This Mercato on paper is still much better than last years'. We should not demand the team to win the CL or even reach the Semis. Qualifying past the group stage is more than enough assuming we still win the scudetto. Dortmund were champions and werent expected to do much in the CL. granted they did perform embarrassingly in an easy group but they still arent expected to do much better this year. City and PSG have amazing squads and big coaches and still no one expects them to win the champions league and they never set this as a target for themselves. Both want to win the league titles and go past the group stage in the CL. The ones seriously targeting a win are Bayern, Madrid and Barca.
We should dream yes but we shouldnt forget where we came from 1 season ago and how little experience our squad has in the CL with or without a WC forward signing. We have a squad that can achieve our target with or without the signing.
I understand we are all upset with how marrotta failed again in signing that WC striker promised last year but I dont think that failure will affect us reaching our objectives.
Compared to other teams we have by far strengthened our squad more than any other team except maybe PSG & Chelsea (but the former need time to gel while we dont).
There is no need to panic, but we can rightfully be disappointed.
The only way Marrotta can relieve that disappointment is if he brings back Del Piero. For me (but obviously for emotional reasons), I'd rather have Alessandro back than sign any of the players we are linked except for maybe RVP or Cavani.
