You are no different than bpl muppets. Care more about flashy signings than actual results on the field.

Then continue to live the illusion that CL final can be won by depth and without a top player in every position.

We dont need another CM.

Just close the mercato. Buying useless loan options is going to be hardly significant to us as we have the midfield depth now.

I wish Khedira and Sturaro were offloaded but it's too late now anyway.

Sturaro can be sold no matter what tbh. He won't contribute anyway, he doesn't suit 4231 at all.

Khedira? IMO we'll let him go next Summer and replace him with Can.

Overall I agree - we don't need a new CM as things stand. I'd hate us to spend 40m+ on Strootman for example. Andre Gomes is another name we should stay away from.

So we are going to depend on two midfielder pjanic and matuidi hopefully marchisio overcome his injury problems

Marchisio is out for a month not for the whole season. Khedira, even though I don't like him is an ok-ish backup. Bentancur is already showing promise and I think we should be putting more faith in him than making another useless loan signing just to make up the numbers.

For a 2 man midfield formation, we are pretty much well c0vered.

So what happens if we face real Madrid or Bayern Munich there is chance that our midfield will get overrun again

Keita is not needed right now just like Verratti was not needed when we had the world class midfield that shortly disappeared after that. And Verratti is only in our wet dreams now. We can't spend big so we have to take the opportunity when it presents itself.
Verratti collapsed because of player exchanges and then Qatar stepped in, and he also wouldn't have exploded as quickly at Juve given our midfield. We can only stack so many players.

Llorente to Chelsea for €16M....

Just goes to show how terrible a seller Beppe is
- Transfer values are far higher now
- Prem teams have money to throw around
- He's just come off a 15-goal league season
- He was allowed to go for free for personal reasons
- We signed him for free and he had a high salary to get off our books
- Yes we could have got a small fee for him, but buyer held all the cards given the above

So it doesn't show an awful lot really, it's the same as the Tevez deal.

Problem with Losing both Keita and Shick is that arguably they are the two best offensive talent in Serie A under 23 years old bar Dybala. They were attainable at bargain prices and we had leverage to get them both.
Transfer fees exploded and the coming years we want have chances like to get talent like these two at 30mil.
So we may not needed them now, but it would've been a great plan for the future.

I agree, it bothers me too, but dont forget Kean, he might have a bigger ceiling than both of them.
