The EL can do one. We won’t be finishing 4th so where we finish now is of no concern to me. If we win the cup and qualify that way then so be it, but the league is dead to me unless we go on some crazy winning run.

I don’t think we’ve got the squad depth or quality anymore to deal with the extra games. A season of just 38 league games plus cup games sounds just fine to me and I’m sure Arteta secretly wouldn’t mind either.

No player of note aspires to be in the EL, so I don’t think our transfers hinge on that.
