They don't fit into the same system, which is ludicrous, our two biggest signings can't really play together Benteke is not a player for a top team to build around either, wouldn't call excellent but Firmino potentially is.

Yes and that has mainly been the downfall of the previous regime, or the structure of our committee. We never needed to buy 40 players in two years to challenge.

I don't know, he's definitely an improvement on Fellaini!

United are really just using mid-table tactics either way

[Fosterbloke]

Clyne, Sturridge, Sakho, Milner, Lucas, Coutinho, Firmino, Moreno.

I'd say that Benteke would walk into Man Utd's current setup.

Ings would be quality at Arsenal.

Sakho would be excellent at City.

But look at it conversely, would many of Utd's team get into ours? Rivalry aside, I'd probably take De Gea, Mata, Smalling, Schneiderlin and Herrera but that's it. Depay too if he sorted out his attitude and work rate.

Out of interest, what's the strongest Big5 first XI based on current form in your opinion?

* Big5 = Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd.

For me -

----------------- Cech

Clyne -- Smalling -- Lovren -- Kolarov

Willian -- Ramsey -- Can -- De Bruyne

-------------------- Özil

--------------- Giroud

What you're suggesting is that if Suarez had a couple of **** games he must be ****. Why can't we have some **** games and return to improvement and spanking teams? I think two games isn't enough to see a trend.

Yes thats exactly what I was suggesting. I didn't realise I meant Suarez at the time but on reflection I can see I did. ****ing mind reader alert!!

I think you're missing the point.

[Lecter]

That's your opinion. Chelsea are near the relegation zone so I guess most of our players will walk into their side.

Chelsea are playing badly but you would have to be a ****ing idiot to say they dont have better players than us in many many positions

[Lecter]

Taking form & injuries out the equation, not many

Exactly people are ****ing deluding themselves

[Fosterbloke]

You're only as good as your current form. The league doesn't lie and all that

[Lecter]

But that's still a big part of the squad that's not up to scratch, say Sakho and Sturridge are injured, and I'd add Henderson although I'm not sure about Milner, wouldn't count him personally.

Clyne - * - * - Moreno
Henderson - Lucas - Milner
Coutinho - Firmino

Not Moreno, not Milner and not Firmino for me

I dont think they are good enough to get in those sides frankly

[Fosterbloke]

Milner was in City's side only last season!

Firmino was on Man Utd's radar.

Moreno is playing better than Young or Borthwick-Jackson

[Lecter]

Benteke and Firmino are potentially both excellent players but it could be argued they don't fit into our system or simply need more time.

It could also be argued they arent as "excellent" as you think

[Lecter]

Milner was in City's side only last season!

Firmino was on Man Utd's radar.

Moreno is playing better than Young or Borthwick-Jackson

Milner wouldnt be near their side this season

Just because Van Gaal looked at him doesnt mean anything really

Not sure I agree with that

[Lecter]

You're only as good as your current form. The league doesn't lie and all that

So if you had unlimited funds you wouldnt snaffle half of that Chelsea side???

As much as I hate them as a club and delight in their current malaise, they have some quality quality players

I'd take Hazard, Willian and Courtois. The rest are meh.
