4.5 mostly because of Bonucci, i believe this is the only player in the world that cancel the CR7 effect and we will concede a silly goal and lose the CL because of him.
Our other flaws are the usual, we seriously suck at selling, imo this is an integral part of our Mercato and balancing the books. It's unacceptable after 7 consecutive championships, to have such difficulties at selling players.
Losing Buffon, Asamoah, Marchisio and Licht to direct competition for free is also unacceptable.
Rating a young talent, like Caldara, with 10years+ ahead of him, for the same amount as declining Bonucci, is also unacceptable.
The Benatia-Godin swap for free should have happened, our post Gigi defense is now weakened.
And finally, for a 6th consecutive transfer window, we are failing to get an AMF, a central player to link our midfield with our forward line, like Pjanic does with the defense. Yes we were unlucky with Golovin's WC early performance, but why no alternative?
The CR7 transfer was a lifetime opportunity that would normally land us a 9 or even 10\10rating, it is quite an accomplishment that Beppe has managed to trash our team that hard, after this.
I would accept many compromise s, after getting such a difference maker that elevates our brand.
Except the only player in the world that can and will destroy the balance in our locker room, tactics and salaries balance.
Cancelo was a master stroke as well, but now with limited use, due to the significant downgrade to the defensive solidarity in the center of our defense.
Buy back clauses on the sale of our young talents is also an improvement on our second more significant flaw in the Beppe era, the handling of the youth contracts, such a shame though, that it didn't take place for the most important one...
I believe that the set of our 3 keepers will dissapoint themselves and us.
The Higuain loan will most probably end up with losing him for free (Sturaro too) and Bonucci's sky high salary, that rocketed Rugani's too, will mark a new era of raises that will completely cancel any financial effects the department of Higgy had, on our wage budget.
If we had a buy back option on Caldara or the Higgy buy option came with an obligation, this should be easily be a 6.5\10, but now we were sloppy and left implications for future budgets...
