I am totally at peace with this - we are in an incredible position and what I would hate to see happen to us would be the "storing up" of trouble - look at what is coming down the line (in terms of the amount of turnover of playing staff required) for a side like Barcelona - I would much rather re-invigorate the side when it's appropriate, akin to how Ferguson did with United every 4-5 years.
Will miss whoever goes, whenever they go, but we can not stand still and allow other clubs to catch up.
I think we need to start bringing players in for some positions, we have to remember the current squad are still improving and evolving, and it's taken 3 years of these lads playing together to get to their current level. I think times have changed and I don't think as we play we can bring in players 'off the peg' to replace any of our best 14 or 15 players, I think we have to get those players in starting this summer to contribute immediately, but also at a good age to be approaching their 5 year peak in 2 to 3 years time and it's important we develop them into the team and mentality with the support of the lads we have now, especially for midfield and forwards
