Erm, no.
Those Real players you mention would literally stroll directly in to the Spurs first team lineup without a hint of a struggle. For the most part.

In a nutshell, for someone that doesn't watch too much Spanish football, is this dude as good as Harry Kane?
I don't believe that winning CL necessarily makes you a better player.
Benzema v Kane
Isco v Alli
Assensio v Walker
Varane v Vertonghen
Navas v Lloris
Even if Real players in those comparisons are better, they aren't comfortably better that they can just walk into that side, which is basically the argument here right? Hazard and Sanchez would walk right into that Real side for example, but there could be an argument that they are 'not clearly better' than their Real counterparts.
Not sure it is a good idea comparing Real Madrid with a Spurs side who fail miserably in europe.
I'd argue Courtois too, but Navas is at least a capable keeper and that's good enough. I don't see any other outfield player starting unless Real change their structure.
There can be no debate if we just stick with that notion. Let me ask you, in my comparison, player for player, would you choose more Real players or the Spurs players to play for us if money wasn't an issue.
At the end of the day, it's all opinion and I am just stating that I wouldn't think twice before getting Kane, Alli, Walker and Vertonghen at least amongst those players.
We won't even make top 4 if we start next season with Rashford on the left wing.
Impossible to say with any degree of certainty but potentially speaking, yeah why not?
That's so far from the truth I don't know where to start.
Kane is Spurs main goalscorer, so really he needs to be compared to Ronaldo. Benzema is more of a provider. Why Varane and not Ramos who is a bit of a headcase but can score goals for fun? It is alright padding your stats in the PL. Real do it both in La Liga and the CL.
Who exactly are you going to replace them with? Bale or Isco?
I would literally choose the entire Real team to replace our team bar De Gea. In comparison to Spurs, I would probably choose three players MAX.
You can just about make an argument for Kane. But the rest of them? You're having a laugh.
Which three players?
Even Kane is a massive stretch. Place on the bench at the most.
There isn't a player on earth who could displace Ronaldo from that Real team.
Kane, Alli and Eriksen.
@DomesticTadpole @Cal? @RDCR07
You guys aren't incorrect in anything you're saying. But I was debunking the "he wouldn't get into their team" argument.
I am not trying to do a player v player comparison to show which team is better, which of course is Real Madrid without a shadow of a doubt. I am saying that those Spurs players are, in my opinion, superior than those specific Real Madrid players who are considered their starting players.

Varane and Carvajal are better than Vertonghen and Walker.
Obviously, I meant an argument can be made to replace Benzema with Kane.
Benzema v Kane
Isco v Alli
Assensio v Walker
Varane v Vertonghen
Navas v Lloris
Like I said, an argument could be make re Benzema v Kane, but the bolded ones, just no. Navas is probably around the same level as Lloris.
Also why are you comapring Assensio to Walke?
Not sure how reliable they are but Mediaset reporting deal is done and Madrid now focusing on Mbappe
According to twitter God Adnan Mediaset Premium are pretty reliable. Do you know if it was them?
Do you have a link?
The tweets ive seen are saying Mediaset Premium, though ive seen nothing from them directly.

I don't want to derail this thread too much, but people would really prefer Isco to 4 years younger Delli Alli who just had a season where he scored 18 goals and had 7 assists in the league alone? Well, like I said, each to their own really.
Why are you comparing an attacking midfielder to a rightback?
and yes I'd take Isco over Alli. Benzema suits their style. Lloris is becoming error prone.
Agreed that we shouldn't derail this any further, but I personally think Isco is one of the best players in the world, Delli Alli is nowhere near that level.
I'd say no to all three to be honest. Kane maybe in certain matches or moments, but he would face the same problem as Morata since Benzema starts due to his profile. I don't see who Alli would start over if someone like James couldn't make the bench in the CL final. Maybe Eriksen over Isco (who himself would arguably be benched if Bale is 100% fit) due to longevity/consistency but I'd say Isco's qualities are more needed because Kroos can offer Eriksen's best qualities.
Basically says done deal. Think this is the tweet that started it.
No football club in their right mind would start Dele Alli over a fit and raring to go Isco. Not in a month of sundays.
I'd take Morata of Alli, even though they play different positions.
I was talking about Spurs players replacing United players not Real players.
Pains me how hard peopleoverrate spurs based off finishing second...
If you honestly think in form asensio, Isco, Varane, Carvajal and maybe even Pepe wouldn't walk into that lineup then I don't know what to say. Benzema may even walk into it tbh with them adjusting formation.
Because I clearly confused him with their second right back, is that Danilo? I take that comparison back.
Fingers crossed on this one, the only player we are linked to right now I actually want to see in a United shirt and will be crucial to getting in the top 4.
