A few elite ones have, but by and large no they haven't at all, another poster agreed with me and even expanded the point to include Italians. Why don't you list of all these amazing Dutch success stories then?

Excellent news. Fair play to the lad as well.
I am still astounded we didn't use all of our loans. Chelsea has 29 first team players. That means 4 will not be registered. You're telling me something couldn't have been worked out there?
Paul Rideout

This is the worst part of the window for me. We could have loaned 2 players from PL teams… Chelsea have way too many players
I was pondering the same thing but I did notice if they were offering loans for players they wanted a substantial fee which would deterred our impoverished club
Same with forest having an excessive amount of players
That's an average of 26mil per season.
Absolute chicken feed over the 8 year period.
It's the "other" costs ( wages & managers compensation) that have hamstrung us.

We’ve spent around £37m, and brought in £70m in sales this summer (including Kean, and forgetting about Gordon in January).
We’ve also shifted minimum £750k pw wages out, with approx. £535k pw wages coming in. The incoming wages includes Dele (£100k pw) and Gomes (£120k pw) returning, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see either or both leave very soon. Gray will probably go too.
Net gain of approx £35m and £200k pw off the wage bill.
We’ve really cut out the deadwood from the squad, with only Dele and Gomes being effectively worthless, and costing us serious cash. Even Keane and Holgate hold some value. It’s huge progress for the club.
Our options in attack are much stronger than last season. We’ve effectively got a better McNeil, Harrison, Beto, Chermiti, DCL, Dobbin. Midfield is okay, Onana has a lot of growing to do as does Garner and I think we’ll see major improvement from both of them.
The problem is that we’ve left ourselves very short in quality in defence. Mina was our best centre back when fit. If Branthwaite becomes a monster its a game changer but as it stands we have one of the worst defences in the league on paper.
The club’s made a huge gamble, which could transform us positively if we can stay up this season (we should, as thankfully Sheff Utd, Luton, Wolves and Bournemouth are all worse than us). Time will tell.

Plus wages. Paying the likes of Keane Iwobi, Gylfi, Holgate, Sandro silly money each week.
We'll see about that in an hour or so...
Whereas it's been a total farce on the pitch when it comes to the pre-Sean/Kev Moshiri stewardship I think we ought to look at the bigger picture. We have a sparkling new stadium on the horizon that, whoever initially provided the funds, will be our new, wonderful home for generations to come.

Honestly not bothered about the stadium while we are an embarrassment on and off the field. Its a huge distraction we don't need right now.

I do like the improvement in our forwards and wide players. But Leicester had decent strikers (Nachos), winger (Barnes), creative midfielder (Maddison), breaker up of play (Tielemans), plus the young lad with the posh surname etc.
They had a handful of atrocious centre backs, littered with errors and also struggled to find a combination of 2 of them that could at least be competent.
If we go down it will due to exactly the same reason (but also without the creative midfielder).
