The real, more considered replacement will now be introduced during the pre season window. I'm afraid that's part of football.
Selling a player who wanted to leave and had six months to go is and always will be smart business at our level.

We knew in the summer he wanted to go and imo 4 months is enough time to track a replacement who is ready for league football.

If you lose a key player which he was you need to replace him properly as results are likely to slip.

We hope we have a replacement but we might not play the same system this season who knows.
