would we all agree that Stones, Barkley and Lukaku would vastly improve our present team??
well at the very least, the absolute least, our new owner should have been offering whatever money Man city, Man united and Chelsea are offering these players. these clubs obv rate these player and so should we.
we have made the top of the league stronger, creating an even bigger casm for us to try and bridge. it makes no sense whatsoever to sell your best players to higher placed teams IF you have ambitions of matching them, and letting ross run his contract down is an absolute whopper size mistake.
we very very obviously don't have ANY intentions of matching these clubs.
