Italian pride for the black n white. Club and history should matter, not just the money.

I'd go for a war with those 2.
It should matter but we should not buy them by default. Italians had a rough patch where they lacked players on all positions, they were below their usual quality and I was all for foreigners. It seems this new generation is bringing back some good old stuff so I would not mind buying some talented guys like Frattesi and Scamacca.

I admit I ate shit for not trusting Barella. He turned into a literal monster. Luckily we managed to sign Chiesa and Locatelli, both are really wonderful players.

What’s wrong with Pellegrini? A solid backup to MDS who is our most in-form and best natty full back.
He's average at best. He played pretty poorly yesterday, several misplaced passes. Sometimes he has good games here and there. Better than Sandro though

Scamacca has scored another today.
I just wonder if Scamacca is the player we are looking for the lethal goalscorer or he is more of a Quagliarella which means he might score a lot but might also be just good and not great.
If I recall Quagliarella he was ok for us but nothing special. It is true he went and had a great season at Sampdoria but he never really had a great season at a top club.

I believe in the summer we will see Ramsey and Dybala leaving while Vlahovic and a central midfielder arrive - Right now my bet is more on AM than CM and if I need to pick, I say L.Alberto since he is not so loved by Lazio anymore and he represent "an opportunity".
Pogba? I can only see it happen if we somehow clinch 4th place.

Pellegrini > MDS > Sandro

Scamacca is a morata level player. Vlahovic is what we need.
I would gladly let Morata go and sign Scamacca.

I would rather sign Scamacca + sign some quality mid player rather than sign Vlahovic for double the amount and close mercato right away. If you have "a plan" of us selling 10 players and signing another 10, it's probably a FM wet dream and not realistic, because no, we cannot sign Vlahovic + another great mid player. Chances are high we can't afford only Vlahovic, let alone more players.

Splashing our budget on one player doesn’t sound as the most tactical decision indeed. I completely agree

As much as I love Luis Alberto, do we need an attacking midfielder? I can perhaps see the argument that we may need him as a Dybala replacement if he leaves, but if he stays I think we should go for a capable deep lying regista who can cover the defensive work while Locatelli is given more freedom to get closer to goal. I.e. an Arthur replacement
