But did we all underestimate what the squad were capable of? What they were capable of achieving. Only kidding. It was a smashing season and it's very easy to move the goalposts and want more. We should remember what we expected back in August last year.
Yeah I guess, although 3 of those are or were clearly signed as stop gaps that might be worth keeping while Alderweireld and Clasie were pretty well-known and established internationals not hidden gems. We'll see who else comes in this summer but the biggest spending since Koeman arrived has been on the players I listed before that he wouldn't have worked with or against. Long, Mane, Forster, and Bertrand I guess.
