If you were going to play for a club, who would it be?

For me Dortmund. Best stadium in the world, great atmosphere, fans great inside the stadium and respectful outside it, lovely countryside close by. What's not to like?

For those saying Boca Juniors, you wouldn't want to go out after a bad defeat!
 
Ajax.. Netherlands is quality place to live & the club has history.

Inter Milan, kit & it's Italy..

Dortmund.. cracking team, stadium & fans
 
Athletic Bilbao.... great city, great area, nice people in my experience..... and access to a Transporter Bridge (y)

I don’t know if it’s still the case with them, but there was a point where they only signed Basque players. To think they’ve ran that model and managed to stay in the top division for as long as they have is incredible.

17-19 Middlesbrough - the Juninho years
-skills for days the next big thing, cup finals, Europe, England. a falling out with the hierarchy after a few too many heavy sessions and chest freezer knee tremblers.

20-22 Man Utd - the Robson years
Captain those divvies, pull a few socks up wind a few necks in.. join Durrutti Column

23-25 Liverpool - the Souness years
after a headbutt to Roy Keane’s chest at the champions league final.. the pool calls and think they can tame the beast. bringing back old school spirits for the dark arts. Spice Girl on each arm and top of the chart fronting a scouse mega band.

26-28 Arsenal - the Parlour years
after shytting in Steve G’s kit bag and spitting in Jamie Carragher mouth Wenger feels spiritual enlightenment is the way forward. Mushrooms and LSD revolutionise Arsenal for a 2nd time, tie die kits and free love are the order of the day.

29-31 Barcelona - the Mendieta years
Go on holiday and can’t be chewed going back. Tear La Liga a new one despite the knees going. World Cup in one hand tab in t’other!

32-34 Inter Milan - the Ince years
Tapas bars stay open LATE time to slow down with just two or three supermodels a night. Canny pad on lake como 2 minuites away from Clooneys gaff for espresso and basketball. End up in Ocean’s 11 and make it not shyt.. by it being a remake of the great escape.

35-37 Middlesbrough - the Downing years
Gibbo gets my mobile number off Clooney and starts blabbing at 3am pished out of his tree. Jump in the jet to sort him out get boro promoted despite having a mopey dunce of a manager. The fans kick off every time I step on the pitch after a few innocent windmills and a wave of the chocolate starfish.

37-39 LA Galaxy* - the Xavier years
Might have tested positive for all of the drugs Maradona and Pete Doherty plead for me to seek help. I join Scientology and start hanging round with Tom Cruise not sure if I ever feature for the team but I wear the shirt most days.

40++ Middlesbrough Player/Manager
18 month NLP based coaching badges an an excel spreadsheet. The future is bright, a big watch and a full vape, who knows what the future will hold.. ?

*last minute change to Los Angeles FC purely on the basis of their kit looking better and they don’t have a daft name.

Are you answering a different question? One involving time travel and nonsense?

Barrow for me. I love the South Lakes and that's as close as you can get for a football team I think. And it's got a famous bus station which isn't too chewy.

I believe I gave a full and comprehensive answer. Barcelona would be the ideal but LA Galaxy would be the most likely. As for the spice girls.. it would be Mel C and Emma Bunton.

Barrow is an absolute hole! You’d be better signing for Windemere or Ambleside and playing in the Westmorland league
 
Porto, I like the city the clubs not too bad as well. I would have a penthouse on the south side of the river so I would have that fantastic and magical view at night to remind me why I picked Porto.
 
I'm not sure why more English players don't chose to play in another country. Main land Europe has some wonderful countries and people with brilliant football clubs and cultures.

Haven't all young kids imagined playing for a big European team? The generation I belong to grew up with Gazetta Football Italia so Serie A has always had a bit of mystic even if it's no longer the best league. When I was a kid the lads I played football with all had ideas of playing for various clubs in the big leagues. My favourites:

Italy - Milan and Sampdoria (I loved their team that reached the European Cup Final at Wembley in 1992)

Germany - Dortmund and Eintract Frankfurt (just liked their name as a kid)

Spain - Valencia

Netherlands - Either Ajax or PSV

France - Lyon

Portugal - Benfica (I have a Portuguese friend who is a massive fan)

Norway - Brann (I worked in Bergen for 14 months so hence that)
