But what better players did we get?
I don't understand where some expectations are coming from.
We have a worse team available than last year. Dybala, Morata, and De Ligt left. Even a banter player like Bernardeschi can de better than McKennie on the wing. Given that everyone is injured we are definitely worse off than last season.
Every new signing that has played has played well (Di Maria, Kostic, Paredes, Bremer, Milik, Miretti if he counts). That's in how much need of quality the squad is now.
No team in the league is going through a crisis as rough as Juve in terms of transition, injury, and now suspensions. Allegri hasn't done a great job, but sure as hell hasn't been as bad as this forum likes to write. Succeeding with this Juve in the short term is an incredible job. Playing every 3 days from the start of the season, with signings made late into the summer, our best players injured, half the squad was cleared out, its a recipe for disaster for which patience is needed.
