I'm not fond of stopgaps, so I'm good with Siqueira not being signed.
If you are looking for a LB, spend money on him and get a great one. But it's not happening this mercato. Marotta won't pay 25M for Alex Sandro, that's his price and he'll go to the EPL.
Let's see what midfielders they come up with. Signing Khedira is looking very bad so far. Focus on healthy players, Asa can't be counted on.
But if we manage to sell Llorente for 10M +, I expect one signing of around 10-12M and one of around 20-25M, both for midfield.

No but you do have to judge the mercato as a whole, we had less holes to fill before the sale of Vidal, following his sale we have multiple issues to resolve which haven't been addressed and thus far with poor planning and execution. It is not how you start, but how you finish.
But yes, with the uncertainty revolving Asamoah's capacity of playing again, and Khedira showing his health can't be trusted on, selling Vidal looks worse by the day.
