Some people on here pointed out that you can't sell your star players and expect to progress. They were shouted down by the 'Brentford model' and some such guff. Yes it can work if you replace them with other gems but this is so rare as to be wishful thinking.
I know the arguments that they didn't want to stay etc but when we sold Gyokeres and Hamer we sold our crown jewels. We have to build a team of solid, dull players who can somehow fluke success or we have to find some more stars. Players like that don't come along very often and we couldn't get them to stay so we have to accept mediocrity.
