So what difference do the summer mercato mistakes make then?
If we were upgrading one of our full backs and one of our our wingers with reliable starters.
We would avoid a whole lot of lost points, due to diminished quality. Because we wouldnt suffer that much from the loss of our champions and those starters would actually help us, rather than just fill up a position in our starting eleven.
In their day, they would actually make a difference and offer us far more chances and far more frequently that our current options can.
Atm, the percentage of quality players suffers from those weaklings and when some of our champions are having a bad day, or even worse, they are missing. Then we really feel their absence, because between them and the mediocre reserves we have it a great deal of difference. Our team also tends to be unbalanced for the very same reason. Our scheme and type of playing also is imposed due to our weakness in our defense.
We suffer from these problems since we relegated and our board didnt care to fix any. They just more DMs and forwards, hoping that those player would increase the overall quality of our team and will help our specific problems, plus the cheap/free quick fixes. I ve always disagreed here and asked for a specific and permanent solution. By now half of our problems should have been dealt already and this year we could field up a competitive team, in all our lines.
This team is heavily unbalanced though. Our third attacking sub, is of far better than our first choices in the defense for ex...
With a better start eleven, more balanced team and minimized weakness in our starter eleven. We would be more competitive and slip far less points, in the days we didnt only because of that! Those extra points would give us more chances and actually make the difference. If someone may claim that we now stand a chance to club the scudetto, imagine then...
With the same performances, determination and with the added quality in the positions we constantly suffer, we might actually stand a chance to win smth this year. And with a couple more aimed acquisition, our team would be complete by next year, with realistic chances for a title!
