I’m going to take a stab at this, and suggest he compared you to Dortmund because they reached a CL final not too long ago. Of course they also won two league titles in that run of seasons where they actually were one of the best teams in Europe, genuinely, unlike spurs. Dortmund is absolutely on the same level, only a little bigger.

We are absolutely a step down from the likes of Juventus and Bayern .. for feck sake.
It's interesting how you speak with such authority. Bless.
Strange then, that Eriksen has only spoken of Real Madrid and Barca being a step-up. I haven't heard him mention PSG, Juve or Bayern at all. Ever thought that maybe he doesn't want to play in an inferior league with little competition?
Spurs have a team that can match or better any team fielded by those three clubs. Ever thought that Eriksen knows this and doesn't want to just step sideways?
PS. The Dortmund result was over two-legs - not a one-off match. And in one of those we weren't even playing in our true home stadium.
PPS. Cut the personal abuse - it doesn't help your argument.
Yes, I speak with such authority about things that have 100% never happened. Go on, disagree with what I said.
a) Have any RELIABLE journalists or papers said anything about Eriksen going to United?
b) Is Eriksen going to United anything more than an invented scenario based on no evidence at all?
The Napoleon complex is strong in this thread
So you want Eriksen to name check every single club who would be a step up? He'd be there a while
Spurs May have a team that can match Bayern or Juve but so what? Just like they don't hand out medals for coming 3rd you don't get medals for beating Juve or Bayern. You do get medals though for winning league titles which Juve and Bayern do every single year
Only two legged ties are now relevant are they? Oh in that case Chelsea are more desirable as they're the reason you failed in another domestic trophy last season
I don't need help with my argument only a fecking idiot would disagree
So that makes them a sideways step from Spurs as we are today. Winning trophies in inferior, one-horse leagues doesn't change this. Looking backwards doesn't change this either.
Eriksen won't be going to either of those clubs, nor to PSG. So you can bang on about their glories all you like.
That statement is about Bayern Munich, the depths of your delusion are staggering at this point.
Just so I can get it on record (because someone somewhere is keeping track of all the batshit crazy stuff you say) you're seriously saying finishing 3rd with Spurs is equal to winning league titles with Juventus or Bayern Munich?
I'd have to opt for Eriksen since I know very little about Havertz (he's the German lad, right?)
Also, I'm quite the Eriksen fanboy and would love to see him play in a United shirt before he retires.
I'm saying that now - with the manager we have, the team we have, the stadium and training centre we have, the income we have and will have in a year from now, and with us playing in the world's most competitive and prestigious league - it's a sideways step to move from Spurs to playing for PSG, Juve or Bayern in inferior leagues that are more or less dominated by a single team in each case.
And I'm also saying that those clubs would struggle to finish in the top 4 were they to somehow join the Prem
So that's a yes then, thanks for conclusively confirming
You've come up with some classics over the years but this pearler has to be up there with the best of 'em.
Made my night, thanks.
Tell me where you think the current B. Munich team would finish if they were to somehow join the Prem for the coming season.
PSG, Juve and Bayern would all be comfortably top 4 in the Prem. This thread has taken a weird turn.
Probably third. Neither us or Chelsea were particularly impressive in the league last season.
I'll ask you a similar question to that I've just posed above.
Tell me where you think PSG, Juve and B. Munich would finish if they were to somehow join the Prem for the coming season.
Aw mate, go get some Ice cream.
Funny how you're the one behaving like a child because you have no argument whatsoever. Go throw your toys out the pram elsewhere.
True, but then we didn't get to play most of our home games in a real home. It makes a difference.
I see, so Liverpool or City would be forced down to 5th? With respect, that's bollocks.
None of those three teams are all that great.
Our biggest collapse came after we got the new stadium didn't it? Either way I think it's a bit of a weak excuse, we just completely took our eye off the ball in the league and the performances towards the end were woeful.
I think the biggest reason was that we grew complacent and focused down the CL too much, which can happen, especially with our questionable depth.
Oh you mean if they were all in at the same time?
PL table next season (imo) if Juve, Bayern and PSG were all PL sides:
1. City.
2. Liverpool
3. PSG
4. Juventus
5. Bayern
6. Spurs
If we're having a strong league season then I do believe we could get ahead of the current Bayern team. PSG though I think would do pretty well in the Premier League, they have the firepower to blow sides away most weeks and that counts for a lot in a league environment, whereas different strengths are needed for the CL.
Say what? We played just 5 league games in the new stadium. Won 3, drew 1 and lost 1.
Well, we'll just have to disagree about this … especially re. PSG. Either Juve or Bayern might just squeak into the top 4. But PSG would be little better than mid-table … they flatter to deceive and wouldn't be able to handle the week-in and week out competitive pressure of the Prem, which is streets ahead of the cosy league that they're used to.
Yeah but our away record turned to shit at the end of the season, did it not?
Losses to Chelsea, City, Bournemouth and Burnley away. And whilst our record at the new stadium started out very good a loss and a draw to West Ham & Everton respectively isn't exactly impressive.
In general our league form at the tail end of the season just turned to total shit .. which in my opinion is due to our CL run.
Alves, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Veratti, Neymar, Cavani, Mbappe, Di Maria - a mid table team if ever I saw one
Seriously? Well yeah I guess, agree to disagree. I can't see any universe in which a team with Neymar/Cavani/Mbappe up top don't rip apart most PL sides week after week, but hey ho. They're certainly a hell of a lot better than the likes of Arsenal who were 1 point off top 4 this season.I agree with you pal. They might lose Neymar, Mbappe clearly not happy. Might get hit with an FFP charge - which they really should do.
This is a stupid argument, clearly PSG play well within themselves in the French league, this results in their CL failures. If they were in the PL they would be pushed a lot harder, it’s a much more complex question than how they would do right off the bat. Anyway it’s a stupid argument it won’t ever happen.
There's no denying that Spurs are in a good moment right now (I mean this in comparison with their own history) but it takes a very long period of sustained success to get a club into the conversation of most prestigious clubs. I think fans look too much into the right now - but history matters.
Take Chelsea for example. Tons of success in the last decade or so. It takes that to even put them into the mix, and yet they rarely get a mention when you ask a random football fan 'who are the powerhouses?'
I really don't think it's arrogant in any way to suggest that United are a step up from Spurs. Same with the likes of Juve & Bayern. In fact it's madness to even be debating it, but we can always rely on Glaston to ruin it for all of the other Spurs posters on here.
Will we get Eriksen? No. I doubt we'd even bother to enquire about him. It just doesn't smell like a likely transfer at all, for many reasons.
I'd still bet good money on United being more likely than Spurs to win a League title or Champions League over the next 5 years, and it's not arrogance or ego that makes me say that.

Isn’t this thread supposed to be about Eriksen, not a dick waving exercise?

It is an escape room for Spurs fans, first one to post something sensible gets to leave. No winners so far

You honestly get funnier with every post. Breaking the boundaries of creative comedy.

Alves - 36 years old
Thiago Silva - 34
Cavani - 32
di Maria - 31
How long would those last in the competitive heat and pace of the Prem? And di Maria didn't exactly sparkle when he played in the Prem.
Yours is the classic case of projecting undeserved 'glamour' onto foreign-named players simply because they get paid lots of money by a sugar-daddy club. Take Neymar, for example - a prima donna who is talented but nowhere near as good as some like to think and - like PSG as a whole - flatters to deceive. Would I swap him for Kane? No way Jose.
I stand absolutely by my opinion that PSG would not be a top 4 club in the Prem.
Sorry but I could never be as funny as Glaston, have you read his latest?
