Oh well, if we get him it won't be so bad, but a totally underwhelming signing. Nzonzi and Costa aren't exactly what I had in mind after our dismantling in the CL Final, especially in a year when we came so close to achieving the treble (yet again).
Let's hope we get Coulibaly from Pescara, and that both him and Bentacur turn into beasts, and that Pjaca becomes a WC player upon returning from his injury. Since we aren't getting the likes of FabinhO, Mbappe, and Sanchez, we can hope that our young guns can compensate for our lack of quality compared to the big guns.
A mercato of Costa, Nzonzi, Schick, Keita, and De Sciglio hardly strikes me as one for a CL finalist and potential perennial contender.
