Well I did post a few days ago in the Coman thread that I won't be 'very happy with his sale.

But €28m for a glorified youth player is a crazy sum imo.

I think he's talented and I do rate him but my issue was we weren't utilizing him properly.If we insist to play him the same way we do then it's better to sell him.And we did.
:tup:

I still think Thibaut and KDB are uglier...cant remember what KDBs ex looked like.

Throughout this Mercato, and the one previous, I've been apathetic. Even when we signed Dybala and Mandzukič, guys I rate, I hardly become ecstatic. When we sold one of my all time favorite players, El Rey Arturo, it didn't even register as a slight annoyance. Why the disconnect? It's because I've been through this shit of annual Mercato chaos for about 6 years now. In that time I've found that the "success" or "failure" of our moves is best evaluated at seasons end, which is why I hardly get bothered joining these pointless debates.

Also, I remember the Secco years. That was the lowest ebb this club has endured in it's history. Since then our club has been rejuvenated from the top down, from management through to the players. Our coffers are in a much better state than half a decade ago and we have increased turnover year on year. We are the ONLY club in the peninsula to own our stadium, a stadium that shouldn't take long to pay off in my understanding. Point being, we've been through a lot worse, and as far as I am concerned, we got the Italian game on lock down baby.

Love how he constantly proves his doubters wrong. He cant sign top players(as if pirlo, vidal, pogba weren't enough),he signs Tevez. He refuses to spend more than 18m on a player, signs Morata. He refuses to spend more than 20m on a player...he signs mandzukic, sandro, dybala, and potentially draxler. He cant sell...is about to get 70m combined from Bayern. :lol:
He does amazing signs, no doubt about that but he made mistakes too.

It's amusing how people can change their speech to approve anything he does. Statements like thank god we sold Vidal for 37m cuz he was over (as if you are gonna find anyone like him for even 40m), paid 18m for Zaza and then get rid of Llorente (if you do the math, it would something like if we gave Llorente plus 18m for Zaza).

In the other hand, sign Dybala, Mandzukic, AS, Cuadrado, Khedira, Neto, Rugani and maybe an AM would be awesome.

For instance Allegri. Last game he did very weird choices and if you say at loud it doesn't mean you are against him.

:lol: good luck getting them to admit that. And if they do it'd be through gritted (forum) teeth. And then the next day it'll be back to insulting him and shitting on every single move we do or don't do.
If it's an outright buy for 28M, it would be great, but not to ruin that on fucking Draxler. Seriously man, you're acting like Zach now who can't read.

Here we go, now you're automatically ripping into the Draxler transfer :lol: One of the best young German talents, like it or not. Great transfer.
I have always been skeptical about Draxler, but now that we actually have money, you know, 28M, why won't we aim for someone who would give us better guarantees?

Isco... I'd love to see us put a 60 mil bid in for Isco. And that kind of bid might be of interest.

If our best front 3 this year is Draxler behind Morata and Dybala. That's a ridiculously young and unproven attack... I'd much prefer or more established CAM to hep Morata and Dybala continue to grow, and to take some of the pressure off them.
