We don't have money to replace him with a superior player. We should focus on signing all the loans we have as they are doing a hell of a job.
Regardless if Gatti will start or not, I would prefer Veiga to Hancko based on what I've seen from Veiga so far. Haven't seen Hancko play at all but he can't be that good if he's playing in the Dutch league at 27.

Gatti should never be a starter for a serious and ambitious club. I appreciate his grinta and "leadership" but he's still a donkey and not good enough technically to be marshalling the defense. Oh, and please let's stop the comparisons with Chiellini - there are none.
The media is good at creating hype around transfers. They generate rumors to gain view as it's a specific type of marketing and give rise to income for them. This guy is 27 yrs and he has consistently played for mediocre teams, suddenly becomes the first subject of the media after just a few games. Liverpool is also after him which makes complex circumstance to sign him.
There's plenty of players out there who play for mediocre clubs and then turn out awesome. One thing's for sure he has bags of experience, and very good at man to man marking, but still, buy whoever's cheaper out of Hancko and Veiga.
Can play LB and can defend (according to you guys) - It should be a definite signing. Cambiasso is too weak defensively to play LB on the long term and he is probably off to City in the summer anyway.
But.. Veiga? I wasnt that impressed by him. I mean he is ok but he isnt a revelation of any kind. I rather see us spend on that Flamingo guy - I saw him in our games against PSV and he is pretty good.
