At a glance, we improved our attack with RONALDO* and defense considerably. The midfield has not been improved meaningfully, and we shipped out a promising young defender. I'm still skeptical on the goalkeeper situation, I'm not so highly convinced on the Pole as the rest of you are.
Regrettably we lost a number of our old guard at the same time, but this is how life works. Marchisio should've been handled better imo, with a decision made at the end of last season so that he could receive the send-off he truly deserved.
*Signing Ronaldo doesn't only provide a short-term boost despite his age, but the financial impact of this move, I believe, will have a lasting impact on us. This could be the move we needed to really be seen among the best in the eyes of the world as well as improve the status of the league as desperately needed.
