This thread is why I want nothing to do with the footballing sections right now.
We bring in 3 good-to-excellent players.
We manage to sell some dead wood for decent prices.
We lose 3 players who want to move on.
We confirm we are looking for a CAM.
There is still over a month left in mercato to bring in a CAM and maybe a LB.
There are at least 2-3 months left before we'll have any idea how good our team will be with changes made.
SO, you'd think people would take the wait and see approach. Let's see who we sign in the next month. Let's see how the team starts the season. Let's see how we do in the CL group stages. Let's wait and see before we say this was a terrible mercado.
Nope. Instead it's meltdown, and:
Beppe isn't good enough for a club like Juve.
Beppe is acting like he's at Sampdoria still.
We're a selling club.
We're on the same level as Dortmund.
We're going to lose scudetto and do terrible in CL.
And the sad part is these people aren't even trolling. It was the same when we lost COnte last year. Look at the Allegri thread. People were claiming we wouldn't even make the top 3 and CL for this year.
Could our management have made some bad signings and we have a lousy year? Sure. It's a possibility. But the likelihood from all we've experienced under Marotta and Paratici is that we should give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for the season to arrive to see how good this rejuvenated and younger squad looks.
This won't happen though. SO
