As a few others have indicated, I'm actually very concerned that we are ripping the very heart and soul our of a carefully nurtured squad.
Last season, we were pretty close to our goal and personally I think that keeping our key players and improving in a few areas (strikers in particular), players like Sandro, Kaboul and Adebayor regaining fitness and form I think we would have been a real force in the coming season.
My concern is the time that it all takes to bed down a completely overhauled team. What happens if we fall short next season and we have a squad full of overpaid, dissatisfied, mercenaries with declining value? We could really be in trouble.
Last season Bale's second half of season genius papered over all the cracks. We're gonna have the best squad we've ever had. Just watch.
