I think we could alleviate many problems by buying Mangala, Fernando, and a player like Hazard. We're still short that unpredictable spark who can turn a game on it's head at a moments notice, and it's no reason our football and thus our entire season follows predictable familiar patterns. That wouldn't require a huge outlay but would address a few major shortfalls.
If we're considering the departure of anyone in the squad who's either not good enough or doesn't have the stones for it, I highly doubt we can do that in one summer. You're talking about switching out as many as 8-10 players which will all but guarantee another 'transitional season' (Something I think we could have pushed further in the summer just gone but deliberately ceased for this very reason).
