I don't think we exploit this enough in the transfer market. I thought it would be a big draw, but maybe not. Maybe its Rafa really wants a certain type of player so badly that just because he can pick up A good player he wont buy unless its HIS good player?
I don't think you can just pick off anybody from teams like this. I think they need to be experienced a little bit to the point where they cannot afford to be playing seasons at this age without also playing in the champions league. Also, looong time veterans of the club aren't going to leave for this reason (or at least you wouldn't think so). I think this leaves Rosický, Sagna, and RVP as possible targets IMO. Anybody want them?
There could be some pretty decent players on teams in Germany, SPain and Italy that are also going to miss out on the Champions League
Rossi is having a great year at Villareal, but they, right now would miss out on the CL. Maybe we could get Kun, Maxi, or Samao from Atleti? Lopez played pretty well against us.
Germany: Rakitic, Diego. And some young talent: Kroos, Renato Augusto, and Marko Marin
Italy: Aquilani, Vucinic;, Goran Pandev, Ledesma, Lorenzo De Silvestri, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Júlio Baptista
