Right Sometimes
Were we not in for him the summer after Leicester won the title? I seem to remember we were linked to him & later that summer Xhaka was signed.
No, you're right.
Pretty sure there even were clear indications that he would've come here over Chelsea.
It was the darkest transfer window of them all, for me personally.
We've basically been the best team in the league except for a one season wonder Leicester.
We could've build on that headstart on Chelsea, ManU, ManCity and all others who've been going through a transition phase, but we decided to go for the cheap solution once again.
Even with Xhaka, it wasn't that much of a risk buying Kante as well for 30m. That guy has basically been the best DM in the world in that season and the trend for inflationary player prices was already there to be seen.
We could've spend 50-60 million more back then to get Kante and some other promising younster in as well to stuff all holes and could've dominated the league the year after.
My heart is still bleeding when thinking of this..
