I think our greatest accomplishment in this coming transfer window will be to keep hold of players. We may as well forget the fanciful thinking of purchasing such luxuries as Gotze, Pastore etc... because we missed that boat when the final whistle rang in Basel.
I think Matip wouldn't have come if he had the foresight to have seen we'd end up with no european competition for next season.

I'm not really bothered about either of them players, but how else are we meant to improve if we can't sign any sort of high performing player?
I don't see how signing players who can perform well against the best is fanciful. If I was a player in europe right now I'd be thinking if I can help improve this team, they already have some great players, I have a chance of challenging for one of the biggest prizes in football with a great coach.
I know most players won't be thinking that as they are not emotionally attached to the club,
but they should. They've seen the matches we've produced in the europa league, such as villarreal and dortmund at home, we need to build on that.
