This idea that new replacements don't exist is far to shortsighted. As a guide Liverpool are probably one of the best sides in the world ATM. Over the past few years when big offers came in for their best players Suarez and Coutinio. They were sold, they didn't see them as irreplaceable. They got Salah and Mane for a fraction of the price and just as good if not better.
This is how the best players can be sold and replaced with other great players.
Here endeth today's lesson.
Neither Suarez or Coutino left because, Liverpool were made an offer they could not refuse. Suarez say's he left because Liverpool did not qualifying for Europe and the hard time the British press gave him over the biting incidents . Cortinio had been pushing for his move for a good 12 months before it happened. The money raised was not spent on the players you suggest it was spent on Virgil van Dijk and Alisson. Did Liverpool ever get anything for Coutinio?

A very unusual reply ? I never mentioned why either player left. I never mentioned how the transfer money was spent either. I don't think a centre half and a goalkeeper could be described as replacements. Together with the sums don't add up.
Was this a wind up I ask myself.
2020 the year the bubble burst
