yes because the swathes of rejects we have had so far says that.
To be honest why are we big in europe? Genuine question here as we have only won one trophy there in what 50 years? Why would we be seen as big there? In fact more to the point considering we haveb't been a top team in england since the 80's, i am sure people would have forgotton we existed ala all the other european teams that have faded away.
I just don't get this 'big in europe' point when we have not really done anything in close to 32 years to make us stand out from any other team who has had a flirt with european competitions.
And considering how long it has been since we last won a trophy in europe, most of the players we want to bring in weren't even born then
