January 2017 transfer window

Cohesion in terms of transfer targets would be a first. We often target certain types of players in January, fail to complete a deal for whatever reason and then come the summer, those players are no longer on the radar even if they're still at the same club, and our targets and eventual signings don't even fit the same profile of player. Case in point: Alex Teixeira. Both Mane and Wijnaldum have different attributes to the Brazilian.

 

Cohesion within the same transfer window has been an issue in the past too. The most glaring example being to target Sanchez as a replacement for Suarez (which wasn't a bad call given the Chilean's style of play) and when that deal failed to materialise, choosing between Eto'o and Balotelli instead.
