Gives mercato a 9/10, we end the season with a double + CL finalist, changes the opinion to a disaster.

Tuz really attracts all kind of weirdos.

Sounds like another fair-weather fan I know.

Why are you surprised? :p I think I'm quite fair :D

Midfield is marginally better, but I still expected more. Sturaro is still here, and we added a massive dud in De Sciglio; selling Bonucci and Alves weakened the defense, although I have high hopes for Rugani and Howedes is a good deal. We significantly improved our attacking depth, although I'm not psyched about Costa like most Tuzzers are.

Bonucci & Howedes cancel each other out. Only valid criticism IMO is Alves-MDS swap. :D

No they don't, that's BS and you know it.

There is no way this sentence would been uttered when we had Bonbon. He is at the minimum a top 3 CB, while Höwedes hardly even been a top player in his career.

How the hell was last seasons mercato a disaster? :rofl:
It wasnt a disaster however it was poor. Its not that the players he signed werent good, they were great. However they (Pjanic and Higuain) were not players that could fit right into the team. There is a reason we changed formations and our football was so poor in the first half. Thankfully Allegri is a genius.

Some of us bitch about how abismal the Mercato has been. Yet again and again at the end of the season he drags us to glory and we always thank him at the end.

That's ridiculous man. Some players need time to gel/get used to a new team and new tactics. Pjanic had a brilliant first season full of assists and free kick screamers, Higuain became a record goal-scorer in his first season here FFS. No idea where this narrative of "These players didn't fit in the team" came from. Those two, along with Dani Alves, all made significant contributions to a near treble winning season.
