We could have, but we went Bruno, Maguire, Varane and Sancho... Who have improved us and will make us better... Nothing to do with Mata or Grant as you keep mentioning.
I know this get's mentioned on every other page in this thread but, yes, he's a good to very good player, but how could anyone justify us spending 100 million, on TOP of what we have already paid this summer?! He plays in two of our most productive positions already, there is absolutely no justification at all for bringing him in when we have a few more things to do.
Goal scorers I get. Van Persie wasn't needed but a genuine goal scorer is worth their weight in gold. A play maker when you already have one of the most prductive in the league, maybe not so much...
As for City and Grealish. I expect them to win the league and one of Dias, De Bruyne, Grealish or Sterling to win POTY because of it.
