Agreed. Also, who exactly would we sell too. After all, most it would appear, are on really good money. Do we really sell 5/6 players and buy half a team again and wait for them to gel like Spuds have done?
That's the thing, there's only 3 or 4 players that teams with serious money would want, the very ones we don't want to go.
Dzeko would be a target for some middling German club maybe, a Schalke, well what kind of replacement would we get with their sort of money? Anybody good in Europe is likely to be out of our reach with FFP, and forget South America - look at the players Sunderland have signed direct from Argentina, who were apparently big title-winning stars there, but are shit in the PL.
We've been running up the down escalator for five years, Platini's trying to speed it up, I think we've done bloody well to stay in contention for anything.
