Pep had to get rid of

-Zaba, Sagna, Clichy & Kolarov (all 4 fullbacks)

-Hart & Caballero (both keepers)

-Demichelis, Mangala (2/3 CBs)

What do you expect him to do? Promote 8 academy players?

Mind you the total average age of these 8 players was 32 years old https://twitter.com/lizzychapman23/status/1310914009906974721

Prices not much we could do:

Stones-English, HG+Young

Walker-Best RB in the league (TOTY)+English

Mendy-League winner+best LB in the league(TOTY)+young

Cancelo-Back to Back TOTY+league winner

Laporte-Young+3 years deal left

Ake-HG+most valuable player+Chelsea buyback clause

Dias: young+best CB in the league+4 years left on contract

Angelino: 10m perfectly fine, this is a business deal we’ll make profit

Danilo: League+UCL+CWC+SC winner and experienced, 27m was a steal

Has he spent a lot? Yes

Has he done it for fun? No

Has he signed a player for every one he released? Yes

He inherited the oldest squad in the PL by average age he signed players because he had to let go of aging players. So stop this false narrative as if he panic buys
