It's Quiet - a new dawn

There comes a point when we need to be one of these elite clubs competing and winning Champions Leagues every year. The owners want it, the manager wants it and the players want it, any fan that says they don't want it is just setting the club back.

Irregardless of what anyone think of UEFA (bent twats), the best way to stick it to UEFA is to win the damn thing.

Plus if we're winning Champions Leagues I reckon it's pretty much a guarantee we'll be dominating the Premier League.
Not sure about this.

English Champions League winners since 2000:

Chelsea 2012 - Finished 6th
United 2008 - Finished 1st
Liverpool 2005 - Finished 5th

Finalists:
United 2011 - Finished 1st
United 2009 - Finished 1st
Chelsea 2008 - Finished 2nd
Liverpool 2007 - Finished 3rd
Arsenal 2006 - Finished 4th

I was referring to my post where I said we'd be winning and challenging for Champions Leagues every year, not one offs like most of those. I was talking on the basis that we need to be doing what Real, Barca and Bayern are doing, challenging every year whilst being more than competitive in the league. Obviously a harder task in England than in Italy or Germany but there needs to be a point when we attempt to be the dominate English team.

See what you're saying, my bad. I'd love to win the Champions League, but if we focus on winning multiple titles and dominating the PL then European success will eventually, inevitably follow.
 
Does anyone have a list of the targets we are linked with that will be the final 2 additions?

Tough to say because we've heard about a "mystery CB" all window. From the links it could be Inigo Martinez, Ben Gibson, or a higher transfer fee that many want in van Dijk. As far as the attacker we've been linked heavily with Sanchez and Mbappe all window. If not one of those two it's really up in the air. Pep could also decide that one of the signings be a midfielder, most likely a holding mid. There haven't been any links really, a recent rumor of Busquets that has been shot down by many Barca ITKs, could just be lazy journalism since Pep brought him through Barca. I should know more in three weeks.
 
Slightly off topic but do we give a f**k about Champions League? I know the club needs it for "ongoing branding" but I don't give 2 shits about it. I want us to dominate the Premier League

You don't become an elite club winning only domestic competitions. (Present day Celtic, anyone?)

The CL provides a global yardstick, prestige and pulling power.

So yes, I give a f**k and imagine our owners do too.

You should know more in three weeks? I suspect you will my freind, I suspect many will.

Same here. Sadly for the project it's essential. I go to all the CL games without giving s fuck. It's great.
 
I think the whole 'mystery CB' thing just means that we were thinking about possibly going for a CB but hadn't definitively decided on that or who the targets would be if we did
