Chelsea bought Chilwell for 45 mil quid plus few add ons. City were put off with the price tag that Leicester had put.
It ended with Chelsea winning their 2nd champions league in 10 years.
Liverpool bought Van Dijk for 75 mil quid. City were put off with the price tag that Southampton had put.
It ended with Liverpool reaching 2 successive champions league finals and winning it a year later.
The squad is desperate for a proper left back and people will try to mask it by saying Pep has worked his magic and has won the league 4 times in 5 years. Pep is the GOAT. He's won the league with bang avg players like Delph, Zinchenko, Mendy at that position. However the truth is, city have done fantastic business this window and earned loads of cash. Sometimes it's better to just go ahead and plug the gap because it will be worth it.
