Ok then, please tell me which of the following players from that squad should still have a spot in our squad:
-Heurelho Gomes
-Alan Hutton
-Vedran Corluka
-Tom Huddlestone
-Jermain Jenas
-Roman Pavlyuchenko
-Wilson Palacios
-William Gallas
-Peter Crouch
-Jermain Defoe
-Niko Kranjcar
-Carlo Cudicini
-Jonathan Woodgate
-Steven Pienaar
-Sebastian Bassong
-Bongani Khumalo (whoops, he's still on our books)
-Stipe Pletikosa
Of course, we'd be a much more serious squad if we still had Bale and Modric, but then that picture still wouldn't look much different, would it?

Imagine how good that squad would be in night time games
Of course I didn't forget him.You forgot
Jenas
You forgot
I'd also have Corluka over Naughton...
Niko was good at LM too
Huddlestone could cover that Schneiderlin role...
Of fuck it. Bring them all back.
Pienaar never got much of a chance here but is a great little player for Everton
I missed it, but apparently Kaboul directly refused Poch's order with a gesture during one of the friendlies. Surely that's something that could be settled in an office if it isn't a part of a bigger trend, and indication of absolutely nothing.
My one overriding concern is that should neither player be signed, do we have a legitimate back up plan? Do the players who's positions were clearly being marked as 'up for grabs' now consider themselves surplus to requirements regardless of if they are bought or not? And have we shown our hand financially to other clubs?
I hope these are the two bought in but worry who will, if they aren't.
