Don't have Wenger to help lure players either. Despite everything he was a guy lots of players wanted to work with even in his later years due to his record and reputation. Emery is only going to get that if he proves he can win, so we have a struggle in that regard in the short term.We are going to struggle to attract what we need. We dont have the spending power of United to make big signings without CL.
If he still had that pull we would have been getting better players since Sanchez. He was signing mediocre players up until he left.Don't have Wenger to help lure players either.

No other big club was in for him...... .Atletico transfer banAubameyang? Lacazette?

Who said anything about anyone being bad? We are talking about the 'wenger pull'. He didn't get those players because of any pull.Nobody else was in for Salah. Does that make him a bad player?
Flawed logic.
If I said Özil, you'd say Özil is a failure. You have convinced yourself.Who said anything about anyone being bad? We are talking about the 'wenger pull'. He didn't get those players because of any pull.
Don't want to be a doom-monger, but his treatment of Özil is not going to win him many fans either.Don't have Wenger to help lure players either.

Considering this conversation has been happening in the Pool game thread, I thought I’d try and move it here:
There are very few players still in the pool squad from three years ago, and only one that’s starts (Ferminho), 2 that regularly play (Lovren and Henderson), and Gomez who has developed well. There’s a handful of other players too like Mignolet, Clyne, Lallana, Moreno, who rarely play.
Out of the current squad, who would be in a hypothetical title challenging squad in three years time?
It could be split into Starting XI, Bench, Squad.
Starting XI: Leno, Bellerin, Torreira, Aubameyang/LacazetteConsidering this conversation has been happening in the Pool game thread, I thought I’d try and move it here:

We'll have to be smart with our budget for example getting players like Sok Torreira and matteo were smart piece of business and it only cost 50M. We are not in position to sell players for 100M and we not in position to buy 50-60M players.
