Have Manchester City officially overtaken Manchester United as

>same wages
I don't think so. United will always pay more, they're worth more, they make more. They're both in the same hellhole location, so I can't see why anyone would go there instead of Chelsea or Spurs in the summer.

Players will still fall for the Poop and >mouyes memes this summer. No chance a player picks Spuds over City or United.

Manchester is a shithole though, or so have I been told by sp memes. Being the shinier of two turds isn't exactly an accomplishment.

We'll see which one gets Harry Kane then we'll know for sure

Spurs can't afford the top-class players, especially since the new stadium will put even more strain on their finances. They'd be lucky to keep their current players for longer than two seasons. The only English clubs that can afford to pay the top-class players are City, United and Chelsea. Chelsea probably offer slightly less money but they have a far superior location. Arsenal might be able to afford the top players in terms the club's revenue, but their board and manager would never spend big money anyway.

Kane wouldn't suit United, and City don't need him. If he goes anywhere it would be Chelsea, but I don't see Costa actually going.

Kane seems the sort of player who would happy being a club talisman to me.

I don't see him joining another London club, Spurs hate Chelsea almost as much as they hate Arsenal. If he does move then it will be to a Manchester Club, any other English club (other than Chelsea) would be a step down from Tottenham and I can't see him moving abroad since he can barely speak English, let alone a foreign language (plus he probably wants to stay in the PL to break Shearer's record). The alternative is that he becomes shit all of a sudden, Liverpool buy him for a ridiculous price and he ends up retiring at Stoke.

They are equally plastic

Old Trafford has more people though due to pakis so united still 1 up I guess.

Been that way since 2010

>Kane to Chelsea
I would love to see how absolutey ass-ravaged the kikes would be.

>same location
That's a bad thing

>same wages
Nope.

>better manager
Debatable

>better squad
But a very old squad

>more respect for veteran players (compare Zabaleta's sendoff to Rooney's send-off)
Rooney hasn't been confirmed as leaving yet...

>>more successful in recent years
True

>club better represents the City of Manchester, rather than being a global brand
Representing a global brand would be more appealing to players.

Most desirable PL clubs from players POV
1. Chelsea (London + money + CL + champions)
2. Arsenal (London + not Spurs)
3. City (Money + Pep)
4. United (Money + history)
5. Spurs (London + CL)
6. Liverpool (CL + history)

Well yes it absolutely is to Johnny Foreigners

London is the only desirable place in England if you're a foreigner. Everywhere North of London is a cold, wet, miserable shithole.

Foreigner here. I would unironically visit Newcastle before going anywhere near London.

That's because you're not a millionaire. Ozil wouldn't be seen dead in Newcastle or Liverpool [insert invisible joke here]
