Yeah but in the grand scheme of things they had hugely fulfilling careers and got to lift the PL multiple times and the FA Cup and League Cup.
No disrespect to Ryan Bertrand but he famously won the CL with Chelsea and yet had a fairly average career which was nowhere near as fulfilling as the careers any of our stalwarts have had.
Aguero, Vinny, and Silva deserved better “luck” in the champions league, suspect most would have swapped a champions league win for one prem title.
At the start of every season I would rather win the league and three in a row would be very special but I think this scenario is very acceptable. Obviously we would all rather win both but the scenario is very favourable.
Chelsea, United and Liverpool missing champions league qualification again would mean they miss out on the prestige, vast revenue and transfer targets due to this. Could mean we get an easier acquisition of Bellingham for example.
From the current squad I suspect perhaps Phillips would be the player who would maybe prioritise Premier League, Haaland and Alvarez also but I think would be ecstatic with CL
Ederson, Stones, Walker, Laporte, Foden, Gundogan, Bernardo, KDB, Mahrez all have 4 premier league titles: 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22
Rodri, Cancelo have 3: 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22
Dias has 2: 2020–21, 2021–22
