Its funny how some here was so sure that the owners wouldn't sell off our best players, with no intention to replace them. Benayoun has left for 6m. 6m too little in my opinion, especially to CFC - somebody we should be contesting for the title. Mascherano has gone for a measly fee, 16-18m. Which, again in my opinion, is half the amount he is worth. Thats another top player gone. Aquilani has just confirmed that he will stay at Juve after his year long loan deal, probably for fuck all. He never set the world alight here but there is no doubt that he had talent, and should be a first team starter for us. Alonso went last season and was never replaced (we never spent the money made from his deal) Riera left, with no replacement. Keane left, with no replacement. Who's next? Torres will almost certainly leave next year. Roy isn't getting us into the top 4 this year, even if a fairy-tale injection of funds come along in January (don't bet on it). They are asset striping us. Slowly, but surely. Will they sell Gerrard or Pepe or Nando? Of course not. That would be suicide. But players like Kuyt, Skrtle, Agger, Babel, Lucas will be next to leave. Get used to the Europa.
