Title: Where would other European clubs finish in PL? Post by: aaron1867 on December 09, 2015, 04:02:34 PM Premier League is pretty terrible at the moment. But apart from the obvious, who would walk the league, where would other teams around Europe finish?
Wolfsburg? At-Madrid? PSV? PSG? Juve? Roma? Celtic? B-Dortmund? Valencia? Would any be potential league winners? Would some struggle? Title: Re: Where would other European clubs finish in PL? Post by: DMorgan on December 09, 2015, 04:39:15 PM By close of play today we could well be looking at having qualified 3 teams to the group stages, two as group winners. Not really sure what all the fuss is about?

the middle ranking teams all have a lot more money under the TV deals, so can recruit game changing players like payet, bojan, mahrez etc. teams like this never used to be able to but the prem leagues financial advantage over most european leagues means for example stoke are in play for a front three of shaqiri, arnautovic and bojan and can deservedly beat man c. this is good for the league you could argue that the standard of the league top to bottom is higher, with more depth, and the competitive balance makes the league more exciting as a result, especially when some of the standard top six have issues as to the point, pretty sure every club mentioned would be comfortably top half Title: Re: Where would other European clubs finish in PL? Post by: buzzharvey22 on December 09, 2015, 04:53:28 PM I'd personally love to see a European Super League for the big boys, so we can find out who really is the best. So your looking at Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG and Leicester.

Title: Re: Where would other European clubs finish in PL? Post by: horseplayer on December 09, 2015, 08:48:54 PM Buying comfortably top half on at least 4 of those named

I assume we're leaving the newcomers on their existing financial arrangements? The current team would yes. If EPL money was available then it wouldn't be anything like that team or the current manager. Title: Re: Where would other European clubs finish in PL? Post by: vegaslover on December 10, 2015, 12:02:16 AM I think a lot of those mentioned would find it pretty tough week-in week-out in the prem. Teams outside the top 6 in the prem are so much stronger than in rival leagues

If EPL money was available then it wouldn't be anything like that team or the current manager. The question is a bit pointless if we are just moving clubs and giving them EPL money to be honest. Sheffield United would do fine in the EPL as well given premier league cash. Title: Re: Where would other European clubs finish in PL?

Teams outside the top 6 in the prem are so much stronger than in rival leagues Very much this for me. Also totally disagree with the OP pov that the PL is pretty terrible. I take the opposite position and think it is the best it has ever been in terms of the depth of quality. At the top end it is perceived as being weaker on the back of there being no truly dominant side(s) and poor CL performance. Sure, there is a big gap to Bayern/Real/Barcelona but even now we have got 3 out of 4 through (just) to the last 16 again. By way of comparison both Germany and Spain have lost 2 teams in the group stages. |
