Mercato rating: 3
Our scouting department spent the entire summer in vacation as we signed players who Allegri coached before (Pogba) or the ones he watched many times in his first stint here (Milik, Paredes). The only problem is that those players will be here for a few years, not only this season. (Oh yes we probably will sign Paredes and Milik)
Bremer for MDL was a lateral move but given the cost savings and MDL not exactly a world beater here it’s the deal I liked most, followed closely by ADM. Finally shipping Zak out was the cherry on top of the cake. Not sure if anybody watched him playing before signing him.
overall a very unimaginative mercato. It’s telling that after amassing midfielders for years the best one of the bunch yesterday was a 19 year old homegrown.
ps. Forgot to add obvious weakness in LB. Not only it wasn’t addressed, but we squandered a chance of rejuvenating that department by renewing MDS.
