Not a good mercato but a lot of things we've been forced into.
De Ligt was sold heavily discounted. Di Maria is a stop gap signed only for one year. Milik and Paredes are average players. Rabiot, Pjaca and Arthur still remain at our squad. No new full-backs. Kostic is a totally out of position player for all our main formations so far. All in all our situation is worse in CB and RB/LB and worse at ST/CF. However our midfield and wings is improved. Very much a net zero mercato.
However, we did some good too. Miretti, Fagioli and Gatti all push the average wages and ages of the squad down and seem to all have a place in the squad, not to mention they keep our Italian core alive which is an underrated key in team cohesion and longetivity. If we can keep our players fit, Pogba, Miretti, Di Maria and Kostic add a dash more creativity and urgency than we had last season.
If Allegri could somehow make a 3-man defense work with a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3 to put Bremer, Kostic and Danilo into their best positions, and keep shitstains like De Shitlio and Sandro off the pitch, we could have a very good XI on field.
