I'm not sure we directly replaced Bale but instead we bought players like Eriksen, Son and Dele who have given us a different dynamic in the attacking midfielder position. My point being is that we may also not find a direct replacement for Dembele but likewise our game can progress without him with new players of different qualities. One could argue that replacements have already been bought in central midfield with Wanyama and Sissoko, both bought by Poch and both contributing to our depth of options in that positionWe are third in the league and selling a player who has played 500 minutes of PL footie at somewhat questionable quality. The crazy decision has been not to secure a replacement over several windows.
