Hypothetically, if Spurs were relegated, which of their players would you want utd to go for?
Van De Ven, Porro, Palhinha?
A fit Kudus or Kulusevski?
Solanke/Richarlison?
Not many names jump at me as making us better.
23 Apr 2026 18:46:46
Kulusevski is the best if that bunch, but is coming back from injury, and his best position is Bruno's one.
Honestly, after the past two seasons, I wouldn't want any of their players at the club.

Gray is the only one that has shown any fight.
23 Apr 2026 21:23:04
Wouldn't mind Djed Spence.
23 Apr 2026 22:36:56
Archie Gray is the only one who I'd seriously consider if Spurs go down.
I saw him play for Leeds a few years back, and it was obvious that he was going to be a great player.
Van De Ven is a player I'd actually avoid. His positioning and defensive reading of the game is terrible.
Probably because he can rely on his speed to dig him out, but he's already started to pick up a few muscle injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if he's pretty much finished by the time he's 28, struggling to make 100 appearances in a top flight league after he turns 28.

Loads of good quality players at Spurs.
Not many have played well this season, but I think there are lots of players there that would enhance our squad, or a few others, and play better at a new club.
Bergval and Gray would both do well at United imo. I'd argue Solanke is a better cf than Zirkzee. Spence is at least as good as Dalot imo.
Romero looks like he has been trying to get sent off in games, and, while I'm quite happy to have a bit of a loon at cb, he seems to be all over the place.
Porro is better than Dalot and Maz imo.
It will be interesting to see how many they can sell or have to sell. Not all players will be sold, obviously.
Perhaps the likes of Bergval and Gray will be kept, as they will be on lesser wages and are still very young.
{Ed001's Note - loads? There is one - Kulusevski. The rest are not good quality.}

What if West Ham go down....
I'd be trying to snap up
Diouf
Fernandes
Disasi
In that order.
{Ed001's Note - Disasi is on loan from Chelsea why not try and snap him up anyway?}
24 Apr 2026 06:20:57
I think we should be trying to sign Fernandez anyway, he looks like he could make the step up with a bigger team.
24 Apr 2026 07:24:04
Agree Ed001, he has been class since his loan. Same as the other two players. All three would improve our team.
{Ed001's Note - I don't think he is a good player, he is very limited and just suits the way Nuno sets the team up to sit back and doesn't let his defenders get on the ball. You tend to give your defenders the ball at times and want to play football, he would just revert to being 'Disaster' like he was before.}

Not seen enough of Fernandes, but lots of noise about his potential, especially as maybe the 3rd CM brought in to be part of the rotation next year. Personally, I like Gomez at Wolves as this option, and think he would add quite a bit to what we have.....
not hard from the current crop after Casemiro/Mainoo
Always thought Van de Ven was decent, and maybe has just lost his way and not been well coached.
24 Apr 2026 09:15:27
Wouldn't look at any Tottenham players. I'd be looking at Wolves players before Tottenham, to be honest!
24 Apr 2026 09:21:29
Ed interesting that you single out Kulusevski alone, don't you think Kudus is as good a player?
Also good shout on Desasi, I believe same, he is played to his strengths.
{Ed001's Note - Kudus has a crap attitude, very much plays for himself rather than the team. Shame because he has great ability and I love watching him but he is not helpful to a team looking to win trophies regularly. Bit like Fernandes at West Ham, the ability is there but the attitude is wrong. Fernandes is great when things are going well, but when it is going badly, as he showed for Southampton and at West Ham initially, he just throws his arms up in the air and stands around hands on hips. Even when it was him giving the ball away, he would be too busy stropping and flouncing about like Kevin the teenager to chase and work and attempt to win it back. I hate to see that and it is not conducive to a team ethic.}

Jarred Bowen. Only one I'd take.
24 Apr 2026 18:24:55
I'd take Porro. A full back that can actually score and assist.
25 Apr 2026 12:27:12
Eric, I have said for years, if I ever saw a United player, Bowen is the one. What a player, and person.100 percent all the time and we have lacked those over the years.
We need to ensure that we are buying food characters, fighter, workers as well as having that quality. Bowen ticks all those boxes.
Ed001, I agree, Kulisevski is very good but I have a sneaky suspicion they may look at someone like Van Der Ven
