This is probably the dumbest of the arguments made by the net spenders. They are here and have helped bring the team to the top of the mountain. We cannot travel to an alternate world where Coutinho doesn't ask for a transfer and get to see how it all plays out.
Net spenders can't be happy that we got Alisson and Van Dijk, they have to by cynical about it.
Listen, if you can't be honest and answer the question then there's no reason to discuss the topic and no reason for you to respond. It's an honest and reasonable question. I think I know your answer which is why you are being evasive. You know for a fact had we not sold Coutinho we wouldn't have had VVD AND Alli.
And I'm not cynical at all, I'm happy we got rid of Phil and got VVD and Alli. They literally played the biggest part in helping us win CL and the League, I don't think there's any denying that. Had we kept Phil and not had one or the other of those two, likely we wouldn't have won either.
I would do that trade all over again 10 times if offered 10 times. I just think it's funny that whenever people bring up sell to buy or sell to cover, people want to jump off a cliff to "defend" FSG when they've clearly said themselves "the club will only spend what it makes". That's literally what sell to buy is.
