With the money we splashed out on Zappacosta, Drinkwater and Palmieri (if the deal goes through) we could have easily bought Alex Sandro. Zappacosta is average, Emerson isn´t much better and Drinkwater is actually a decent player, but injury prone and Conte also doesn´t trust him that much for some reason. Alex Sandro is great player and would elevate our game immediately. Just think how great he could link up with Hazard on the left. He is also better than Alonso defensively.
City bought some great, athletic wingbacks and this upped their game this season.
