I hope this is the case. But like Ronaldo this is also a big risk.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm still thrilled about this happening. Let's hope he really delivers. Morata heading out the other door also makes today even better.
Ronaldo got paid 30 mil net/year though. And we were his last big club. He was a win now move that we were never going to be able to sell for much in the future. This guy, at best gonna get in the 7 mil net range. And he’s still 21 (well, 22 in a few days). There is risk, but this is the kind of risk we should be taking. Moves like this and Chiesa and Locatelli.
I think we need a lot more than that. Vlahovic can only score with the service he's given, or the mistakes made by the opposition. I really hope we don't sell MDL, but still think we might. Bonucci and Chiellini are too old, Sandro is useless, Chiesa is out for a long while, the midfield is still poor, and the Dybala situation is up in the air. We have a long ways to go, honestly.
here’s the thing tho, a lot of our expensive jabronis are coming off the books within the next year or two. As long as they avoid making more idiotic investments like that, they should be ok. Another reason why the youth movement is the way to go. Guys like Rovella will be cheap and probably produce more.
Rovella and Fagioli in, Arthur and Ramsey out for next year, please. And if we move Bentancur or Mckennie too, make a big splash on a slightly more experienced CM.
Wouldn't completely surprise me if Kean starts against Verona. Allegri very rarely throws new signings straight in, even Higuain started his first game from the bench and he was an experienced player that we paid 100m for.
