Then 80% of our starting 11 should have also been sent in the same direction.
But hey, we have the best rooster in the world

Remove Messi and we would be like Arsenal or Man Utd.
Lol. Imagine believe that. Arsenal just presented Madrid back-up Ceballos as some sort of mega signing last summer, and we are like them.
Squad is fine (we have some positions where we can do better, but no team has quality everywhere). Manager is crap.
Players signed over the last seasons:
Highest rated player of Liverpool at the time:
Coutinho
Highest rated midfielder in South America:
Arthur Melo
Best player of direct CL and La Liga competitors Atletico:
Griezmann
Most talented and highest rated player from Dortmund at the time:
Dembele
Best midfielder in CL and best player of CL semifinalists Ajax Amsterdam:
Frenkie de Jong
One of the best talents at RB, player with multiple offers from PSG and Atletico this summer:
Nelson Semedo
One of the best rated defenders in La Liga:
Lenglet
Now suddenly, because we have a manager who is inept at coaching these players and giving them proper instructions and a clear role in the team, we are like Arsenal squad wise.
