Our sells have been questionable to say the least. The buying of Zaza is insulting, and the lack of an AM which was requested from day one leaves a lot to be desired. Khedira is a mystery.
Dybs, Sandro, Mandzu and cuadrado the bright spots.

plan a was goatze, but that didnt work
plan b was draxler, but that didnt work
plan c was goatz again, still didnt work
then mikhitaryan, that didtn work
then raxler again, still not working.
then cuadrado becomes available. and he is signed. great. except he is not even the second choice target.
and this coming from someone who prefers 4-3-3 to 4-3-1-2
Nah, we would have moved for Cuadrado as soon as there was any sniff, we've had a hard on for him for some time. That's why he is called an 'opportunity' rather than any kind of plan or option.
Likewise Götze falls into the same category, whereas Draxler has been a plan for some time. We can't sign a player like Götze if all is going well at Bayern, just as we wouldn't have got Cuadrado if he was doing well at Chelsea. But Draxler is not that level as an individual or the club he's at, but he's still difficult to prize away. He's the sort of player who moves if the money is right, because Juventus are simply bigger than Schalke.
