Yes but the season starts in 2 weeks. It doesn't make sense to have the attackers coming into the team near October when u got here a year ago and knew this was coming
knew what was coming, the summer mercato? they had a million needs, he cant fill it all in one summer. They weren’t talking about selling Chiesa back in January, quite the opposite, they were talking renewal back then. Motta and Chiesa’s wage requests probably changed plans.

If Djalo and Rugani are gone, I’m starting to feel sorry for our defense.

Even with Todibo coming, we have to consider that we will be playing 5 tournaments this season, I think we are a little short in defense.

I know that players like Cabal, Danilo and Gatti can cover two positions but still, we already know that we struggle a lot with injuries.

At the moment it is nowhere near good for serie A level (depending what you mean by this, I mean squad challenging for the title).

Note that we still have to agree on Todibo and Koopmeiners deals, as well as selling on Woj, Rugani, Arthur, McBurger, Chiesa, Djalo, Kostic...

The links that are mentioned regarding wingers are not very promissing as well.

Also vice Dusan is not sorted too.

We will see, there is still time but I am not as optimistic as you are. I expected more.
I seriously want to understand what you guys expect?

That we can just run through teams just like the old times? And build a whole squad with a constrained budget?

The club has just woken up from a 3 year coma. 3 years of pure incompetency on and off the pitch and all I read here is people 'unconvinced' by the new signings without a ball being kicked and talking about how the squad is incomplete like as if the mess created by the previous management can all be cleared in one freaking season.

This is Giuntoli's first proper transfer window since taking over at JJ

Has he made an effort in significantly upgrading the midfield ? A resounding YES

Has he brought in a coach that has a more modern outlook of the game? I believe yes

Has he reduced our wage bill and trying to get our finances in order? Absolutely

This will take years to fix but all I can say is we are on the right track.

So.. this are Giuntoli's the pending issues:

- Close the signings of Koop and Torino

- Find a way out of:

- Szczesny
- Barbieri (Loan)
- Rugani
- Djalo (loan?)
- De Sciglio
-McKennie
-Arthur
- Nicolussi Caviglia (loan?)
- Chiesa
- Milik
- Kostic
-Frabotta
- Facundo Gonzalez (loan)
- Hasa (loan)
- Nonge
- Akè
- Sekukov

- Sign two offensive wingers

- ⁠Makeat least one more signing in defense

- Sign a Vlahovic's backup

- ⁠Yildiz renovation

Add to that the championship starts in 2 weeks (there is still more time for the market close)


Seems to me Giuntoli will have to work harder to find solutions to all of this issues...

xperd: the club has to be smart with money. too many bad transfers and too many high wages means money is tight and has to be spent wisely on the clubs most important needs. a winger.

also xperd: signing a 4th goalie for 20m is no big deal when other goalies not sold yet. also it's no big deal to sign a goalie for 20m when the club needed attacking players first.

Well at least you cant say he is not clear on his decisions...
Very much so.

Clubs will continue to low ball knowing we want them out. They will take advantage of our shitshow mercatos of the past. Giuntoli will struggle to get it all done in the coming weeks. How can someone sell or loan 10 players and find the solutions we need in such a short period of time. Just not possible.

At least five players will not be sold from those that remained in torino. Also i don't believe that we would be able to bring 4-5 players that are planed without panicking in the last days.

Good luck to Motta and Giuntoli creating a very shitty atmosphere in the begining of the season. We are giving Man UTD vibes.
Szczesny
Djalo
Rugani
MdS
Melo
McKennie
Caviglia
Milik
Chiesa

Kostic is injured so we don't know if he is kn the list, but he probably is
That's alot of selling, but besides Melo and MDS most players are not complete deadwood. If Giuntoli can sell, then he can do it.
