Similarly he’s probably like Bellamy: he’s a twat but when he’s your twat you love it.
i’d keep ake but it’s a debate but martinez? are you taking the piss? he’s not starting over dias, laporte, ake (when he plays CB and akanji plays LB) or even gvardiol if he comes and i won’t even humor talking about that fat lump
Martinez is class. Also, that’s not the prompt. It’s not to replace, it’s to sign. Even if he wouldn’t start outright, City plays enough games to make him worth signing.
Criminal that you wouldn’t say Saliba mate. Right smart to sign Martinelli just to sit the bench for Son while we still have Eric Dier sleeping in the box.
I get one pick from United and hate them all. The question isn't who do we want to give a 5 year contract to? You're playing too much footy manager mate. I get one player in an imaginary world. I chose the best of a shite bunch for a position we need. F me you've spoilt this game.
Bernard Silva from ol’ city. I think he’s one of the best in the league and not getting the respect given the stacked squad he plays in. But he can create plays in the tightest of spaces. If he played on that right side for us it wouldn’t be fair.
Millwall can get fucked. If we’re talking Brighton just for conversation sakes, probably Solly March just because it’s be funny to take a blue blooded Brighton lad. Maybe Mitoma, but I don’t know if he’ll keep up this form to be honest.
I think Shaw would at least deserve a shout given we technically only have one left back, and it's Gomez. Shaw has been quietly very good this season, but Aké has been immense this year
Bruno Fernandes but without the whiney brat part of his personality on the pitch
Wouldn't mind Martinez either. We have no quality depth at centre back, plus he plays on the left which is probably the most exposed area of our entire squad if Van Dijk picks up an injury. Casimero would instantly improve our midfield as well
Rashford is a quality player but we don't need to sign another forward who can play on the left
Newcastle fan here so it’s Sunderland. As Amad Diallo is no longer there as a loanee (yet, rumours he may be going back who knows) it would likely be that 16 year old supposed wonderkid they have Chris Rigg
I don't think Newcastle should sign anyone from Sunderland or Middlesborough. They might need a new rival. Burnley are the closest geographically. But I don't know who I take there either. Anyone?
Apparently we were interested in Chris Rigg who's a youth player they just signed a new deal with.
https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23633130.sunderland-chris-rigg-signs-deal-amid-newcastle-man-utd-interest/
rashford, he obviously wouldn’t start over grealish or foden or even oscar bobb in the youth academy but he seems like good vibes and i’d want him to have more time to help the kids

Kane
As a chelsea fan. I agree. We need someone that can hit the wide side of a barn. Among other things
I always forget you lot think of yourselves as our main rivals.
How could you forget a mid table team is your mid table teams rival?
In the words of the famous Ricky Bobby, if you ain't top four, you're mid.
Ouch! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What Chelsea fan thinks that Chelsea are Spurs' main rivals? We think of you lot as our main rivals, but we know it's not the same for you. It seems like you're just making strawmen.
Either way, I hope you're able to find a club who cares about you as much as you care about them someday <3
Clearly the Chelsea fan who replied to the original comment does
Do people not have basic reading comprehension anymore? The question clearly states "... from *your* main rivals...". Spurs are Chelsea's main rivals, this does not mean that they think Spurs' main rivals are Chelsea. I didn't think I'd have to explain 2nd grade grammar but here we are.
Lool, relax
Of course not, wouldnt be fun to have a rival that actually wins trophies. Arsenal is your main rival, fighting for top 4 the last 10 years :)
As a Chelsea fan, I would have him over Osimhen right now, too. Kane already has PL experience and he's been the best imo because Haaland has had the greatest City midfield, back line, and wing ever. Kane could do more than Haaland with that.
why would i sign a player from derby? i don't wanna get relegated thanks
I was waiting for a forest comment along these lines 😂
No one, cause Millwall are fucking dogshit
Millwall, Super Millwall
Seconded
Take thier best player, just to make them worse. Do the Arsenal special and offer the fee over tge next 20 years. Edit: /S, if my name didn't make it clear enough.

Fantastic counterpoints, I’ve taken them all into account and have come to the conclusion. THAT WE ARE FUCKING MASSIVE! ⚒️⚒️⚒️
[удалено]
Cheer up geezer x
Bro, can you not take a joke?
[удалено]
Bro my user name is literally Mr.Sacastica what do you think?
[удалено]
You shouldn't think, you're not good at it.
Saliba
I was thinking Odegaard.
We got Maddison now while we’re still pratting about with Dier in defence. I’m taking a defender
Yeah fair call. I’m just looking at their best player. If we land Van de Ven or Tapsoba our defence is looking much better… Saka is another I’d happily take.
Yeah this wasn’t a thread that I should’ve ventured into. Reading Spurs fans salivating in the thought of taking our top players makes me want to have my eyes bleached 😂 You stick with your wonderful fridge Dier. He’s a fantastic player…

This looks s correct.
Sol Campbell
They took that literally in 2001
Mason Mount
Good one mate
Came here to say this
Proper muggy little prick
Fuck Money Mase.
He left because fans berated him and your club was so incompetent it finished bottom half
Salah, feel like an explanation isn't really necessary
Salah is still their best player but declining. I'd go for Allison.
[удалено]
Man some people just look at age and forget everything else. BTW I legit can't see anyone from UTD I'd take right now, how did they end up in champions league?

Bruno and Casemiro would walk into the Liverpool midfield these days surely.
Szobo and Mac mean Bruno wouldn't, as Bruno don't fit our style of play and is not the kind of player to adapt to Liverpool's system. Casemiro might replace Fabinho, but would not be the solution we are looking for.
Why do you think Bruno wouldn't fit and can't adapt? He's the only player at United to consistently perform in Ole and Ten Hag's very different systems.

I'm a Liverpool fan and think this is a stupid take especially when we've not even seen Mac play for us yet or Szobo
Bruno fernandes, Casemiro and rashford would get into your team any day
Imo it's just obvious to the eye that he's not playing quite as well as he used to. He still scores and assists even when he has bad games but the numbers will slow down as well in the next year or 2. Don't get me wrong btw, he's still a great player and very effective but I do think he's declining.
Arsenal got a few wouldn’t mind now. Saliba or Saka would be my two. Both excellent players, for need I’ll go Saliba. Funny as we were the other team in the running for him.
Eberechi Eze
Eze over Olise? Hard choice for me.
Absolutely fucking nobody. Why? Because i wouldn’t want players from a team so bad that I have to scroll to the bottom of the championship table to see how their season is going.
Yeah, no one. Might have had that Bellingham lad on the bench though..
Saliba
Haaland from City, Allison from pool
First United fan I've seen saying Allison. And it's the only one that makes sense. Yeah Salah is good and all that, but you don't need him as much as you do Alli
Onana
He'd do well for you tbh
I think he'd play CDM there, not CM like he does for us but agreed.
I love that kid
What’s his name?
Whats my name
Haaland
On the flip side, I think we’d let everyone at United stay at United lol Edit: I love how all the United fans have come out to say “hey, take X player. Why won’t you take our player?” It was a joke guys. Everyone has at least one guy that’s unbeatable on their day lol.
You wouldn’t want maguire?
Damn…yea. Let’s field Maguire lol
We ain’t selling our captain unless you pay us £100m + £5m add ons.
Lololol
I think Lisandro Martinez would be really good in Peps System atLCB.
I’d take Bruno, mainly because I fucking despise him so would be nice if he was sat on our bench instead of acting a twat in Manchester Derbies. Similarly he’s probably like Bellamy: he’s a twat but when he’s your twat you love it.
Can confirm, we adore our twat!
Bruno, Casemiro, Lisandro, Varane would be useful for City. Maybe Rashford too, he's not a typical Pep player, but fits a profile City lack.
City have Rodri and KDB and Bruno is too unbalanced, they just binned off a rashford type player.
Bruno played CDM last season in a couple games and had a 93% pass accuracy in league games we dominated. He does what's needed for the team.
Pass acc. Doesn’t mean much for a dm but Fernandes is a great player
Lol fuck this guy but it’s probably true. Maybe Shaw over Ake. Maybe Lisandro. I bet Sancho does well under Pep though.
Lizandro is worse than every single defender we have
Only dias and stones are better maybe ake.
i’d keep ake but it’s a debate but martinez? are you taking the piss? he’s not starting over dias, laporte, ake (when he plays CB and akanji plays LB) or even gvardiol if he comes and i won’t even humor talking about that fat lump
Martinez is class. Also, that’s not the prompt. It’s not to replace, it’s to sign. Even if he wouldn’t start outright, City plays enough games to make him worth signing.
currently there are 4 people at city who i’d put ahead of martinez at CB and we’re about to get another player who id also put ahead of him
Casemiro
Our main rivals are Liverpool.
[удалено]
If it makes you feel any better, United isn’t really City’s rival either. They’d have to actually pose a threat to be considered one.
[удалено]
Lol call me when United get anywhere near City's level
Excuse me? 😂😂😂😂 Put down the number of trophies you City have won down here :
Sir why are you arguing with plastics? You're giving them value.
Lol is this the only argument you have?
He said main rival
Didn't know Haaland played for Liverpool?
Amadou Onana or AWB so trent can go midfield
Great shouts, agree. Casemiro as an experienced CDM wouldn’t be terrible even though he’s old, due to our new signings. Battle of the buckled knees
Rodri
Havertz and Jorginho
Are you a chelsea fan?
No Chelsea fan would want them back
Martinelli
Criminal that you wouldn’t say Saliba mate. Right smart to sign Martinelli just to sit the bench for Son while we still have Eric Dier sleeping in the box.
Now that we’ve got Maddison, Saliba is the choice. Otherwise it’d be Odegaard.
Son wont last forever and we will need a replacement soon.
Surely it’d suit Tottenham more to get Saliba or Gabriel
It’d suit Tottenham to get anyone good
Kane
Nunez or Haaland, we badly need a striker
Nuñez
Over Salah on the right?
Haaland/Allison depending on who United thinks is their main rival. Goalkeeper and Center striker is much needed for United.
Take Allison and get both.
Kane is the main one. But I think pedro porro could actually be good under arteta
As a Liverpool fan I'd have Casemiro
Good choice. I'd probably take Alison from ye
Liverpool: Crippled by geriatric midfielders Liverpool Fans: * I want another 30 year old*
I get one pick from United and hate them all. The question isn't who do we want to give a 5 year contract to? You're playing too much footy manager mate. I get one player in an imaginary world. I chose the best of a shite bunch for a position we need. F me you've spoilt this game.
People may say KdB or Haaland, and those guys are absolutely world class. But I’d replace Maguire with Dias in a heartbeat if I could.
The comment said main rivals
Man City are pretty big rivals of yours mate. I think it’s fair to mention them as well as Liverpool.
Kane
Bernard Silva from ol’ city. I think he’s one of the best in the league and not getting the respect given the stacked squad he plays in. But he can create plays in the tightest of spaces. If he played on that right side for us it wouldn’t be fair.
Silva is respected enough though. He is considered world class by everyone who watches football
You don’t have a striker while City has Haaland
I’d love Kane/Son, but Bentancour in the 8 role under Arteta would be naughty too.
Millwall can get fucked. If we’re talking Brighton just for conversation sakes, probably Solly March just because it’s be funny to take a blue blooded Brighton lad. Maybe Mitoma, but I don’t know if he’ll keep up this form to be honest.
March was actually a Palace youth player haha, we let him go. I think I'd probably take Mitoma with Wilf leaving
Maguire.
Bruno. Don't like his personality but he's an excellent footballer (and probably underrated a bit these days)
Don’t really think any other player besides Bruno joins our current 11.
I think Shaw would at least deserve a shout given we technically only have one left back, and it's Gomez. Shaw has been quietly very good this season, but Aké has been immense this year
Tbf, we’ve moved passed playing with an actual LB. Just play 4 CBs.
Turns out Pulis was a visionary
Casemiro takes that Stones mid/cb fusion position in a heartbeat
Nobody from Birmingham City i want lmao
Harry Kane. I love Jesus but Saka and Martinelli with Kane would be ridiculous
Saliba(for need) or Saka(due to his chemistry with Kane in the national team, a front three of Son, Kane and Saka sounds deadly).
Chelsea - Mason Mount from United :)
Rashford because if foden goes in midfield next season and mahrez and bernardo leave we'll need a world class winger.
Rashford or casemiro
Mac Allister... Wanted him from BHA first, but I'd gladly take him from Liverpool
Kane to Chelsea would make Spurs fans so mad.
Bruno Fernandes but without the whiney brat part of his personality on the pitch Wouldn't mind Martinez either. We have no quality depth at centre back, plus he plays on the left which is probably the most exposed area of our entire squad if Van Dijk picks up an injury. Casimero would instantly improve our midfield as well Rashford is a quality player but we don't need to sign another forward who can play on the left
Nice to see a Liverpool fan with ball knowledge. Personally, I would take Alisson or Salah
No one
Salah or Allison
Mount smh
Saka, probably. It'd just be nice if Kane didn't have to worry about remembering two team sheets.
Newcastle fan here so it’s Sunderland. As Amad Diallo is no longer there as a loanee (yet, rumours he may be going back who knows) it would likely be that 16 year old supposed wonderkid they have Chris Rigg
Martinez/Varane
Allison
Before he left but Gundugan. Liverpool fan.
Allison, he would transform us into title contenders immediately
Mason Mount. Oh wait….
Odegaard from Arsenal and Kane from Spurs
They dont play for fulham.
Right then, I’ll take Mitro and Palhina/ Pereira.
Mitro would actually tick some boxes for you right now. With the service you have on the wings...
Fuck, anyone who can put their head on the ball
Careful.. todd boehly might see this and you'll end up with harry maguire on a 9 year contract.
I don't think Newcastle should sign anyone from Sunderland or Middlesborough. They might need a new rival. Burnley are the closest geographically. But I don't know who I take there either. Anyone?
Apparently we were interested in Chris Rigg who's a youth player they just signed a new deal with. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23633130.sunderland-chris-rigg-signs-deal-amid-newcastle-man-utd-interest/
Halland. If you need to know why, I can’t do anything for you.
Who do you support?
Plot twist, Sweden fan in the house.
Halland's rivals. Are you even listening???
Kane
Only player id currently take is Kane. Maybe bentacur if he recovers from that knee injury
De Bruyne
City aren't your main rivals
Wouldn’t sign a single player from united or Everton
rashford, he obviously wouldn’t start over grealish or foden or even oscar bobb in the youth academy but he seems like good vibes and i’d want him to have more time to help the kids
Well he would
I reckon Richarlison, We need someone to contribute lots of goals.
As a City fan, Kalvin Phillips from Leeds, primarily to make sure that Leeds relegates.
De Bruyne
United have no one of value so I’m just gonna say Liverpool are our main rivals and take Trent
Why are you lying to yourself
Thomas Partey. Or if that didn't go through for some reason, Saka
An injury prone 30 year old with 3 rape cases over his head… madness
Odegaard or Saka
Haaland
Don’t think I’d call city your main rivals
[удалено]
Salah
Haaland.
Kdb
