You can count the number of successful signings that have cost mega money on one hand. Tevez, Aguero, De Bruyne, Silva, Yaya.We are not same before but I think without CL we may end up with hungrier and also trouble players that had problem from previous clubs which I don't want to mention the names as all of them are gone (Robinho, Adebayor and Tevez). Hopefully we not have to build our club again from next generation of trouble players. Pep is the positive but without CL is quite negative. Do you think Messi will join us due to Pep without CL?
We signed 3 of them when we weren't in the Champion's League and Aguero signed when we hadn't won a Premier League title.
Cheaper hungrier players have always been the best bet, which requires better scouting. Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany were all signed for peanuts. Mahrez was signed for peanuts. In 2010 whilst we were spending hundreds of millions on tripe like Adebayor, Dortmund bought Robert Lewandowski for €4.5m from Lech Poznan.
The myth that you need Champion's League to attract the best is a myth, we aren't going to sign Messi regardless and what good was Champion's League when we went for Pogba last summer?

Not at all, but you really can't see the Rags blowing it now after the umpteenth chance we've presented them this season. To rub salt in the wounds, they will probably win the FA Cup as well, after we blew the tournament off in preference for a competition we were much less likely to win.
Oh well, let's wait until Tuesday to see if the Gods will save us a top 4 place.

You've cheered me up, so thanks for that.

LolWould be for most clubs, but I think The Good Sheikh keeps that amount in the ashtray of his Lamborghini for parking down Moston Lane when he picks up his muffins!
