The most pressing issue wasn't addressed until the end, and instead of getting a quality starter for years to come, we got an Inter reject as our stop gap solution. Pathetic attempt by Marotta in all honesty. Dybala and Sandro were very solid buys, but Allegri needs a quality AM to make the 4-3-1-2 (his preferred formation) work. As things stand, both our midfield and attack are visibly weaker, and we are going to need a lot of luck to repeat as champions and negotiate a tough looking CL group.
But there is nobody that can convince me that after all the money we made last season, and with the sales of Vidal and Coman included, that we couldn't have SIGNIFICANTLY strengthened our weakest spot with an attacking midfielder of real quality. Instead we're bargain bin hunting on deadline day for a position we should've covered long ago. I mean who the fuck spends 38Million euros on 2 bench strikers and sells Vidal then spends 10M on a badly needed CAM.
We could have landed somebody like Oscar (Just an example) for 40-50M and whether people like it or not, one day we will need to actually invest that on one player and not 4 or 5 because we're not going to keep landing unknown players who go on to become world class. It's not sustainable.
