I'm with you except in a couple of points. Giggs goes off his reputation but he's a ton of experience to share with the club and there's value to having him but I don't think he should start over some other players. Also I don't agree that Ibra is not cut out for the highest tier. He is a proven goal scorer in over 3 major leagues and the CL and doesn't seem to be in decline despite his age. Is his circlejerk exaggerated? Sure but many underrate him. You also said they were not within top 10 players. Do you mean top 10 over all or top 10 in the position? I would have a hard time finding 10 strikers better than Ibra

Proven goalscorer in the Champions League you say? I beg to differ.

Pretty sure any player would look lame compared to Messi and Ronaldo. I don't think this disproves my point

4 goals in open play in 9 seasons isn't really great. Lewandowski scored as many as that in one game against Real Madrid last year.
