8/10 max is the fairest score.
+ Hired Motta
+ Revamped the squad as much as possible on a "relatively modest" budget
+ Addressing the biggest issues in the main squad that has been neglected for years if not decades (midfielders and wingers)
+ Reducing the salary cost of the club
- Defenders signings are underwhelming despite the potentials
- Some of the outgoings are amazing (how did he make Fiorentina pay for Kean while later shopping for their best player yet again), but some are meh (Soule etc), and some are bad or failed to materialize
- Could have had alternatives from outside serie a for players like Cabal, Kalulu, Koop and Nico
If we're building a new modern JJ then we have to start prioritizing buying players from outside dinosaur serie a no matter what in the future.
