Why waste money on a 29 year old in a position for which we have infinite options?

“Keita is a closed topic, just as Schick is a closed topic,” Marotta shrugged, speaking to reporters after Blaise Matuidi’s presentation.

“It’s easy for you [the media] to say Milan, Juventus, or Roma, but for us it’s a closed topic.

“We’re good as we are, then maybe there will be some opportunities.

Sounds to me like "take it or leave it Lotito." Juve has the leverage. This is the proper response.

Well we seem to be interested in a CF the whole summer. Schick and Keita come to mind first.

We have infinite options on the wings, not in the CF area.

Dybala to get Pipita's place, Berna to AMC and Cuadrado on the right.

I'd rather see that than to spend money on Kalinic (who's pretty good, yes). And I'd rather invest it in defense which is quite bad at the moment.

He's close to Roma and it seems we're not interested enough.

I agree.

Our board apparently doesnt. They think our defense is good the way it is. Beppe spent the whole summer with deals for Schick and Keita, not with any CB (maybe we asked Atalanta for the return of Caldara and thats about it) or decent first team RB.

We act like we have no money at all. We asked for Caldara and Spinazzola but they told us to fuck off. Pretty hilarious and they are our players.

Going by the last two mercato we actually don't have much money

Exactly. Majority of our 'good' transfers were always funded by our sales (of better players).

5/10 mercato

Keita and Schick are targets because of their potential to be great players. Kalinic has arguably already reached his ceiling.

Is it closed for us then?

Our best transfers like Pirlo, Lichtstainer, Vidal, Barzagli, Pogba, Tevez didnt need much funding, sadly Beppe is slowing down and hasnt been bringing the cheap WC players lately.

next year our mercato will consist in only freebies.

Gotta admit I underrated Licht during Lazio days, where he was quite good, but I thought he'd choke. Didn't also expect Barzagli to be an absolute gem. However, I absolutely loved when we signed Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba and Tevez. Some others too. I don't have that feeling now when we signed D.Costa and De Sciglio. Nor I have that feeling seeing how we want Renato, Keita and majority of our targets this summer. It's like something went wrong.
