Alright so it's obviously an aborted mercato. Giuntoli should have had backups which he could have gone for even if he didn't want them, to leverage into a deal.
We seemed to have that for CB but we made moves one at a time, so it was obvious we were getting more desperate each time.
But having said all that, what's better now? Overpay and have the players or don't pay anything and face the season with the squad we have now?
Genuinely what would people prefer?
