Well it seems wrapping up Costa and Bernardeschi early was smart. Even in the space of a month, the market has experienced inflation. Now Thomas Lemar is approaching 90M? Oxlaide-Chamberlain for 35-40M?

I would say our attacking reinforcements were 8 out of 10. I think Bernardeschi finds his place somewhere on the team quite comfortably because he is younger and can play anywhere but I'm not sure about Costa.

Szczesny is a coup. Howedes is a coup. If Matuidi has 3 years left in those legs, he's a coup. But I still would have liked to see a more definitive plan with the CMs. We know straight away that Marchisio and Khedira are big question marks. I think we needed 1 more quality CM and ship Khedira if you have to.

And the RB situation was bottled, I have to say. Marotta must have known Alves could leave at any second. And it seemed like we were somehow unprepared, not even linked to good solutions. Banking on Atalanta send us Spaghettino was hopeful and it's hopeful to count on him as a true RB anyways. How did we end up with MDS if Allegri is not even playing him? We're all thinking he requested him but he's benched so who knows.

I don't care about Keita but losing Schick hurt. Usually I like to see our mercato include a promising player, a rising stock of sorts. I guess that is meant to be Bentancur now.

I have to give the mercato a 7. I think we were in a position to do better than we did. It's not a bad mercato by any means but it's below the standard Marotta has set I think.

I'm happy about not getting Keità.
We'll have some chances to get Milinkovic next summer.

The way I see it we lost two starters and brought in 7 depth players. Although, some of them have the potential to be future stars.

Last year our Mercato was huge and I gave it 9/10.

Now it's 6/10 for me.

Perhaps we really believe n this Del Sole kid that we aren't planning on selling him, or maybe we believe he'll be worth 80-100 million someday :D

ADP done, Del Sole close. Pellegri more than Salcedo.

    Guess no more transfers unless something mad happens. Time to start waiting for our next summer:

    -Spinazzola back
    -Caldara finally joins
    -Buyback option for Lirola
    -Kean comes back from his loan (if he leaves for Verona)
    -Mandragora comes back from his loan
    -Chance of De Vrij on a free
    -Big chance of Can on a free
    -Big players like Sanchez and Iniesta nearing the end of their contracts

    Only fear I have is Sandro or Dybala leaving, since the bids are getting bigger, they've achieved almost everything they can here and our wages aren't getting any bigger :'(
