Maybe players moving is not some kind of natural disaster nobody can be blamed for, dear handsweretiedogists. Except Ogbonna every major departure was a mismanagement, some neglectible some infuriating. Regarding the age, Evra could have done one more year just fine.
Moneywise you are talking about 5-10 mill per player lost at most. Pirlo had no value.
Tevez (if he wanted to stay in Europe and keep his career ongoing) would be worth around 20 mills but since thats not the case I think we could have made maybe ten mill at most.
Vidal could have made us 10 mill more given his poor last season form and injuries (by his standards).. I'd have made him stay.
Llorente could have made us another 10 mill?
That'd be 30 extra mill in total if marotta got it all exactly right. Not that big of a difference in the big picture if you ask me. That money maybe could have been added to the draxler money but I dont see who else (other than draxler) we could have brought in and Management seem to have judged Draxler to not be worth the cost.
