I agree that the squad was strengthened for the better but the context was for league not Europe. I'm not looking for big moves in the winter but it's not like we made any progress for strengthening the squad for Europe this past summer either.

i think spending 20 million on morata tells otherwise. it's not marotta's fault he got injuried and missed pre season and first 2 months of serie a.

Thank you, and +Rep

Look at that list overflowing with quality that Hustinki listed. I just can't wait to have these world beaters donning our jerseys.

Ok, the winter mercato wasn't a disaster by any stretch, but some of you are making it out to be something extraordinary, as if we'd signed a caliber player or some shit. Go figure

Yep. It's been indifferent really, nothing to complain about, nothing really standing out in any way (except perhaps Rugani, but that deal can't really be attributed to this window imo). Some solid unsurprising moves, that's it. We never really do anything in January, I think that's for the better as well.

But, we are making progress thanks to having a new coach.

your post is invalid


Advanced past the group stages which we didn't do last year but we somehow aren't progressing in the CL.

It wasn't that hard to improve on last year's disaster in the CL, but we almost fucked up. ATM took it easy in the last game, and Olympiakos almost defeated us at home. We limped into the knockouts, it was far from convincing, and you know that as well as I do.

Now, I'd love to be wrong, but I'm waiting for the excuses when we are eliminated by a team battling relegation in the Bundesliga and struggling with injuries.

I'm not criticizing the move for Morata nor the fact that he got injured when he arrived.

I was simply making a point that I acknowledge that the squad was strengthened with depth for domestic competition, but not for Europe. If you believe that by signing Morata made us a formidable contender in Europe then I would have to disagree. We added ounces, not pounds in terms of contention.

Looking forward to digging this gem up when we advance.

I'd be elated, but with Dortmund's pace on the counter and Pirlo and Llorente in the starting 11, we are playing 9 vs 11.

Interesting. But how comes Bonucci has an enemy and Chiellini doesn't?

if you really wanted to 'strengthen' the team for Europe, of that calibre, wouldn't most of them be cup tied anyway?
