With at least two far superior teams than us still in it? Yet you discount
the chance of scrambling a bunch of wins in the league and the mighty Leicester and Spurs faltering?
Blimey.
Di Maria and Falcao? And we don't only need marquee signings to make us better. There's plenty of
players who are not at Real/Barca who can improve the team and wouldn't give two ****s if we were in the champions league or not. They'd probably be getting two or three times as much in wages and would be playing for one of the biggest clubs in europe.
We'd need plenty of luck to win the CL, of course
We'd need more miracles than the Vatican to win the league with an eleven point deficit with nine games to go though.
Actions speak louder than words
And Schweinsteiger was signed in a year they qualified for the CL
Yeah, they dont though really, do they?
Oh, what a bizarre question.
Given we are highly unlikely at this point to win either then one could argue the accumulation of domestic points is of paramount importance, however continued involvement in Europe would keep that dream going, for those that dream that dream.
