Ffs if that 3-year deal is true I give up . It would also all but null the idea of Azpilicueta returning to his natural position..

Di Maria example is overused and pretty much misleading.
Real really wanted to get rid, PSG couldn't spend and United were the only ones ready to pay the transfer fee. On top of that we're not United.

Also, look who his agent is.

The "No CL" excuse is way overused aswell.   Seriously, in all honesty, do you think players would turn down Chelsea or Liverpool and bigger money, for Leicester because they're CL?  Example, if both Chelsea and Leicester had a bid accepted for say, Morata, who does he choose?

No, I'm not saying we can't sign players on the level of Shaw/Herrera whoever else you mentioned in your previous post.
Just not players on the Di Maria level, the examples is completely wrong, even if I agree with the sentiment.

Agreed. Di Maria was an exceptional case but by no means is he the norm for big teams that don't make he CL. We're not Man United, who's global reach far exceeds ours and were also at a time where they were spending near £250m like no-one's business. 

Shaw et al we can get. Di Maria and such, no chance unless no-one else wants them

Get Fabinho for RB but we seriously should look at our LB. We have a more than decent rb in Azpi.

 

Unfortunately, Fabinho is already nailed on for Atletico Madrid. It's about time they replaced Juanfran. And I agree.. if we're looking for Fullbacks LB should be our focus.

All the players I wished for are getting signed by someone else.  With the exceptions of Radja and maybe Kante.

Right back Stephan Lichtsteiner, who Conte knows well from their time together at #Juventus, is another option. (Telegraph) #CFC

What you compared is size of the club. Chelsea is bigger than Leicester and thats why they would pick us. 

If you compare big club with CL and big club without, then the player would definately want to join big club with CL. And pretty much all top players want top clubs (there are exceptions sure).

Obviously CL is goal all players want, and if you miss out for one year, its no problem. And we played there pretty much all the time in past decade, so in our case, its not if they want to join us since we dont play in CL this year,  but if they want to join us at all.
