Locatelli is the typical trash young and Italian mediocre DM we are buying every couple of years.
Make no mistake, these transfers come at the expense of starters, as it has been proved countless times in the past years. He is not coming for free, 20-25mil is half the money needed for a 50mil starter.
These players don't strengthen our team and they are not needed as they are hardly any better than other youngsters we have or can sign nearly free.
The only reason this is happening is for their managers to earn their profits. Don't delusion yourselves that he will ever become Juventus material.
What's worse is that he is a DM, dms are limited players without much brain and ball skills. They focus mostly on power and endurance. These players practically grow on trees and we can find them extremely easy any given time, like the x-mas transfer window for example.
Most of the CM we already have, have those characteristics, what we lack, ever since Pirlo left is some flair and creativity. Arthur is an unstable character and an injury prone player. So is cripple Ramsey, never there when we need him.
Berna is completely useless and can only be used laterally anyways.
Khedira will stay, Pirlo said that he is injured and will try him out, once he is fit, we all know what this means, we ve seen it many many times in past, he will start the season, so there absolutely no reason to get an Italian Can, a Locatelli player should be considered only after selling Khedira and after resolving our primary concerns, not being our first real transfer, this is a perfect recipe for a certain disaster in yet another transfer window...
