If you go by this way khedira should have been sold after cardif and matuidi shouldn't have been bought .

Khedira was fantastic in 2017 and still relatively good (especially in big games) in 2018. But you could feel it during and after the Madrid games that it was a 'last dance' kind of form from him. That summer was the it's time to move on moment.
Matuidi is a tricky one, we needed midfield reinforcements, that was evident after Cardiff (and we saw the following season in Madrid how much difference he made). Were there better options and should we have tried for different players, that's another topic, but last summer was the time to move on from him. We signed Can the previous summer and added Ramsey, Rabiot, with his sale we could have maybe afforded a different younger player that would help our rebuild being more smooth and outstretched, not forcing us into a more drastic one now.
But these 2 are smaller issues, the big one was Higuain. Failing to sell him when Ronaldo arrived hurt us more than anything

Messi wants to leave Barca apparently. I would to see him at Napoli.
Hopefully Maradona buys the club and convinces him
