Sevilla are a perfectly fine club, but given the choice we should blow them out of the water in the same way Barcelona blow us out of the water. For French talent too, Wenger used to have influence there but Iām not sure it counts for anything now. Iām guessing we could have blown them away with our wages but Iām guessing we didnāt want to.
The difference is Sevilla are winning Europa Leagues and Arsenal are just the the formality that the likes of Barca and Bayern have to beat to reach the CL quarter finals. I know itās not our fault that weāre never bad enough to qualify for the EL but it canāt do our reputation any good being the whipping boys of Europe.
To a foreign player thereās probably not much difference in their minds between us and Sevilla and thatās probably the result of years of allowing our reputation to decline. I just wish we would value it more.

Yea, the clubās pulling power on the market may have taken a bigger hit over the years. Constant ro16 finishes, while often not even making it look close and a reputation of top4 in the league, while never challenging, probably doesnāt make for a convincing read when trying to lure players to Arsenal.
Scored on his debut for Sevilla in an entertaining 6-4 win against Espanyol.

I think the worst indictment of all isnāt necessarily the record (although it isnāt inspiring reading) but rather the clear perception that we arenāt in the business of āgoing for itā so joining us may be a good career move in some ways, but it isnāt going to bring you any glory really.
