Four World-Beating Teams That Could’ve Been If Not For Transfers

By Connor Fleming February 11, 2018

Possible Valencia, Monaco, Southampton and Borussia Dortmund sides that could’ve brought down the hegemony.

With three months still remaining in Europe’s major leagues, four of the five most-watched competitions are pretty much already decided. In Germany, Bayern Munich have ostensibly been crowned champions with an 18-point lead over their nearest rivals. In England and France, it would be shocking to see Manchester City and PSG throw away their respective 13-point and 11-point advantages. Spain is tighter, but Barcelona comfortably sit nine points clear of Atletico Madrid.

Even what was once a madcap, five-team race in Serie A has quickly dwindled into a two-horse race between usual suspects Juventus and underdogs Napoli, but at least there’s competition in Italy. 

As Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger recently stated, financial imbalance is “destroying competition” and revealing that “something is not right in our game.”

For a better idea of how competitive football could be without smaller clubs getting torn apart every transfer window, here are four clubs (Valencia, AS Monaco, Southampton and Borussia Dortmund) that could’ve challenged for silverware this season had they been able to keep these active players together.
