I give a 7, I was so afraid we would lose Arturo or Paul, It's hard to give a bad rating now that they're still here.

And then on top of that 25m on two bench players?? Evra is ok addition.
It's dissapointing to admit that keeping our World Class players -Vidal and Pogba- in today's market is a success in and of itself.
I think our mercato was solid with Morata - unless he turns into Falcao within the next few years we shouldn't worry about that buy back clause.
And Im really excited for Coman, can't wait to see him develop throughout the season.
I give this Mercato a 7/10.

I give it a firm 6/10
I had no expectations going into the summer mercato, as long as we kept Vidal and PP I was more than happy, which we did do.
I know we have hit a glass ceiling of what the club can make money wise until next summer and that limited us to what we could do. However, the fact that there was money spent and not spent properly is what bothers me.
Our first 11 needed a player with more creativity, it was there for all to see last season. Shaqiri or Sanchez should have been wrapped up pre-World cup. Was Morata at 20m really needed?
We chased players all summer and didn't get anyone. From Alexis to Iturbe to Lavezzi to Jovetic to Falcao to Hernandez, supposedly all got 'agreement with the player' but when it came to dealing with the club we got nowhere.
Conte walking out in the middle of July didn't help matters.
Coman looks like a potential steal, the Pereyra deal was unnecessary and the option to buy fee is ridiculously high for a bench warmer (and because it's Udinese you know we will pay), Evra is a decent enough buy.
Honestly at this point in time i'm more excited about Allegri's tactical versatility than about any player we have signed.

It was obviously no more than a 4/10 mercato. It was just terrible. One of the worst in the last few years, definitely. We simply kept the same team as last year, hoping that players like Pirlo, Tevez, Pereyra, Coman, Pogba and Vidal can provide us creativity in Europe and open up defenses, while any sane person knows that that's a joke. It can maybe work in Serie A, but that's a shit competition.
I think we're really gonna have a long season.

We have some nice options like Romulo and Pereyra(cost way too much) and a potential gem like Coman. Other than that it is a catastrophe.
Replacing Conte with Mister Il Gol di Muntari is enough to call this mercato a disaster. Not to mention reason of Conte's departure is unrivalled incompetence of Marotta when it comes to bringing quality.
Morata is ok as footballer but the way we signed him is ridiculous. Incredibly high price for an unproven striker and i don't even want to comment on infamous buy-back clause.
2/10 due to huge fuck up in Conte case and failing to increase quality despite spending 40 million euros.

4/10
- We lost Conte and hired Allegri
- We got expensive bench players
- Morata and everything about that deal is so fucked up that you don't even know where to start complaining about it
- Evra is a good signing but him alone is not enough to change formation, the deal looks like Conte wanted him but when he left the whole idea fell apart, the management continued to get him but had no clue what is needed to complete the plan
- Coman being the only good thing about the entire summer lifts my grade a bit, otherwise it is a deep failing grade.
