Maybe you should twist the question into; do we really need as much as you're wishing for when we're 6x Serie A Champs & CL finalists?
And btw; Bayern & Real have absolute gold on their bench... They're even selling a bench player for 80/90 million now. Bench or not should never ever be a sufficient arguement tbh. Pirlo was a bench player in a much weaker team, Tevez was as well, Morata was, etc. etc.
Yeah except we lost half of our starting back 4 and Milan and Liverpools bench does in fact not have gold on it.
Please don't compare the likes of MDS to Pirlo and Tevez. Morata was talented enough Madrid forced a buy back on us too.
I was all for keeping our starting XI in tact and buying a winger and a midfielder. But our defence has just taken a MASSIVE hit and we've yet to do anything about it because we're reluctant to meet anybodies asking price.
I get optimism, but fuck me this Summer has been dogshit and almost everybody can see it. You can be optimistic about how it will end but for the love of god don't put a positive spin on selling Bonucci to our rivals for a pittance, losing Alves for free because of a hissy fit and replacing them with so far nobody, and MDS.
