We never needed to sacrifice anyone given the season and the mercato we had just about wrapped up. The nature and circumstances of this sale suggest that it wasn't to fund another player exclusively. There is definitely more than meets the eye, but point is, now that it has transpired, and we've lost a big big player, the only way forward is to fix it with a stellar, high profile purchase so that we can signal to other clubs and our own players that we are a team with ambition. Not a club perpetually in shuffling between levels three and two. That graduation has to level one has to happen now, even moreso with a big sale like this.
