Well statistically speaking we are having our best season right? Highest points total and quarter finals of Champions League, We managed to replace King, Modric, Bale and VDV. so I feel like we've been able to adequately replace just failed to improve on enough to actually win a trophy.
I think we usually find a way by investing large fees in into multiple deals, allowing us to become a better unit whilst losing a bit of magic in the process etc. This time around it'll be tricky as most players we will be interested in will start off at around the £25m-£30m mark and there's not many players in our squad we'll sell that will generate 3x that kind of figure etc.
Alderweireld's trigger clause, Eriksen's contract situation, they'll be our 2 biggest fees in. If we lose them but being in Andersen & Brandt as their replacements we'll make money on both sales that we have as surplus to use for other positions.
Alderweireld, Eriksen out for £80m Joachim Andersen, Julian Brandt & £35m left over would be very good business given the circumstances. Do that and add a good quality CM with the money I'd be content with that along with certainnfringe players coming off of the wage bill so we can freshen up in other positions too, albeit not with lavish spending
