Mugwump said; As the teams stand right now, i dont see us or you being that far away from United, Chelsea or Arsenal tbh. I cant speak for you in terms of what you need as a team as i dont watch you week in week out, but if we could upgrade 3 players in our side ( probably in defence ) and they fit with our ethos and system, i think our first 11 would be a match for them. Arsenal i dont think are that great at all, we should have beaten United and Arsenal already. We have thrown away quite a few points either through being a bit naive or just not being clinical enough, Leicester, Brighton, Arsenal and United away spring to mind as games we have played well enough to win and either lost or drawn. Thats another 10 points better for us if we were a little bit smarter. I'd personally like us to bring in a couple of players like Moutinho who have that experience and know how to raise the standards at the club. Having winners at a club rubs off on other players.
We are both a million miles and multi-million pounds away from United, Chelsea and Arsenal! And this season, all three of them are in transition to the reign of a new manager.
If you succeed in playing in Europe next season, then you will discover just how great the difference is, just as Burnley have this season.
