How is it possible to have a transfer campaign that is a 5 when you get Cristiano Ronaldo.
Maybe I'm just stupid. That has to be it. Literally EVERY OTHER TRANSFER would have to be a crime against humanity for this mercato to be a 5.
Someone want to tell me that the Cancelo, Perin, and Can deals were abhorrent?
Half the people crying about Bonucci were crying last summer about us selling him. Most of them haven't watched a half-dozen matches of Caldara's and he's already the next Nesta.
While I dislike Bonucci for what happened over the past year and would prefer we don't make this move, at his best he is a clear margin better than any of our defenders not named Chiellini. It's particularly ironic from those who bitch about how our football is too defensive and defending doesn't matter, we need to play modern attacking football. And those who whined endlessly about our team not being able to escape, for example, Tottenham's pressing. Both of these things, a defender like Bonucci, who is able to switch play so quickly, helps immensely with.
If the deal happens, it sucks to lose Caldara, and to see the smug traitor back here, but we will have dramatically improved our starting XI with Ronaldo, Cancelo, Bonucci, and possibly Can.
5/10 though
