he didnt look to be the right fit here, i think that we really needed the cash from his sale asap thats why we hurried with his sale, could have possibly gotten more but we had no choice
I'd agree with that, although I think he could have done a good job here. He is too similar to Llorente and the two would be too expensive to have one on the bench, though.

When rating the mercato, someone shouldn't forget that our board had to cope with a coach change out of the blue 1 day after the pre-season training had started. New coach. New targets, etc.
I don't think we've signed a single player who was linked to us after Allegri took over as coach.

$43,098,000 after Group exit.

Season before with quarterfinal exit $65,315,000

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but looks like we lost out on about $22,000,000 from the CL before in the quarters.

Out of the blue my ass. You don't agree on all the details and sign a new coach within 24 hours. Impossible.

Very little changed by the time Conte left in terms of who we were buying and selling

Evra, Pereyra, Romulo, Coman, Morata. None of that changed

Immobile, the only significant departure happened before too. And Quags + Mirko were done at Juve regardless of our new coach

Right, I totally forgot about that.

My 6/10 goes back to 4.5/10 for being an obstacle in Conte's ambition and hastly assigning Allegri.

As Juve I don't take us 'keeping our best players' in to account when rating the Summer. It should be mandatory at a club of this size & stature
:agree:

What kind of joke is rating our mercato higher because we kept our best players. We've never sold our best players. Aside from a ridiculous offer for a 29 year old Zidane that allowed us to rejuvenate our team. And I'm all for selling any of our 29+ players for ridiculous offers in the future also.

A good mercato (over 6/10) means keeping our best players while adding quality to our starting XI. One new starter and an improved bench would be 7-8/10 dependent on that starter being in a position of need or not. It's a joke to think we had anything but a mediocre mercato, and anyone suggesting keeping our best players gives an extra point to our mercato is, to quote Zach, "a peasand."

7 out of 10 for me. After several windows of recycling bench players seems like marotta's finally got it right adding some decent depth who can challenge the starters and actually contribute. Was wishing for a star AM/Treq didn't happen. Dodged some stinkin bullets too, which is a plus for me, not wasting money on those useless marquee marotta signings.
