More to the unanswered point, why do believe any of the unsubstantiated waffle you produce.
There's not a shred of evidence, nor a single word uttered from Poch to support that the club didn't want to, try to, or failed to sign a player. There's quite a bit pointing out Poch didn't want to sign anyone for the sake of it
e.g. this from the man himself
Keep wondering about both matters. Maybe the light will shine. Maybe not.

We will be signing....Kyle Walker-Peters in the next 2 weeks....as he is out of contract at Southampton... to satisfy home grown players for C/L rules...... you heard it here....
That was a fantastic interview with Pleat.
Somebody on TFC said Eze was City bound.
I genuinely thought people have been trolling all this time when they said we didn't make signing because of Levy, it was a massive thing at the time and well known that Poch didn't want any players in 2018, I didn't actually think people truly believed anything else haha
It wasn't Hoddle actually, it was Redknapp who confirmed it

11 goals in 34 last year
This is what we mean by the club being opportunistic rather than aggressively pursuing targets like other big clubs.
Had they not been relegated, we'd be nowhere near it.
So blatantly ENIC
Never heard of him and never heard anyone mention him tbf.
Lyon relegated of course levy wants a cheap deal
Yep, it was obvious we would be all over Lyon like flies around shit
Meh, poor mans kulusexy anyway...and old. We don't like or want old players here
Lucas Moura signed 31stJanuary 2018
Tanguy Ndombele signed 2nd July 2019
517 days between those dates. I'll let you work out how many months that is.
All that Levy loving has gone to your head.
Just saying that to cover the failings of the club isn't he?
No manager could ever think for himself - they do what puppet master Levy want them to do.
Sure they say they're happy but Steve on Twitter says their eyes give them away.

I recall him being a bit sulky about players like Nkoudou being signed by our transfer genius Mitchell, and spent a long time going on about how it was really difficult to move out players who he didn't want in the squad. As noted, we had a full squad for 2018/19 and his opinion at the time seemed to be that he only wanted to sign players that would go straight into the first team because he didn't want to leave players out of the squad registration if they weren't adding anything.
("If we cannot improve our squad it's better to keep it together.")
The trouble seemed to be that he was hell bent on certain players that weren't available at that time, like Ndombele.
("It's not about adding because it's fashionable to sign players. [It's about] if you really need [them] or not and then if you can get your target or not.)
Bearing in mind we got to a CL final after not changing the team, you have to wonder why people obsess over it so negatively. Liverpool just won the PL title after basically adding no one to the team.
Well if you want to be technical, that's 17 months not 18.
But if you're being a total pedant, then that's like saying any club that doesn't make a winter transfer window signing goes a year without signing anyone.
No one says that though because it's mental. Nice bingo card for the insult though
