How about Tottenham this season and the squad they've built using money selling one player. They've broken their signing record 3 times this summer and are looking like title contenders, even without their talisman.
Selling: -Gareth Bale for £78 to £86 million (not yet finalised)
-Parker, Huddlestone, Caulker for £20 million
Buying: -Erik Lamela as a direct replacement for Bale(upgrade some might argue) for £30 million
-Roberto Soldado for £26m
-Paulinho for £17m
-Etienne Capoue for £9
-Vlad Chiriches for $8.5
-Nacer Chadli for $7
THAT ladies and gentlemen is how to rebuild a sports franchise.

Well, I think you have to wait and see how all of these new players click. Typically it takes a couple of seasons for the squad to gel when you bring in a bunch of new guys.
Some great signings on paper though, I would definitely agree. It must be an exciting time to be a Spurs supporter. I wish we could turn Suarez into a half dozen quality new signings at Liverpool.
