Well I pretty much agree with the most of the first post so I am just going to add or change what I think differently .
- Hernanes , not that I hate him , but I would put him in the Cons , he is not juve first team material , plus a panic buy is 99% of the time a bad deal in my book .
- Mandzukic . I thought at first this as a bad deal honestly , but after selling both llorente and coman I am glad he is here . I would put him in the pros only because the way this mercato closed .
- Zaza , the way this was handled is hilarious . We overpaid him . Plus if the words circling around that we bought him only because of prearranged deals is true , than this is even worse . Imho if this is true we should have sold him and goten someone like matri . No point in keeping someone which isn't wanted by the managment and coach . He stayed only for a numerical reason which shows how half planned this mercato was .
- Coman , imho this was a no brainer , no way we wouldn't have sold him . The only way a player who is 19 goten at 0 wouldn't be sold is if he did what pogba did his first year . He could become a WC player (has some traits) , but he could also never be worth what we sold him for . At this point there is no way to know and for that amount of money it was right to let him go . (This reasoning is made with the idea that there is an obligation to buy , if this is just a straight loan , imho this was a terrible deal)
- Vidal , going contrary to popular belief I would put this in the pros . I was one of the first to say that this was the right time to sell him . He was 28 coming after a not so great season where he played out of position for pretty much all the season (which also aided in why his performances weren't so great last year) . We would have never had a better chance to sell him . I also think the price was right , imho in his best I think we could have goten max 50 mil out of him after a not on his standarts year it was the right price . The real problem here is a failure to properly substitute him , with that I mean getting a midfielder to replace his charisma and importance in the field which wouldn't have neededly been a CM , could have easily been a worthy AMF .
This year imho everything started great , than everything went to shit pretty fast . The failure to sign a proper trequartista is the biggest problem of this mercato obviously . I would also like to know how much money we have spent in total this mercato , because after a CL final it looks like we haven't spent a thing considering also all the players we sold , seems like Agnelli has taken some tips from the "Golden Book of Deals" cowritten by Zamparini and Pozzo .
