I see your point. However, from the surface, we seem to be paying top tier money for second tier players. They are names alright, but not the mentality.
And to make it worse, we are treated like carrots because beggars cant be choosers. So either we overpaid, stood our ground but lose an asset we desperately need, or just drag till just before window close but still pay the ransom.
Something is wrong but only change is the manager but it did not stem from him
Ole is fighting a lonely battle to keep an unified front

There is no right or wrong. Building with youngsters probably takes a longer process. But whichever way you go, you will still make mistakes.
We bought Harry Maguire for 80M. If we didn't buy, we'll be damned. When we buy, he is not worth the money. So really .... what do u want ?
Barcelona paid like 140M for Coutinho and it didn't work out for them
or Ousmane Dembele for more than 100M and he is still in the reserves.
Can we afford to go down that route ? Maybe we can .... well
