Btw I was thinking and looking at Wolfsburg and the way they have improved over the last few years, and their star signings (Luiz Gustavo, De Bruyne, Schurrle) and how they've reached a pretty decent level.
Would it be impossible for us to do something like that? Doing some smart big signings, that improve the overall level of our squad? They don't seem to adress a lot of different things at the time, just focus on one and cover it pretty well. And honestly, we have a way better team than them, our base is way more solid and of a higher level than theirs, maybe our team would take a bigger benefit from doing something like that, just look at them trashing Bayern 4-1.
I'm not sure about the wages of those guys, or how do their sistem works. But I very much doubt they're *that* much ahead of us that we can't even afford to do something like that.
And I'm not against these somewhat expensive (Morata & Berardi) young signings, and I totally love our freebies (Pogba & Coman), but we're not that far behind Europe's elite teams, maybe 2 or 3 signings is what puts us appart from there.
