That's what I mean by a gulf in class between the clubs. Of course Liverpool can compete, they compete at their level, which at the moment is for a place in the Europa League. Arsenal, at the time of van Persie were competing at their level too, which was for a place in the Champions League. Now, should they sign Suarez and another top player, they will be promoted to another level, which will be competing for the league title, which will then likely make the competition for Champions League spots obsolete.
Comedy gold. Would have been funnier if you said competing for the Champions League trophy
