Didn't you give it a 4, in the poll up above...?
Regardless. I see reasons to rate the mercato anywhere from 3-8. There are far too many unknowns to really give a hard rating. I gave a 5 mostly because I have no idea how it will turn out. We bought a number of interesting players in terms of potential, in terms of reclamation projects. The only real guarantees were Alex Sandro and Mandzukic. We know what we're getting there. But with Dybala, Lemina, Khedira, Hernanes, and to a lesser extent Zaza, the variables are pretty great. So 5 from me with potential to swing quite far in either direction.
The only ratings I see as ridiculous are 1-2 and 9-10. Far too many unknowns to rate it at either extreme.

My post got deleted for some reason 
I was just pointing out an amusing post to you. Someone joined Tuz just to tell us we are all rating the mercato too highly.

something i dont understand, mandzukic - khedira - hernanes insure we are competitive? in which competition? coppa italia? not even 1 of them supposed to be in juve starting 11.
so purchasing isco would be considered lack of planning(though allegri said it himself the plan is to bring a number 10), but purchasing zaza and mandzukic - 2 target man while you aready have 2 target man, for 40 mil is a masterplan?
purchasing hernanes in the last minute due to marrota failure to land a real number 10 in 2 months was planned?
couldnt control vidal departure? thats an easy thing to say.
vidal said that the reason he left was because he did not believe juve could make it to CL glory, who should we blame if not marrota\juve management for that?
a key player\star does not believe in the club to be a top club after a season in which we are almost with a treble, losing only to barcelona in the final.
the club lost only tevez and had 80-125mil to spend at that time, and you want to tell me it was out of control?
well if you cant get your hands on good players\proper replacements(which is an excuse, good players are always out there you just have to search for them), just save the cash for next transfer windows. it doesnt mean you have to spend it without thinking.
5/10 from me on this mercato. It could have been so much better if Marotta was just willing to use the Vidal money to get a proper AM to improve the team.
Positives,
Alex Sandro (Good deal)
Dybala (Seems like a good investment so far)
Mandzukic (Paid a little too much)
Negatives
Tevez (gifted him away)
Llorente (for free)
Vidal (Worth more than 37 million)
Hernanes (good player but not going to improve us)

Even boca fucking low balled us for Tevez, I mean does anyone seriously think Vadala will break into the first team? early days perhaps but Allegri was practically over looking him in pre season already and admitted that he knew almost nothing about the player. Again goes to show how spineless the management are when it comes to giving into players demands when they want to leave.
Yes I believe that due to the fact that we lost 2 starting mids Khedira is a huge help for free. Yes risky due to injuries bbut not bc he was free. Hernanes is a stop gap but that in itself is planning to invest in the future in a proper am and not freaking out right now and overspending
Vidal said we couldnt compete when we went to the final and had that money to spend. You see that as a management problem but I see that as he wanted out. Did he not know we had money? He wanted something new and be part of a better squad which unfortunately he did
The striker situation is a bit strange but Morata is proven with us and he was the only one. Llorente was past it and wasnt on our level nor did he give the workrate required out of Allegri. Mandzukic was a great signing and gives us much more than Llorente. Dybala was an interesting signing and it can be critisized I suppose but we believed in him and he was one of the few players young and of quality.
Zaza is plain weird and honesly dont know what to think. Clearly it has to do with him being young,on low wages, and have a resale value if things go bad. Also its a lot to do with next years Berrardi deal I think.
Lemina is young and high potential. Rugani has tremendous upside
Sandro I dint think anyone argues with.
The big question is do you not think having Madnzukic,Khedira, and Dybala give us a great chance at the scudetto and the future of our club be well off?
12/10 would take seriously
5.5-6/10 is a fair rating, with the pick of the transfers being Sandro, and the dark horses being Lemina and Hernanes*. The latter two could easily add another couple of points to the mercato basis how they gel into the team, squad and gameplay. Hernanes may just turn out to be Marrotta's greatest panic buy ever. A position currently held by Quag.
