For foreign players, Chelsea are probably the most attractive club in the country at the moment. No-one else combines history, CL pedigree, world class location and current potential to win trophies in the way they do. |

Let's face it, there is not one genuine footballing reason you'd leave Atletico for Chelsea right now. He's obviously going for the money. |

Disagree. He knows that 1) he (and Diego) is the main reason they are where they are; 2) Atletí have little money to continue at the top; 3) Barca and Real will probably be stronger next season; 4) Simeone will probably leave within a season; 5) PL is a much better league. Getting out at the right time. |

I agree they're the most attractive prospect for no reason other than the possibility of trophies but that doesn't mean they're a bigger club. Edited by Goonie, May 13 2014, 08:32 AM.

Historically speaking Liverpool and United and a lot bigger than any other clubs, but foreigners don't care about that. They want to know if they'll have a chance of reaching multiple cup finals, and have a beastly salary on par with the elites of the world. Both of which Chelsea provide. I personally wouldn't give two shits about a clubs history when weighing up who to sign for. It's all about winning and getting paid. |

My point was never about from the view of a potential signing but simply how big a club is and Liverpool and United are the two biggest. They can't view like that either because the likes of Fulham etc... Who they say is a shit club would have been until this season a more attractive prospect than the likes of Leeds, Nottingham Forrest that they would class as a good club.

No I'm not telling you that. You believe that determines the size of a club which is delusional. What do you think the size of a club is judged on? Success? Recent success? Fan appeal? Value of the club? When taking all into consideration Liverpool are a bigger club. |

You can't ponder away from the top of English football for over 20 years and be considered bigger than the ones that are there. |

I honestly think the location of Manchester is a huge hindrance for United. Not so much for City cos' they can make up for it by offering extra dosh. |

Looked like a class city when I went. Been massively refurbished over the last 15 years apparently. Also, any foreign player isn't exactly going to be put off; they must know it can't be that bad a place if the likes of RVP, Mata, Touré, De Gea, Silva, Aguero were prepared to move there when they must have had other offers.

It is a class city but it's not well known outside of the UK. ? The City boys are playing there because of money and the United boys are there because it's Manchester United + trophies. Villa didn't want to move to Manchester and I can guarantee a whole lot of Latinos wouldn't wanna join Manchester, one of Ronaldo's reasons for leaving United was Manchester. |
