How does one define CL quality?
Chriches has played a number of CL games, is he CL quality? Eriksen, Chadli and Lamela all have CL experience too, as does Adebayor... CL quality?
Lennon.

Or perhaps because he is a very mobile midfielder who has both very decent technique and a talent for reading the game/making key interceptions.
But we signed players who are in the squad today who previously played in the CL!We do not play in the CL, we don't pay CL level wages and we've only ever played in the CL once. CL standard players will go to CL teams. Not to us. We can only buy potential.

But he is hardly the only one and he is not worth what Southampton were asking for him. People are so focused on Schniederlin just because we were after him, if the same story happened with a different player people would be clamouring for that player instead.Or perhaps because he is a very mobile midfielder who has both very decent technique and a talent for reading the game/making key interceptions.
Well yes, obviously. But what people mean when they say CL players is basically top quality players who are established.But we signed players who are in the squad today who previously played in the CL!
What does the Read Only (RO) say...?Any actual ITK lately?
Lennon.
Eriksen?Well yes, obviously. But what people mean when they say CL players is basically top quality players who are established.
Eriksen wasn't an established top player when we bought him, he hardly is now. He was a young player with loads of potential.Eriksen?
You sure, i thought he was a regular for Ajax and played in the CL, or maybe im wrong.Eriksen wasn't an established top player when we bought him, he hardly is now. He was a young player with loads of potential.
Come to think of it, wasnt Ade, Soldado, Fazio, and going back to early years VDV CL players we bought, not sure on Corluka, im sure there is more if i think harder.Eriksen wasn't an established top player when we bought him, he hardly is now. He was a young player with loads of potential.
Vertonghen, Lloris I think were both experienced in the CL.Come to think of it, wasnt Ade, Soldado, Fazio, and going back to early years VDV CL players we bought, not sure on Corluka, im sure there is more if i think harder.
How on earth did i miss those 2, there has been quite a few over the years So the myth we cant sign CL quality players is exactly that a myth!Vertonghen, Lloris I think were both experienced in the CL.

Its all about the EPL and ambition shown by the club, if that ambition is shown to be not evident, the player moves on, for which we unfortunatley see quite often at our club.
wished we didnt fuck around and closed the deal before he got called up. And we paid18 for paulinho. Another levy top 10plays of the year
Well yes as city proved when they were first taken over, but they obviously had ambition and a plan to capture the players like robiniho in the first place, money talks in the EPL, but DL must of talked up our ambition to capture the likes of Loris, its what happens when they realise the talk of ambition is not evident, which we constantly see with change of manager and top players leaving, also the lack of quality arriving at key stages of the TW to push on.Surely it's only down to how much money you pay them?
Most players would come to us if we could pay £200,000 a week. Champions league or not.
