Despite my growing desire to hate the mere mention of Paratici (thanks Badass) the Mercato has been great so far and he has plenty of time.

There may be ridiculous rumors about fucks like Lukaku and Icardi but until Paratici acts on something like that he doesn't deserve criticism.

He has had a LOT to do so far. He had a tough negotiation for the coach. He sold off quite a few players that helped on last years +- sheet and now has brought in a bunch of big players already. What is his total number of negotiations completed so far?
Orsolini
De Ligt
Romero
Demiral
Rabiot,
Ramsey
Pellegrini
Spinna
Sarri
Im sure there are quite a few more. Not bad for a single window but still quite a bit to go.

It's easy to spend cash and buy, it's also easy to sell out our promising players like Spina and Kean.
So far our mercato is 8/10, not perfect because our midfield section is not bolstered enough.
Not perfect because we don't have a reliable solution as LB. He ought to introduce a buy back clause for Spina, hopefully he will not fail to do the same with Kean, that would be a major mistake, at least a - 2 to our mercato.
If Sandro leaves next year, with 40-50mil we may get back Spina, but Kean can easily reach 100mil by the time CR7 retires in a couple of years.
Dybs is not that irreplaceable and could give us even more profits and salary cap relief, should we keep Higgy. But Icardi or Chiesa would be downgrades.
Cancelo is also irreplaceable, we just can't find anyone even remotely close enough to replace him.
So with a simple sale of Dybala, or swap/trade deal involving Pogbs or Isco, heck even cash for SMS, this transfer window could go up to 10/10, esp if we manage to offload Sami, Manzdu, Bonucci and/or Matuidi too and secure that buy back clause on Kean.

But there are many more traps that could totally destroy it, like selling Kean for good and get Icardi
Sell off Dybs for Chiesa
Sell off Cancelo for Hysaj
And keep the deadwood.

We still have more to lose and should be worried.
We should be worried because it's August and we have yet to sell any of the deadwood.
Paratici has sold Spina for Pellegrini, so any of the rumored downgrades that have been rumored are all possibilities that shouldn't surprise us after this epically stupid move. And the release of Benatia at the worst possible moment. He lost our trust after those moves, he has some excuses (balance accounts and Benatia upset with Max),
but he won't have any in a possible combo of Kean-Icardi deals

We must remain vigilant and wary, no time for praise just yet!

Its not that easy to buy player like De Ligt,Rabiot,And Ramsey that have a lot of competition. Also Icardi is an upgrade over Mandzukic who was the starter last year

Not many teams can afford to pay that salary, odder an easy title, decent CL presence, for Ramsey and Rabbiot we had little competition, besides CMs grow in trees and we had to wait for their contracts to expire, prolly been in talks with them for years.
De Ligt is our best transfer after CR7, but it's mostly because of our relations with Raiola, who has many great players, but not all...
Still its a v. good mercato so far, the 8/10 says that much. There are very troubling times ahead though, let's see what happens!

Kean is off to Everton and we are on a verge of Dybala Lukaku swap. Fucking Lukaku, someone who seems better fit for rugby than football, someone who has been berated by United fans all year long as to how technically inadeqate he is and for lack of movement. Are we really to expect he is a good fit for Sarri's technical one touch football? Can someone explain whats the angle here?

But but Allegri wanted to get rid of the technical players. Then there was this feud with Dybala that sealed Allegri's fate. :confused:

and with sarri, it's gonna be dybala's year they said :baus:

thing is that the coach's influence on the mercato at juve is negligible.

:lol2:

People actually believed that bullshit too.
Im starting to have serious doubts over Blondie's and double chin guy's competence. We need someone more experienced to keep these two in line. If they swap Dybala for Lukaku, the damage will be real. Sarri isnt as flexible as Max so you cant throw random dirt at his way and expect him to build something. This gonna be interesting...
