While we would all like to be aiming our sights higher we also have to come to terms with our perhaps slightly lower current (temporary) standing and appeal in the world of football.

If we are talking about very top level footballers we cannot offer CL football. Our location works in our favour but that location is shared by others. You can of course still attract the best by throwing money at them as United did with Pogba and others, but then that is not our style either (or wasn’t pre SM).
Of course players used to be attracted to us because of Arsene Wenger. But you ruined that.
