Big club status isn't confined to either money or trophies although it's the former that makes the difference in transfers. Historically AC Milan and Juventus are bigger clubs than Arsenal but that's not really true anymore. Juventus are let to really recover the status they lost after the scandals and Italian football itself has fallen behind the Premier League in terms of audience and money.
I think it's hard to define a club or big or not so big anyway. Man City can command some of the best players in the world and their trophy count isn't brilliant but they can pay £200,000 a week.
