Nothing wrong with saying they are good players and it has nothing to do with the point im trying to make.
The fact of the matter is we need to add quality every year not just replace quality or we will stay at a similar level. If we added to what we already had instead of weakening one part of our team to make the rest stronger we would if been in a much better position.
I know its not easy to hold on to WC players for their entire careers but we should of demanded more money for them and brought in better replacements.

Better replacements.

Khedira and Pjanic are fantastic replacements. 2 world class players. Khedira has injury struggles, but he's healthy now, and we actually haven't lost a single game he has started. Pjanic has never been injury prone. Asamoah is also an excellent CM if he stays healthy. It's also not like Asa has spent his entire career injury-prone. He had a rough 15 months of recurring injuries. Before that he played huge minutes for several straight seasons. Same deal with Marchisio.
We are 1 single good CM away from having had an absolutely fantastic 2 mercatos transitioning this team. And even without, we have a brilliant team, with fantastic players all over the pitch, including midfield.
