Hernanes will help fill the giant hole that we left in the midfield this mercato. This is a year I expect Marchisio to step up and cover a lot of the gaps that Vidal and Pirlo left, mostly Vidal. Hernanes will help aide the loss of Pirlo as a playmaker but it is key that Marchisio performs well this year.
Pogba has that fire in his belly that a lot of great athletes have. He has a passion to be the best on the field and he believes in himself. However, it's a team game and we lost a lot of blood this mercato. Let's take some of the pressure off of Pogba and place it on the players who are a little older and have been here before in times of need. It's time for Marchisio to be a leader. The Hernanes pick up will help us tremendously in the league, but I think we still fall very far short of competing in CL again this year.
It was a disappointing offseason and I think it ultimately sealed the deal as far as losing Pogba next year bar some miracle run in the CL. The scudetto? Been there done that. We could very well win it again this year too. The year is far from over. However, players like Pogba want to compete at the highest level and I'm afraid we have lost that ability. Looks like we have fallen off for at least two seasons. We won't finish 7th two years in a row of anything but I was always under the impression that this club is one of the best in the world. I was just getting used to competing for CL titles too...what a shame.
