Thing is that the most key arrivals are here on dry loans which means we will be back to square one in the summer, while the others are a young prospect that we still need to see before being able to really tell what he is all about but we’ve already purchased him outright, also Kelly who comes at an inflated price and with a obligation despite his ceiling being that of a decent backup or at best a regular feature at Jmedical.
On top of this we’ve forced out and paid for the contract termination of the captain of the club that was at least providing depth both as CB and fullback and also sold another homegrown midfielder Fagioli for relatively cheap(although getting an obligation is a positive) to a direct rival.
in my opinion it’s a 5/10, might gradually rise a bit depending on how the new signings perform, but truth is it’s been again a mercatto that raised more question marks than it actually solved anything long term.
Didn't pay him a severence. Just his January salary, was reported.

Milan made some good transfers. All of the players are proven, not too much expensive and good for rotation. A mercato we should have... but no, we signed some kellys chips from newcastle bench.
Their ins were impressive but losing Bennacer and Okafor isn't exactly good either.

Voted 6.
Muani adding something different and wer brought in 3 needed defenders, albeit 1 unknown, 1 underwhelming and 1 promising.
For a january transfer window you usually want some experience for an immediate impact, didn't get that except maybe a bit for our Lord Kelly...
Loans always tend to pan out quite expensive as was proven again in this mercato (with Kelly). Need to get our books in order asap so we can stop kicking the can down the road every goddamn window. It is CL qualification or bust.
