We can't replace Gary Speed - where do you get an experienced player like him with a left foot and a head?
It's not good to have so many key players injured, but there is no point complaining about it.
I was not happy when we lost Morgan Schneiderlin, Nat Clyne and other players of that quality at Southampton.
I know how it goes. Six or seven months ago I was the manager of the year and I was going to be this and that, tactically this and tactically that, and now, because we have lost two world-class players, I am useless. But I accept that.
I've been watching basketball for a long time, I'm a historian of the game. I don't know any other team that's gotten to the Finals without two All-Stars... I cannot remember thinking of it. I don't even know if it's ever happened, for a team to lose two All-Stars and still be able to make it to the Finals.
It's a disappointment to lose key players. On the other hand it creates an opportunity to play other players.
We'll have all the same players... We'll be missing one, actually.
It's always an emotional blow when you lose any guy, let alone a guy like Le'Veon Bell.
Two of the most difficult parts of our business is trades and when a player leaves.
When you lose a good player, it's like losing a quarterback.
I always believe that there are players that are hard to replace.
I believe first of all it's always a disappointment to lose the players at an important moment of the season.
It's not easy when you lose Flamini, Hleb, Senderos, Gilberto, and Lehmann. When you lose all these players - and Flamini, for me, was the best player last year - it's really difficult to compete against Chelsea, Man United, or Liverpool.
It's unfortunate to lose guys in their rookie year.
Nobody wants to give up good players.
The challenge coaches face is replacing players they were counting on to be major pieces of a puzzle. In a lot of cases, there is just no way to make the necessary adjustments.
Who wants to lose or sell a player? Nobody does.
It's always tough when you see a good player leave. It's not easy.
The last thing you want to see is your great players in the press box or in the locker room.
If your best offensive players go down, all you can do is hang on.
If you lose a player who scores seven, eight, or nine goals, you have to find another one.
Always, you miss all the players when they are injured.
I think it's normal that you will lose players if you don't play every season in the Champions League, because that's the intention for every player to be part of that.
It's not great to lose your best players.
I've always felt that 'game over' is a state of failure more for the game designer than from the player.
