I thought he said 4 years ago. Not last season.
Could be. I could have interpreted it wrong.
Just goes to show what sort of players we could have gotten after we sold Luis. It was all unnecessary and for me, it culminated with the 6-1 loss at Stoke. Still irks me that! A horrific end to a stellar career for our captain as well.
The mad acquisition and pursuit of the likes Ballotelli, Lambert, Benteke.. and some others around the pitch; while we were well aware of, showed interest and were even offered the likes of Mane, Shaqiri, Van Dijk and dicked around with Salah.. and while Achterberg were waxing lyrical about an unknown lad called Allisson.
So unnecessary- the disconnect between the manager and the Committee.
In any case- it's a chapter that's closed now and we've learned from it I suppose.
