People at the start of the season were saying the we would struggle as we shipped out them players, but what people failed to mention was that we replaced them with better players, Carroll with Ba, who scored just as much goals as Carroll when he was at Hoffenheim and West Ham, Nolan with Cabaye who was one of the best players of Ligue 1 last season, Enrique with Santon who is meant to be a Hot prospect, the only player I would say the we didn't replace was Barton but we had Ben Arfa coming back at the time he left. It was just the media jumping on the fact that we let them leave,and i for one am thrilled that we proved them wrong.
