Those players had to be signed and developed, we're at a level now where we don't have that time to develop in the first team.
I'm sure there is a new Bakayoko in league 2 we can sign, but it'll be 2 years before he hits the required level.
I don't know about that, Jardim rebuilt Monaco after selling half of their first go-round at youth and it didn't slow down the club at all. And some of those like Kante, Mendy, Keita, Alderweireld were ready the first season.
Its definitely harder and more competitive to find the value but its still there.
