Bellingham wasn't available to them, he wanted Madrid and Madrid only. Same with Rice, by all accounts he only wanted Arsenal. The better move was to simply not pay the money for Mount and target other options, instead they overpaid for mediocrity. It's funny cause you can't even say they cheaped out, in my view (and a lot of other people's) they overpaid for Mount.
