too old and too mediocre, hopefully won't give more than 5mil, besides, verona gave 1.7mil for his half.
he is typically a player Marotta's Sampdoria would have bought...
I believe the main reason we are getting him is his Italian ancestry.
Anything more than 5mil and this transfer will affect our transfer campaign negatively...

he is better than our bench players, so if we sell isla or padoin, then he is necessary and an improvement. whoscored.com says he had a nice season, his stats were also good. I'm quite positive about him. And all you are haters, as if we would buy already proven world class player in his prime. It never happened and will never happen under marotta
We have gone for depth and fillers yet again.
I agree that even Coman was not a necessity but as you said it was an opportunity. I find these opportunities really important and that's why I included him in the necessary category. Maybe a forward is necessary but the Morata deal is beyond terrible no matter how one looks at it, nothing about it is right.
And let's not start about Pereyra and Romulo or even go back to how bad was the Iturbe rumour. About Iturbe also even if we dodged that bullet in my opinion, I see that as a failure considering that we lost a target to rival.
The mercato so far gets a 4/10 from me.

I like Pereyra and Romulo but both of them are bench players for us. I don't mind having them but only if our XI is stronger first -- which it obviously isn't. Not to mention how expensive Pereyra turned out to be. So it was a huge waste of cash this mercato. I can't believe we only signed Evra to improve our starting XI. As for Morata I'm still pretty much speechless.
Iturbe was very expensive but I expect him to turn into a great player. I think he will pay off in the end and become a burden on our shoulder.

I agree, but Morata was also an opportunity, an expensive one at that. I don't mind Marotta trying to sign players like that, but I'm sick of hearing we don't have any money to spend, clearly we do. Losing Iturbe to a rival is a major loss of points, probably docks 2 points off what could have been. But the issue at this point is none of these signings really improve the quality of the side which is what we need. So 4 out of 10 makes sense right now. Below average, and below me if you think that is a ridiculous rating.
It's really strange how I read in some of your posts that you didn't rate Iturbe, especially for 30 mil, but you don't like that we lost him from Roma cause he will be great. There is a big contradiction in there. Either we did well backing off cause he was expensive or we lost the next Robben from within our hands.
