On some level, I could agree. Depends on the player. I think a player like Kostic will acclimate to Serie A and Juve very quickly. But definitely agree its very hard to replace 1/3 of the squad seamlessly and not expect early season pains. Which killed us last season.
The huge difference is we're buying experienced players this time instead of rookies. And we didn't switch coaches/style.

Danilo is being massively overrated by a lot on this forum lately.

He’s a good, honest professional, but doesn’t add a lot on the field tbh. Can’t attack, makes the odd fuck uo defensively and is prone to errors. But he’s a likeable guy who seems to love the club so he gets a pass. We really could do better in his position too, but priorities obviously lie elsewhere.
Welocme to the mediocre Danilo club.
Now we are 2 people in it.

I kinda hope that some people would join the mediocre de ligt club, but I guess that people still need a couple of years to learn to diferentiate between grinta and quality.

I am amazed everyday that the transfer market has turned into "if i don't HEAR about my team doing something they probably aren't doing something."

That kind of mentality is just so ridiculous to me. It makes sense from an EPL perspective, they've turned the transfer window into a bonafide leak window where every team is leaking their targets and news to hype up their team for the news cycle. Makes a lot less sense to have that expectation of Serie A.

Yes, some teams are moving very quick. Those teams probably had some of these deals in the works in January. See Lukaku to Inter, see Real and Tcouameni, see Bayern and Sane and Bayern and Gravenberch. Not every team is going to move at the same pace.

Given the amount of dead weight we're wanting to offload as a club as well as the massive transfer made in January instead of this summer, I think there is some room for patience and understanding. But apparently if twitter isn't blowing up with Fabrizio dropping his moronic "Here we go" bullshit then our club is sitting still.
I think most of us are just shitposting during a slow mercato period. I know I am.

So are you implying that the club has been waiting for the summer to begin working on offloading dead weight? Why would the club be patient about that?

We should have signed CR7 and Neymar by now if they were offered to us. No-brainer moves for us to get top 4 next season.

I'm not exaggerating but he's the Brazilian DeS, I mean the DeS that was once a half decent player.

Solid in defense, prone to odd fuckups, but does fuck all offensively. Pretty much a DeS from the favela's.

DeSciglio from the favelas? Come on, he's much better than that. Honestly think B81 is having a bad influence on you guys with his hatred and pet names for all our players :sergio:

Come on King Crab. Why u do dis? I only shit on players worthy of loathing.

Danilo is solid and dependable, two qualities I can't attribute to De Shitlio, at least not in his current guise.

Lol you are a seer i was watching earlier extended highlights of that 1994 greece-argentina, @GiocataGrande equipazo: sensini, redondo, simeone, maradona, caniggia, bati, balbo. Granted their CBs were ass but that team was really entertaining.
All legends in my book. Redondo was a baller, one of my favorite players growing up.

Chelsea has opened a charity? Buy the player for 85 million, then loan the player a year later with 8 million without a buy option.
Can't they loan us Ziyech or Pulisic for 2 mil?
Brilliant business by Marotta and inter tbh .

You see that, what I (and most people) see is a team being strengthened in the areas they need before the season even starts. Quick, decisive and clear intentions in what they want for their coach. It’s not a perfect mercato for them, because at the end of the day, like us, they are in the shitty poverty Italian league, but it’s good as they can get. Bringing back a player they sold for 100m a year ago on a 10m loan? Lmaooo you’d be gurgling Cherubini’s balls for that.
I understand your point. I'm not saying it's bad business for Inter, they do everything they can considering the circumstances. However, as always, the media is presenting everything in a positive way for them. The other way to look at it is that they are bringing players that might be finished already. Lukaku in the last few years has been good only under Conte, Miki was no longer decisive even at Roma, and we all know the condition Dybala has been in recently.

It was the same last year. Only one player will leave they said. In the end they sold both Lukaku and Hakimi while Conte walked as well. What if this year it's gonna be the same, meaning they sell both Skriniar and Lautaro. Would you say they improved in the long run?

Coming back to Juve, the club is answering the needs of the squad. We lacked a CF, they brough Vlahovic. The midfield is weak, they brought Zakaria and secured Pogba. I really see no reason to complain at this point.

The complaints have one reason - this mgmt seems to be working in shadows - not feeding media to any of the info, so most of us are worried as it seems that they are doing nothing, when the team needs so many changes. Hopefully this is the case and in reality we already secured most of the transfer or we are at final stages. But we have to keep in mind that some transfers of our mgmt were done with a blink of an eye - like Gatti one, where we werent even linked to him and then boom, he is ours.
At the same time, we have to keep in mind that these guy reacted to CR7 leaving with Kean transfer, so the worries of the fans are understandable.

Not only Gatti but also Vlahovic and Zakaria. Half of January the media was linking us to garbage like Aubameyang, Icardi, Milik et consortes while all of a sudden Della Vale came up with Vlahovic. Zakaria was done within the last week of the mercato even though according to the media he was promised to Bayern on free or wanting to evaluate his options peacefully while his contract runs out. Gatti was already in Torino CF they said.

Not to mention they managed to offload both Bentancur and Kulusevski in the meantime.

If January was reassuring for you guys I don't know what will.
