I was having this conversation with a Gooner last week and I lamented getting through the groups last season as dropping into the Europa might have been better for us.
It’s a tricky one really, I suppose most people wouldn’t have given Spurs or Ajax a shout of getting this far so there is always that chance of having a good CL run.

The transfer window ban could be the key, if we do get to buy players this summer then having CL football could be the difference in the quality and type of player we could bring in, especially if we then can’t sign anyone in the next window or two.
