You all say we have a fantastic mercato but to be honest I`m not that much impressed (first 11 wise)
Defence wise we are the same
Midfield we had Pirlo and Vidal (although Vidal is still our player he is surely be sold to Bayern) lets say we get Draxler or even Gotze We`ll have Khedira Gotze instead of Vidal Pirlo which I`m not sure is such an upgrade as Pirlo is a master in creativeness and amazing free kicks who can decide a locked game
No need to introduce Vidal who is simply world class
Khedira is good but he is not world class
while Gotze is good but its not like we getting the next big thing in AM... Also Draxler is far from finished product
Forward wise - Tevez Morata changed to Dybala Morata or Mandzukic Morata depends on how good Dybala turns to be.. anyway I doubt he will be as good as Tevez has been for us...
Future wise I agree those are good moves but if you look at our starting 11 now and not future wise we are not stronger than last year but actually we have even been weakened
I agree we couldnt do much more than we did but still our first 11 are not as good as our first 11 that fought Barca and Real
What do you think?
We'll play much better and faster without Pirlo.He scored only 3 FK's last season.and he would not be better this season.
He's a legend but it's time to go,and WE ARE BETTER without him imo.
Tevez,well.
the loss is huge ofcourse BUT,if i compare last season attack to this one:
Tevez(29)+Morata(15)+Llorente(9)+Matri(2)+Gio(2)+Coman(1) = 58 goals.
This seasons IMO: Morata and Mandzu will have 20goals each in average.Dybala will have more than 10,Zaza will score more than 5,Coman will add few.
So,you get a more balanced attack,not heavily dependent on 1 player(Tevez) and in summary scores more.(i predict 60+ goals combined)
Vidal loss is big but the mostly on the defensive part,and here i thnk Khedira,Sturaro and Asa will all step up and cover.
Miedfield of : Pogba,Marchisio,Khedira,Pereyra,Sturaro,Asa + Padoin. is still a VERY good one even without Vidal.and one of the best out there imo.
If we do sign a high quality AM and a LB.
If Isla sold then RB also.
Then i believe we'll be a better team,more creative,faster team.
