Mercato is still 10/10. CBs don't actually matter if you have the ball a lot. Bonucci is even better if we have the ball. I don't give a shit about these revolving CB options we always seem to have. Benatia was supposed to be shit and he's good. Even Howedes looked good with us.
Liverpool made CL final with nothing in their back line. Unless you are going for the absolute top option like Godin, they're all generally interchangeable.
Nothing can knock a Ronaldo mercato from 10/10.
