A serious point

I guess one very important thing must also be pointed out: we're talking only about the replacement of departed pieces, not about really reinforcing the side. Let's see:

Stamn - Bonera: ok, replacement did.

Rui Costa - Gourcuff: ok, replacement did.

Shevchenko - ... Borrielo?!?: replacement NOT DID.

And even if we manage to replace Schevchenko with a great striker (something tha unfortunately I'm not believing anymore...), we won't have a reinforced side, as we have only replaced departed players... so we will continue with a tremendously old squad, and with very little squad depth... what in fact could be fixed only if we get, besides a replacement for Shevchenko, at least a new all around midfielder and a new attacking RB... well, is there any signs that we are at least trying to do that? Oh, what a wonderful season is waiting for us...
