Aston Villa’s summer transfer window in 16/17. Most of these players doing really well now. Sometimes you can have a strong transfer drive but if your club doesn’t provide an environment to allow players to flourish then it will be chaos.
Gueye now at PSG, Veretout at Roma, Adama Traore doing great things at Wolves, Amavi just had a strong season at Marseille. Time has shown this was an outstanding transfer window for a side in and around relegation.
Can't underestimate the importance in providing an environment that is conducive to players maximising their ability. High quality players can sometimes look a shadow of themselves, not because of their ability but because they struggle in certain environments.
