It's not bollocks. It's how it should be. Players should want to play at the highest level of football. The only reason it's now become bollox is because money has ruined football.

It doesn't surprise me that a Man City fan would support this.

It doesn't matter 'how it should be'. That's not how it is. Top players have been signing for clubs not in the CL for as far back as I can remember. Pretty sure Napoli weren't among Europe's elite when Maradona went there.

Who wants to see a league where top players will only sign for 2-3 clubs anyway? It'd be watered down La Liga style ****.

"Either support one of these 2 clubs or you'll never get to see a top player". Exciting!

Top players should aspire to play in the Champions League. Willian was playing in the CL for Shaktar and Anzhi but now he's going to take a step back to join Spurs? Why would any player who is coming into his prime want to move backwards?

Falcao is an absolute puussy. He left a CL club in Porto and he won't have played in Europe's elite competition for what? 5 years? Most of his prime years wasted being the King of the Bum Ass Europa League. What an achievement!

In the case of Willian. He has to leave and wants to leave Anzhi. Only 2 clubs are in for him Spurs and Liverpool. He chose Spurs, the higher finishing team. Is Arsenal willing to spend 30m on Willian? No? Then that's why Spurs is chosen.

Falcao is everything you stated. He even chose Monaco over trophy winning clubs.

Playing in a top league >>>> playing 6-8 games in the CL every year. Also he probably realizes that at Spurs he has a much better chance of actually getting somewhere in the CL should they get into it, rather than the miniscule chance he currently has at Anzhi.

I think 99% of footballers would choose to play for Spurs over Shaktar or Anzhi.

Spurs got to the quarters of it a couple of years ago didn't they? What's Anzhi's record like in the CL?

*FC Copenhagen player signs for Spurs*

"Why is he taking a step down?!?"

[Joe2608]

No one in their right mind should be choosing Anzhi over Spurs. They have been so close to the Champions League spots over the past few seasons so it should be clear to any player that with the right signings they will get in there again.
Plus they get to play in the best league in the world every week. Anzhi have no chance of winning the Champions League anyway so it's fairly pointless.

Plus how can you say money has ruined football, then go on to defend Anzhi?! They are prime offenders, if he signs for Spurs he will be on less money than he was on at Anzhi guaranteed.

[Texanballer]

Jesus "Little Tecate" Corona is about to sign with FC Twente.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Anzhi are in financial peril at the moment so he needs to move to remain on high wages and Spurs are probably one of the only teams willing to pay it right now.

These players want that guaranteed money even if it means playing in Europe on a Thursday night for the rest of their careers. Sad.

[Krewella Boyy]

Arsenal will smack up that Turkish club today.

4-1, you heard it here first.
