What if the media have been thrown completely off-guard and the Beppster is working on something really big?
I'm really worried, I have to say, but let's remember what kind of names we brought in last season. Higuain, Alves, Pjanic, Cuadrado with obligation to buy, Benatia.
Very high quality players and big names.
What if we simply aren't interested in the "Keitas" of this world anymore, and this is one of the reason everything is taking so long?
What if we are primarily chasing big players + incredible talents, mainly?
In the incredible talents category we can place Schick and Bernardeschi, Serie-A's greatest talents. We had a deal for one of them and it fell through because the lad didn't pass his medical. It happens. And we're very close to bringing in the other one.
De Sciglio? Well obviously not a big player nor a great talent, but there has to be some exceptions to the rule. We need depth. I'm more than okay with his move, as long as he's not brought in to be a starter.
Bonucci? Sucked to lose him, and the way it happened left a sour taste. But the relationship between club and player had completely broken down and he refused to move abroad. Add to the equation that he and his agent pressed for the Milan move, and there was practically nothing that could be done. Ok I suppose one could've told him: You're under contract, shut up and play, but why risk having a pissed off player and a bad dressing room atmosphere from now on?
Finally; Do I really believe that things will now turn for the better?
Not really

umpkin: The most likely scenario is that our mercato is just as messy as it seems to be, and that we will be left disappointed.
But what if, ragazzi. What if!
