8 if consider our realistic chances after the compromises we were forced to make in the transfer market...
We knew that the transfers we made wouldnt help us reach to the next level, as they were not efficient where it mattered the most!
Esp the defensive lack of quality and left sided options were barely touched, Ogbonna+Peluso added quantity but not quality, the lack of a dedicated quality LB, would mean that we couldnt exersice the 4-3-3 option,we would be forced on the same options and compromises of the previous years and more or less on the same results.
Our increased depth, would help us even more to secure the domestic supremacy, despite's Napoli's leap in quality and an occassional overperforming Roma.
We have done nothing to increase our quality on European standards, the CL draw was highly unfavorable, as we got pitted against the refs favorite team in the decisive middle matches and Galata who humiliated us in the transfer market and gain ground on the quality balance, as the direct competitor for the qualification...
Our fate was sealed and the only point of criticism is Conte's way of handling the cups, but thats prolly telling us, what our priorities were, as a club, the 100 point record was more important than the silver star...
But the third consecutive title, the 100 point marker and the third official star were strategical priorities and they were met, making this season a success!
