There are a few things:
1. We are most likely going to get Locatelli, does no one here remember the Moggi days? Negotiations went on even longer back then, we'll get him.
2. We already made the best signing for the midfield a few weeks ago, Allegri. A midfield made up of Locatelli, McKennie, Rabiot, Ramsey, Arthur and Bentancur is hardly a midfield to slash our wrists over, and Allegri will make sure we get the best performance out of them and we finally have a backup center forward.
3. What the hell do people expect in a COVID mercatto? Pogba and De Bruyne? What do you want, that's delusional. We are working with tight restraints but the lineup is still amongst the top 10 of the world and we are healing from the Paratici's financial fuck ups.
4. Let's see what happens and be patient. Some moves are blocking other moves, let's see how the team looks at the end of the Mercatto.
