I will give it a 8, it would’ve been a 9 if we were luckier with the sells/loans of Arthur, Kostic, Djalo and if we would’ve signed Sancho and maybe another defender. I can’t blame Guintoli for this tho.
Most important decision is signing Motta.
Im positive towards every signing we’ve made, amortisation and stuff wise the team actually became a bit cheaper compared to last year with the current players.
Happy that we’re willing to continue with different NG players aswel.
Chiesa sold for to low, still can’t believe that he ended up going away for such a low amount. Never expected that a few months ago. In general not great work selling

IN: Douglas Luiz (M, Aston Villa, P) - ok deal, bit pricey but 28m plus illing and barrenechea isn't so bad. As a player, I hope he turns out a beast and dominates our midfield but I'm a little sceptic 7.5
Di Gregorio (M, Monza, P) - the unnecessary necessary, we could have survived without this 4th GK. We did overpay but he was voted best in league so meh ok overall - 7
K. Thuram (M, Nizza, P) - I like this move, it wasn't long ago when he was coverted across europe and for 20m? That's what you can buy a 4th GK for nowadays. - 8
Adzic (M, Buducnost Podgorica, P) - super excited to see adzic in action, in fact these are the type of signings teams like Porto, Benfica and Ajax make and then they live off selling them. Great signing - 9
Cabal (D, verona, P) - don't know much about him but looks pretty average, time will tell. - 7
Kalulu (D, Milan, L) - is it a Calafiori, is it a Todibo, No.. it's super Kalulu. and we got him, he's just as happy as I am seeing him join us. - 7
Nico Gonzalez (S, Fiorentina, P) - excited to see his headers, but I think that's all, hope he proves me wrong - 7
Koopmeiners (M, Atalanta, P) - statement signing I'm really intrigued and super excited to see how he does. - 8.5
Conceicao - This guy's gonna win us free kicks and then waste shot, he's gonna be frustratingly good. - 7.5
OUT: Kaio Jorge (S, Cruzeiro, P) - qué Sera Sera kaio
-7
Iling Junior (M, Aston Villa, P) - 7
Barrenechea (M, Aston Villa, P) - 7
Kean (S, Fiorentina, P), - 8
Soulé (S, Roma, P) - 7
Chiesa (S, Liverpool, P) - 5 but mostly down to circumstances, he was our star player.
De Sciglio (D, Empoli, L) - 9.5 he was our worst player
We missed out on a proper CB, we are heavily gonna rely on Bremer but otherwise a really good transfer market. I'm not gonna include Motta in the market as I see the transfer market for players and not really managers, just sounds odd when people include a manager to bump up the score. Anyway final rating 8/10

Outgoing is not perfect but some of it because of players
Kostic : rejected all the offers come
Djalo : shady business from Roma, should have focus to other Serie A teams or Djalo accepting Brest (play in Champions League and need replacement for Brassier), he should focus on getting minutes first and back to his best

More excited going into this season than I have been for a very long time and for that reason I am happy but...
That said Im still disappointed with some of the sales, that we couldn't shift some of the deadwood and i still think we might be very unbalanced... defense and lack of a vice Vlahovic could potentially be an issue but it could also be fine. Maybe this is how Motta wanted the squad to be.
Fingers crossed that this is the beginning of something special.

When looking at this mercato case by case, I think there're many cases we can do better. Rugani, Djalo: poor management, many sales seem low, Koop and Nico's prices are high, buying too late...
But when look at this as a whole, then it's difficult to do better. Clear the old, un-motivated, high-salary squad. The new squad is younger, more promising, more quality with reasonable salaries. The financial side is impressive, too.
It's a great mercato, I rate it 9/10.
