Looks like the same pattern as Spurs a couple if years back and Liverpool last summer when they went on sprees with the Bale and Suarez money. I just hope it is not the same outcome.

Very difficult to bring in a big group of players in and integrate them seamlessly.

It's far easier if they are a significant upgrade on the players you already have

That's true but we're starting from a much lower base than Spurs were. We finished 17th therefore I'd say spending big money on several quality players a gives us a decent chance of improvemevt.

The problem is. If our "best players" leave we are stuck with an average group. So bringing in quality is a must. If our best players then stay, we have a much better chance of moving up the table ......

If our best players leave then we have to use that money and anything else we have assigned for this summer ok ensuring the overall group improves. Losing Benteke and Delph would be a kick in the balls but we did finish 17th with them in the side.

Liverpool bought a lot of players who weren't as good as what they had, Spurs bought 5 attacking midfielders. It seems we are buying better than what we have and spreading it around the squad. Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't....

I reckon that would probably make Tonev Lambert's Charybdis.

We've twice replaced our best player  (Platt, Yorke) with a bunch of other players and improved significantly as a result. We're much further away from competing at the top of the league now but finishing fourteenth would be the best we've managed in years and that should definitely be achievable.
