They haven't. But that's normal, sometimes you take risk as a manager that your first 11 that have regularly outplayed just about anybody (other than Barca) will be able to keep things going while Asensio, Vazquez and the other young guys could drop in for rotation. But that couldn't even take place, because things fell apart at the first hurdle. These things take shape in certain order really.
Morata was let go because he has his priorities. Nor is he that calibre yet, he gets moody as fuck and needs babysitting.
James is a star of a different mould, more Beckham-like. Didn't fit in between the current group of Spanish young wolves.
In short, I think the temptation is very high to not change much when you have a great season, but both Madrid and Barca have been insisting with basically the same world class squads for roughly 7-8 years, with some minor changes here and there. The Barca squad was a little older (Basically Alves, Iniesta, Xavi, Villa, Puyol etc. were a little older than your stars Ramos, Marcelo, Benzema etc.) which is why we proceeded first to freshen up the team.
Issue is some of the signings didn't work, both for us, and Madrid, so we ended up trying to get more from the regulars, delaying the change of generations. But that time came for Barcelona, and they are starting to change the lines in all areas, and Madrid next summer will have to do the same, and will have to spend big just like we did.
