Ask yourself this. If this summer we were offered one of the best CM on the planet for 100m for 3 years, would you pull the trigger?
Buying 1 player for nearly all your budget when you have numerous needs across the squad would be madness. It is akin to what we did with MP/MH when we spent big on one or two players then ignored or went cheap on other positions of need. The budget we had was badly managed as would spending £100m on one player now.
PS another way of looking at your proposal is if he was at Man Utd, Chelsea or whoever would you pay them £100m fee to loan him for 3 years? I would not.
