As I have said many times, revolutionising a squad in one transfer window is extremely difficult. If comes as no surprise to me that players like McKennie, Milik and now Kostic are now part of the project with a few more to come no doubt.
While I respect Motta for being “transparent “, it shows the wide mercato too much.
Somehow everybody knows Koopmeiners is our number 1 target with no plan B. Everyone knows we will get rid of Chiesa. The biggest error was that if we kept Soule for longer, we would have more options right now.
I think we have put ourselves in a corner now.
I went from being quite optimistic to now pessimistic. We couldn’t close Todibo, now Kululu and still can’t close Koop and Nico despite both clubs finding substitutes.

Pierre Kalulu's future, barring any major surprises, will not be at Juventus.As he has not received any assurance about having permanent position in the starting lineup and that Juve will permanently sign him.(Cds)
To be fair, I can’t fault club on this one. We are in no position to give guarantees to any player let alone one who came off such an injury prone season.
