9 only because i am not sure about Pjaca, otherwise, we did the best we could.
It was the best sale mercato post calciopoli, massive getting rid of deadwood like Isla, Padoin, heck even decent sales of surplus subs like Pereyra and Zaza.
Finally managed to keep our most promising youngsters, like Rugani, without loaning them with the right to buy.
Pogba was destined to leave anyway and he left as our biggest sale ever!!
Ideally we should use that cash to get that prolific finisher we couldnt sign for more than a decade, because CMs are easy to find, but finishers are harder to find and more expensive and Higuain only last year has beaten the record of the most prolific serie A striker ever!!
Since we knew that Pogba will leave, ideally we should get his successor, before we sell him, so we wouldnt risk not finding one and since we already a promising rising star in Lemina, we should now get someone who would fill his starting shies here and now and we did by weakening our other direct conpetitor, when we stealed Pjanic from Roma!
For many years we have been trying to add some depth in our central defense with hakf measures and mostly because we were looking at the long place, as Italy has lost her touch at producing the best defenders in the game, Rugani has the talent to become one, but he is not quite ready to replace the ageing tower Barzagli, in a CL final. And so we did finally found such a player, ready to lead and replace any of our starter CBs without compromising performances and finally putting aside any nationalistic remnants that have remained from the ItalJuve project that nearly annihilated us...
The bonus transfer of the transfer window wasnt a new CM this time, but Alves, what a freaking upgrade for the Urugaian camikaze, Licht can now rest a bit and get the best of him when it is needed the most, maximizing our performances, with 2 pairs of stellar wingbacks!
Althewhile keeping the player that surprised me the most last year and personally noted as mvp, in permanent basis, the magnificent Cuads, who preferred us over the EPL! Who knows what he can achieve now being so determined to help us and surrounded by an over stronger team! By keeping Licht and adding Alvez and Cuads, our right side is an overkill and our wings could be even deadlier than tbe Neddy-Camo duo, as we now have some many option to run up down for the full 90', regardless of the ocassional injuries and suspensions, smth that was proven fatal in finals, in our past...
O boy, for me its like a dream, its like Beppe himself was reading my posts all these years, kept trolling me and all of a sudden granted me my every wish!
This is what we should do in my opionion to become CL competitive and we now have the means to fight for it like ever before in our recent history!
