Seems as if no high profile player wants to sign for us nowadays.
That's the damage that was inflicted by Hicks and Gillette. They nearly ruined us completely, but they didn't, and we are still on the mend. I wouldn't say we have fully recovered from the damage that we were subject to - years without European football has hurt the image of this club in the short term. If we are not to sign any high profile players because they do not trust the potential we possess, then we'll just have to show them what they are missing out on in this years Champions League.
Falcao was always a dream, as was Reus, as was Sanchez. Players in this modern era perceive United, City, Chelsea and Arsenal as bigger clubs. They will also see Bayern and Dortmund ahead of us, as well as Barcelona, Madrid and possibly PSG and Atletico. We need to rectify that this season.
