You mean like the fact that the Pogba deal took Utd all of last summer's transfer window to conclude?
Or the Stones deal that took City rather a lot of last summer to conclude?
Or the numerous centre backs Chelsea tried to sign before settling on Luiz last summer?
Or, to be more exotic, how Real spent all summer chasing De Gea and then actually missing out on him, the year before?
Or the way we had Xhaka in the bag before the Euros?
Almost like all clubs take some time over deals and do some immediately, us included.
We ummed and ahhed about Mustafi's fee for over a month. Resulting in our only two fit CBs being Chambers and Holding at the start of the season. That is poor. Not blaming Arsene as I don't think he makes the decisions on finances.
We also signed Lucas Perez at the end which was pointless as he was clearly never going to be a top PL player. He is 30 next year.

Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Siva, Big Foot Silva, David Silva....f uk them all imo
Heard a interesting story about Xhaka which might apply to Perez.
From Liam Brady...Xhaka is immense and right up there with Vieira but the senior players in the team don't respect him so when he's driving the team forward he often gets ignored.
Natural leader.
The younger players all love him.
Probably the same with Perez...his workrate, tracking back and overall drive is right up there but he's probably finding it difficult with some of the arse holes at the club.
