Exactly mate....its got to be that way.This is what we will start doing, like Spurs have done a few times, Modric as well, but they dont spend big but buy well. Livepool dont, for the most part they sell everyone and buy a load of nonsense and the odd good player, add Alonso and Macherano to that list
Big differance between a selling club who got lucky on someone but cant hold onto them and cant attract a decent replacement, to one that has money and the power to operate well in the transfer market.
