As far as hurting the team goes - losing Jennings - took a while to recover from that
Losing Roberts - we never recovered from that - I reckon we'd have won a trophy in 87 had he stayed - maybe 2
Losing Gough - never recovered from that
when I say never recovered - obviously we didn't go bankrupt - but major losses pre that vital Italia 90 & Sky time - who knows how much richer we might be now if if if
there was a gap in the market - had we kept Gough & Roberts the way Arsenal kept Adams & Bould who knows where we could have gone
Klinsmann the first time round
Ardilles the first time round cos of the Falklands - a player at his peak driven out for non-football reasons
personal losses for me but acceptable in club terms
Greaves - as TCO said - it was the end of an era - But it was a good move in the long run
Hoddle - my all time fave - but Glenn wanted to go - and it was good for him - and by getting in Gazza we didn't suffer too much
