Unless we are happy to finish 4th and aren't really intending on challenging for the league or CL.
Well this is it, in my mind finding somebody of equal standing or better isn't going to take much doing - certainly in terms of usefulness to us.

I think the second line is rather odd too; if you think selling a third choice centreback (if that now) is some kind of indicator of lacking will to aim higher then I doubt whether you'll ever truly believe we'e striving for anything else than fourth.
