they're putting together a spineless team with no balance between youth and experience, between skill and grinta. from the guys that went past Barca and toe to toe with Liverpool they've sold pretty much everyone that mattered. sure, you need to revive the team and bring in fresh blood, but getting rid of Strootman, Dzeko, de Rossi was as pointless as it gets for them, the rest at least helped them with ffp, but those guys they just threw away like they didn't matter
