I am aware of that. But how about making the team stronger anyway, what do you think?
But it guarantees you the best possible shot.
Not really. City proves you wrong. Chelsea proves you wrong. Every English team with their huge WC signings and yet can't get past group stage proves you wrong.
Not saying i'm happy with our mercato though. The way i see it, before Vidal left i was happy. Tevez and Pirlo gone, we bring Khedira, Mandzukic and Dybala. One huge potential player, one guaranteed goal scoring machine and one decent mid.
Once Vidal leaves for way less than he was worth and we lose Khedira, then we need a top quality player to replace him/depth. Our mercato went to shit.
