You can't blame the media for that. Even if we agree that the media have spuriously linked us to players in the past even though we weren't interested, that's beside the point. If anything it makes things worse, at least if we were attempting to properly supplement the squad with quality players, you could argue we knew there was a problem and were trying to fix it. If it's true that we were never in for Mata, Alonso, Cahill, that shows an even greater disregard for improving the squad.
