I agree with you. Xavi proved that you don't need star players to build a strong squad. Leverkusen's squad does not have any star players. However, they are still unbeaten in the Europa League and Bundesliga. The team is ahead of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Xabi's match strategy is excellent. Xabi has managed to create a friendly relationship between Leverkusen's players. The understanding between the players is very good. This is why Leverkusen's performance has been so strong this season. In every match we see the dominance of Leverkusen players.

Leverkusen are favorites to win the Bundesliga this season. No player is bigger than the club, and the coach is available to make things happen really quick. Xabi Alonso have proven and clear the doubts of everyone that's keen on their clubs to sign big names in upcoming transfer window. A brilliant coach doesn't need any of these big names in his club, what he needs are serious and competitive players that will play football with everything they have and not some random big name that doesn't know how to trap ball in the 18 yard box and also doesn't want stress of pursuing his opponents on the pitch.

Xabi is keen to strengthen his squad. Due to the strong bonding between the team players, the Leverkusen team has been able to consistently perform well in every match. Now if Xabi adds more talented players to the squad then there is no doubt that the Leverkusen side will become even stronger. Perhaps Xabi also wants to strengthen his bench team. As a result, Leverkusen will have a viable replacement even if a player is injured. And their overall performance will not deteriorate. But I doubt if the Leverkusen management will raise big funds in the winter transfer window. Usually Bundesliga teams don't spend a lot of money building squads.
