We aren't even close to a CL winning level side yet. European football is completely different, we seem to be at the same level there as we were in the league in 2008/2009. Ultimately the CL is more prestigious worldwide than the Premier League and there is immense money to be made from winning it, plus global fame for the club. Ask Baconface what he'd rather win, I bet he'd tell you the CL, one competition he hasn't been able to dominate as continental clubs can play the rags better just as they can play us better it seems.
I really feel that our system from last season (4-5-1) could work better in the CL than our current setup. We'd be harder to break down and with Silva and Nasri behind say Aguero, would have plenty of threat on the break. Our CL campaign has made us look very naive and we've been exposed by two good teams (Bayern and Napoli) and nearly held by a merely decent team (Villarreal) when they had more of their players fit.
