Have we signed anyone who has performed better in there positions? Scratch that, forget Salah because he's been a complete waste of money but Mkhitaryan and Willian would have added a sizable more strength to the squad IMO. Seem like the sort of players who would flourish for us.
You would hope they would flourish for us - thing is how much we should expect for sinking 30-35 million plus 120k pw wages on them.
Chelsea, Man City, United, PSG and so on are in a position where they can spend that kind of cash on taking a risk. Im not saying Mkhitaryan and Willian aren't good players but, for us, would they be good enough for the money? I'm not sure they would.
For that kind of outlay we would be looking for Suarez / Sanchez / Aguero / Costa levels of performance - ideally with a good injury record. All those players we were in for at about the right price.
