Well we didn't and lamenting the fact ain't gonna change it, we are 3rd which though disapointing isn't the end of the world and have 3 cup competitions to complete for.
Not replacing Kompany was a mistake, we have suffered from it (because of laporte loss) but we just brush ourselves off and plan for the future.
I for one can live with the situation and trust the club to sort it out, it could be a lot worse.
It's not about changing the past but learning from those lessons. We now face a situation where we'll struggle to offload certain players and that's because of the fee attached to them; if we're more astute and pragmatic in the future so we don't have a repeat situation.
I get where you're coming from and I'm generally able to brush it off because it's the peaks and troughs of football; to expect 3 PLs back to back to back was a ridiculous thing to hope for in the first place. I just hope in future transfer windows we can alter our strategy slightly so we can marry our signings of high value with more pragmatic moves e.g. the Zinchenko's of the world.
