In a part of one season in the last decade we were overrun in defence and midfield.
That period coincided with our worst period for injury and illness during Pep's tenure.
It also came after achieving an unprecedented fourth title in four years.
I believe that the idea that we suddenly need even more dramatic change over-emphasised.
We will see the return of the winner of the Ballon d'Or and the return of Oscar Bobb, without doing anything else.
To that, we have added the Bundeliga's leading forward (Marmoush).
An attacking midfielder described as one of only two magicians in French football.
A gifted midfielder - player of the season for a historic European club.
A central defender boasting some of the best U23 stats in the world's top leagues.
I could go on.
We have also changed much of the coaching setup.
There are still three weeks left in the transfer window.
Just enjoy the ride.
