I wouldn't. We'd lose Özil in the summer and good luck getting a top striker without CL football.

No we wouldn't. One season outside of the Champions League wouldn't see him leave, especially when he's been a bit off of the pace. If he was carrying us then perhaps I'd understand.
I don't think Spurs, Everton or United will catch us though so I'm not too worried, but I really want the FA Cup.

Liverpool dont seem to struggle with getting top strikers. Because they have had managers who have actually bought top strikers.

I think he would, every WC player would want to play in the best competition in world football. The fact he's been a bit off the pace makes it worse IMO because it might make him want to move even more. Either way the striker point stands.
I want the FA Cup too but it would be one step forward two steps back because we'd be weaker next season.

Suarez and Sturridge weren't top strikers when they first bought them though. If we get out of CL there's no doubt in my mind we'd have Giroud as our striker next season.

If we had bought a striker in Jan or last summer then we might not be in this position now. But you want us to scrape into the CL just so we can go round Wenger's Magical Faileygoround yet again? Whats the point of being in the CL? We play in it but we dont compete in it.

Of course Suarez was. And anyway they still have those players. We would have sold Suarez by now despite actually being in the CL

I thought I made that clear. To attract better players. Win the FA Cup this season and drop out of top 4 we'd have a weaker team next season and would become even less competitive. Look how many seasons it's taking Liverpool to get strong again.
