If nothing else this should convince everyone, including FSG, that the slow build approach with cheap promising potentials is flawed. Many of us predicted that this approach would take too long to get results, and losing our best players would be the result.
Suppose Sturridge and Coutinho or whoever, has a blinder next season, and we don’t get CL, what would we expect to happen?... Just watch the vultures circle, and us crying out for player loyalty.... again.
FSG must abandon this flawed policy, and finance the signing of proven quality PL ready players, or barring a miracle we’re condemned to be a mid table club for the foreseeable future.
