@Monco Welcome back you fucker. How do you feel about our Mercato moves thus far?
Thank you.
Thus far? Fairly decent. Iturbe is great, a young, fast, tricky winger, who has loads of potential and can be one of our leaders in the next decade. Of course, he will have to prove himself here and in the Champions League, but I think he will do well. He needs a good tutelage, because he's still a pretty raw talent, loves to be with the ball and is not very keen on passing it to others, but I think that's is great, we need someone who wants to show off and take the initiative. Also, almost every player, that was labelled as "the new superstar of football", was selfish with the ball, so I don't see a big problem here. Also, he is known to be a little bit of a bitch, hope we won't face these problems.
Evra is a decent signing. He has a shit-ton of experience, can play at the highest level for at least couple of years and is a great guy in general. Although our defence is quite experienced as well, I'm kind of glad we have Evra too now, because he can be a great leader and he could be invaluable during those CL matches, where our whole defence go full retard. I would have loved if we went for Ricardo Rodriguez or Alex Sandro for example, because they would have filled that LB gap for many years, but as a temporary replacement, Evra is probably one of the best players that you can get, especially for this price. I figure he will do pretty well in Italy, considering the tempo is slower here than in EPL and older players with brains can still be very useful here.
I'm not really sure about Morata. Yes, he's a great talent, but I'm not sure he's worth the money that we are supposedly going to pay. I'm not going to judge him straight away, so I'll just wait until the first couple of matches and then we'll see what he can do on the pitch.
I'm happy we are investing in youth, I haven't seen neither of Coman and Sturaro play, but it's always a smart choice to invest in young players, especially since our whole team is quite old.
And what do you think?
