I'm not sure how sincere he is regarding European footy. It is no longer the defining factor like it once was.

Celtic may well be in the Champions League but financially they can't compete with anyone in the Premier League. Lyon are in the Champions League but the French League is absolute turd. He might play a couple of matches in the group stages but he won't be up to much after Christmas when they are inevitably dumped out.
 
That might mean we have to set our sights a little lower sadly.

A talented player who is here to give his all is a better addition than a galactico who arrives with an entourage and sees himself as bigger than the club. There are many examples of this through the years, the biggest being Asprilla at Newcastle who was brought in as the superstar to seal the title. The exact opposite occurred.

Also Bolasie is the bigger name player :)

A polite way for a footballer to turn a club down that they don't think is big enough is to say they wanted European football when in fact 90% of them would still go to teams like Chelsea.

A good example is Lukaku, said he wanted champions league football but he would have gone to Man Utd, Chelsea etc. They're normally either trying to say they want more money, or failing that want a bigger club.
 

99/100 seasons those teams will be in the CL.

I know but it proves that it's not being in European football that's the reason they're not joining. What they're really saying is "I don't think you'll be in European football on a consistent basis eg, you're not a big enough club.
 
I wouldn't watch too closely. I've been banging the Ox drum for the last six windows in the faint hope that it happens and I get to claim full ITK status.

Hey no worries hope it comes off think there's a cracking player in there just been unlucky with injuries and Arsenes fetish for foreign central midfielders, don't see him as a winger.
