No, it wouldn't. Unless we fail to address our pathetic fullback situation yet again.

Totally unbelievable. Change has to start from the top. If the BOD don't aim high, then the players don't need to perform beyond what's expected of them. Even if the team can't realistically compete for the scudetto, why are they setting the bench mark for CL qualification? If the team only focused on winning the scudetto, problems or not we wouldn't ever have to discuss whether the team would qualify for europe.
You are definitely right, only losers set a CL spot as a target, look at Napoli, do they have any better squad than ours? and they are competing for scudetto. It's definitely the mentality.
That's true, but these shouldn't happen anymore in these decades, it's not like we are competing against super powers (financial wise) like Chelsea, and both Manchester clubs in the same league. I would agree with what you have said, if the failure we are talking about happening in CL, but no, we have quality players, and not very superior opponents to compete, and yet we are standing from sixth to ninth places..

I wholeheartedly agree. If i could choose between getting two good fullbacks as to getting my favorite player Benzema, he'd have to take the back seat in this one. We need to set our priorities in order, we can't move forward if the defense isn't stable. What's the point of paying that sort of money for a player that could potentially score 2 goals per game when our defense will let in 4 goals per game?
Exactly, the team is what is important. I don't want a repeat of last season when the board bought two big players (Felipe Melo and Diego) and then had nothing to spend on the team so we saw Grosso enter the Juventus set up. I think the current board has learned from the mistakes of Secco/Blanc, but they're paying the price of not having CL qualification.
I don't rate Pastore anywhere close to €40m either, I actually wouldn't go over €20-25m if Palermo were asking.
