OK, well theoretically I believe that we are moving in the right direction. We have to cut our cloth accordingly as the owners were never going to splurge like they did before.
But we do need a top quality midfielder and CB in my opinion. In a perfect world Real Madrid or someone else abroad would spunk 50 mill on Suarez and we could buy two good players. As a team without European football and no chance of winning the title we can only attract certain players, so getting in young, hungry ones seems a good plan.
Hope tells me we have a shot at 4th if we don't sell Suarez to Arsehole FC. Pessimism tells me we will be 10 points off 4th by Christmas.
I believe the strategy should change over a few years. We need to get back into the CL to attract the better players for a better chance to win the PL. It's got to be a mix of youth from the Academy and experienced players. So I reckon selling Agger at this moment is a no-no. Anything above 20 million for him now is a good price but not what we need now (besides we've just made a big point over loyalty and respect, so it works both ways).

So go for 4th but with the youngsters taking quite a lot of the key positions supplemented by older players, to keep them grounded and provide the experience during difficult times.
