Where in the world?

[Jody]

I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to world football, mainly relying on Dan Ashcroft for the inside track on the best players outside of the EPL :wink:

So, how competitive would be Spurs be in some of the leagues around the world? I'll go first, with my guesses based purely on the teams that regularly compete to a decent level within the Champions League.

Scotland - 1st
France - 2nd
Holland - 1st
Germany -3rd
Italy - 3rd
Spain - 3rd
Brazil - :shrug:

Maybe you guys could list the teams that would finish ahead of us as if you're a bit more clued up than me.

Balls to the wall :grin: Does that mean we are at least a 1/4 final CL team if you factor in Arsenal, Chelski and Manure?

Apart from the English league I actually believe the rest of it. I don't think the German league is stocked with good teams and if you look at us player for player compared to Bayern I don't think we'd take a huge number of their players.

Ultimately it's an impossible thing to decide on. The Italian and Spanish leagues are very different and we don't know how we'd be suited.

But I think we're starting to assemble a massively talented squad and they could challenge anyone on their day.

Scotland- 1st
France - 2nd(I feel maybe Lyon are stronger than us)
Italy - 3rd (Behind Inter and now Milan especially now they have signed Robinho and Zlatan)
Spain - 3rd (Behind Barca and Madrid, Valencia were stronger til they sold Villa and Silva)
Portugal - 1st
Holland- 1st
Germany - 2nd (Behind Bayern)
Russia - No idea since there's so many plastic pitches.
Brazil - 1st
Turkey - 1st

Its a tricky one this. Player wise, I think we could be up there in most leagues, and our style would catch a lot of teams by surprise. On the flip side, the style of a few teams would catch us out, as Villareal and Fiorentina showed.

And they could always do a Wigan.

English football is probably the strongest in terms of depth, so I think we would do be top 3 at least in any other league in the world.
