doing nothing is neither a smart or modest move

Please start thinking wider than a journalist piece of paper. You sit at home, read forums, twitter and news. You think that's it? Come on. You're naive if you think our club is making no news. Just because we didn't sign players doesn't mean we're not making moves.
If we get to sign some decent/good players that doesn't have to mean our new guy, who's name I can't even spell, is not capable of signing better players. He was given a budget and he'll operate with it. I'll be more glad to sign a few players rather than 5-7 where we focus on panic buys.
I'm pretty sure our budget this summer is quite limited and we're making smart moves. If we, for example, don't sign Locatelli (but I do believe he'll be ours), that doesn't mean we didn't want him but he was probably out of our financial reach. It's not penny pinching but chances are high we simply can't sign him. Same goes for any other player.
I'll make my judgement when mercato finishes. Only then. But even then I'll try to take it with reservation because I'm confident dozens of our horrible moves over the past couple of years resulted this summer mercato simply because we threw so much money for nothing, especially on heavy contracts.[/QUOTE]
