I don't necessarily disagree, although I see LB as more important, or even someone who can play both positions. I'm pretty sure that's one reason why we included Danilo, at least.
What I'm saying is that considering we have Cuadrado, Danilo and MDS on the roster it won't at all be a priority to spend so much on a right back. And yes, I have considered the flaws of all three. In an ideal world you wouldn't have Danilo, you'd rely on MDS for only 15 games as a squad player, and you'd have *insert younger player* contesting with Cuadrado for the right back spot.

You can't possibly look at Inda and say with a straight face that they aren't improving. Conte brought his system, and Beppe is giving him the players for it. Lukaku might be an oaf, but his numbers speak for him and he fits Contes system. Then he's brought in mids, including Eriksen, and now a good wingback.
Looking at our midfield, doesn't look too hard to improve, never mind what Swayze said.

We have to bear in mind that they probably already have €111m of Lautaro money burning a hole in their pocket.
Look, it's plainly obvious that it's much easier to improve a failing team by adding an improved transfer budget and good players each season. We don't have to look very far to know that. It doesn't mean that it always works - it needs competent people in charge, and Marotta certainly is that.
If Marotta had peanuts to work with he'd face the same limitations of any DS. He's a talented DF/DS, but it's just as big a factor that Inter are now bankrolled by Suning. Their net spend for 19/20 was over €100m, plus taking on the salaries of players like Lukaku and Eriksen.
Since Suning took over four years ago at Inter their NET spend (fees) is just over €300m, so a decent scudetto challenge is exactly where they should be. It's only the overachieving of Lazio that is stopping them from being 2nd. Even with a slew of sponsors stepping away from the club from next season, they'll fill them with Chinese and other global replacements. Marotta has seen two years of this with about 20% growth in turnover each season.
Going straight in for Conte was a fairly easy and maybe somewhat of a guarantee as a choice, that at least the club would be competitive. When Conte was brought to Juve by Marotta and Agnelli it was a significant gamble, based on passion and history.

They have a better squad than last year, of course, but I don't agree on this beppe better on squad building than paratici.
Paratici's job is to try to keep us up top, while beppes job is to make them compete.
Two separate jobs. Paratici doesn't need to build a squad. His job is to patch it.
And inda is underachieving for a supposed second best team in the league.

tbh uefa guidelines aren't completely transparent for me. i read the official statement back in march-april, and honestly, i couldn't figure out what it actually meant. it read something like ffp is suspended for participation in 2020/21 uefa competitions. for me, it means that the financial results (and every relevant correction) won't be taken into account when evaluating clubs for the 20/21 uefa competitions and later years - otherwise, it doesn't make sense, because the corona-influenced year can influence basically ANY 5-year period. so yes, if my guess is right, you can do whatever you fancy, for this season, ffp gives even more room for everyone. a lifeline for the poor, a huge unexpected christmas present for the wealthy.
and more than ever, i'm happy to stand corrected if i'm wrong. that statement was a mess.
