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).
He's a year older thank Sokratis in fact. And this is clearly *******s as Sokratis is in the bag. We'll then sign the young Turkish lad - bringing together two warring nations in a central defensive partnership for the ages.
