Did we improve so much?
We sold Pogba for Higuain, who is slightly better than Mandzukic, who was fine.
Pjanic for Pogba basically.
I think we could've spent 100m much better than on Higuain.
Its one player, im not convinced he'll make that much more a difference. He'll bag a few more goals, but Mandzukic is a very decisive player.
But i'm not arguing who the better player is. Higauin clearly. But the difference in quality does not warrant the necessity to bring a player for such a price tag.
This saga (and mercato) reminds me of my favorite quote:
"Here’s the bottom line: everyone has an imaginary companion who’ll be with you your entire life. His name is Fear.
If you allow this companion to take control of your life, then he’ll put you in a straightjacket.
But Fear can also be your loyal companion. When you hop on the wild roller coaster of life, engaging in an infinite number of exhilarating undertakings, Fear will come along with you.
He won’t get in your way, but he’ll always be there as long as you’re doing new things. When you feel fear, it’s a sign that you’re doing something new and exciting."
I know I'm afraid of letting Pogba go and walk into the unknown but at the same time I'm excited about what Marotta can do with this money.

We shall see. Getting the likes of Asshole Shnitzel and Shitsoko is not "bolstering" in my book. However, if we acquire Hernanes and Kovacic, I'd call it a successful mercato as far as our midfield is concerned.

I'd fap myself into a coma... wake up in 3 years to see we had won 3 straight CL titles, Pogba had lost his mind with grief over missing out on this, and was now plying his trade for Leeds United in the Championship....
