Prob because we were mainly after Aouar as our number one target and perhaps it was too late in the day to get Beundia. Don’t forget the Aouar saga lasted till almost the last day of the window.
Makes sense but if my memory serves me correctly, we were looking to pay circa £40m for Aouar, which is likely what we'd have to pay for Buendia now.
Can't help but feel it's another example of a poor transfer strategy particularly given the dearth in creativity we suffered for much (or even all!) of last season.
Not really sure if that's the case.
We had a CB signing as a priority.
Beyond that people seem to think we were loaded with cash.
The reality is we had to sell players.
We have to maximize the value of square pegs and get the players we need.
Willock had a great loan and his stock is at an all time high. Comes back as a bit part player and his value will go down again. AMN too.
Norwich had already sold Godfrey and only sell at the right price which is why Max Aarons, Todd Cantwell and buendia all stayed.
