So if Paratici pulls this off is it a great move because we traded an unused benatia (for an admittedly lesser yet more versatile player) and used the funds to sign Ramrod or is it a chump move cause benatia wanted out, he caved and ramrod is not SMS?
Chump move if we don’t get Ramsey out of this

Would be total chump move if we replaced benatia with caceres and no midfielder.

Though it would be amusing to watch certain folk rationalize it

Not familiar with this reference. That's that popular American sitcom right?

Instead of Ramrod... A-Ram. Like A-Rod but... Ram.
Why not try a few and see what feels right over time

And we claim to be trying to win CL :lol3:
We replace this season's 4th option in central defense with another guy who we'll get something like 3-5 matches in Coppa and Serie A. We get 10 million from Benatia's exit, save money by not paying his wage, pay peanuts to Caceres and invest that money into a top class defender in the summer. It's all totally logical unless you expect Sergio Ramos to arrive to Turin in Jan.

I had thought the plan was to win CL in the short term hence bonucci, ronaldo acquisitions. It only makes sense then if we use that saved money to buy a midfielder in january

Given that it's a short term move it's not bad. Minimal expenditure and I can't imagine caceres will play all that much anyways. Besides we have Rugani ahead of caceres we will be fine. Just disappointed that benatia couldn't wait a few months to go to fucking Qatar of all places.
At least from an economic point of view it's caceres and not darmian
