Romulo has nothing to do with Coman; one is CM/RB/RWB, while the other one is winger. Marrone is not good enough, not even for a bench and therefore he'll be gone very soon.
All in all solid mercato so far, 7/10. If we manage to get Lavezzi for the attack/wings, or player of that profile, someone able to beat his marker, pacey, direct, it'll deserve 9.
He has, "
Romulo is predominantly a central midfielder",
so is Asamoah and Padoin, in a 4-3-3- variation the CMs cannot be used as wingbacks with the same efficiency.
If a RB is what we need, why dont we buy a dedicated RB instead?
We got him because he can only play in the midfield. And his age means that we will use him right away, whilst Maronne and Coman might wait.
It is highly unlikely that Romulo will sub Licht, so he might be fielded as midfielder, just like Padoin does, only this year, if the man midle becomes a three man midle, Asamoah will be used more in the midfield, less and less opportunities will appear for the young ones and when one would opt to tie die a game until its over without risks, he will use the experienced Romulo/Asamoah/Marchisio/Padoin, rather than risking the youngsters.
Romulo was completely uneeded, his acquisition shows our intentions and this is the kind of practice that is been using in serie A most of the times.
Again, this is only a parameter of of the utter disaster this transfer means.
The fact that we are further growing our squad,will also hurt us in the long run, esp next year when we will want to add big wage players.
Also we are wasting around cash that could be used for great players and was available to this year's budget, all the money we have wasted around could have got us two starters. The money was there, the ammount we commited for the first of the three installments of all those crappy players and their collective wages could afford us a Jovetic or a Sanchez, the depth was already there, the cash was there and this transfer prooves we have chosen a different path, the Sampdoria path, rather than the Juventus path.
This is why Conte left...

Wut? Outside of Llorente and Tevez, we have none. Giovinco is worthless, and Morata is injured and a relative unknown. What offensive firepower do you speak of? Coman is still young, and is unlikely to be used frequently, Pereyra is nothing but a bench option, and the likes of Vidal and Pogba will only be a threat in the final 3rd if they are given the freedom to roam and cause havoc in the opposition's half. We severely lack pace and creativity, and our slow tempo is unlikely to trouble the European elite.
