Yes include yet to be paid add ons to further your point.
But to be fair VDB and Pellistri are perhaps two signings we didn't need to make. 50 million could have either gone to help funding Sancho or a starter in another area of the pitch. Amad and Telles were both good purchases. Telles purely for strengthening the squad and making Shaw become arguably the best LB in the league and Amad has already shown that he has an unreal level of potential and we had to get in there before anyone else.
Even without add ons we’ve already spend around 87m, if includes add on its could potentially go up to 107m. And that’s all our money spend during this COVID market since Sancho sega last summer. And that money could as well buy you a Sancho.
You are free to speculate how good they would become in future, but up to this point, they are all bench options for us with minimal impact/contribution. So, maybe to you 4 bench player with potential is better than 1 Sancho. But not for me.
Regarding Diallo, I think once we’ve bought Sancho, his game time will be further limited. I actually think he should go on a loan to develop his game for his own good, if we get Sancho this summer, as he would at best only be our 3rd choice RWF anyway (assume we sold James)
