Still think that his work last summer wasn’t that bad. Motta seemed like a good choice and still has enough time to have an acceptable season. Individually most signings are good players, honestly often when I see our line-up I don’t dislike it, it’s more Motta who’s failing there. Only Di Gregorio seems like a very unnecessary signing, they’ve underestimated Perin’s qualities.
Other signings like Luiz; personally I haven’t given up on him yet. 3 months aren’t enough for definitive conclusions especially when he wasn’t available for most of the time, while his injury record at Aston Villa wasn’t alarming.
Starting the season with no Vlahovic back-up (or is Nico that?) and underestimating Milik’s injury proved to be a mistake.
I think that we often kinda live in the moment here, it took him years to build a winning Napoli side, and we just came out of a horrible situation with the finances being in the red for years, plus all the legal problems, obviously the recovery won’t be a one season miracle.
Im worried about selling too much youth for short-term gains though. The Cabal/Huijsen situation is very ugly, even if the finances are explainable. Wouldn’t like the same with Mbangula or Fagioli.
