Marrone - isn't he better suited for Vidal's or Marchisio's positions? And I wouldn't say screw Torres just yet. Let's see what happens in the market first and have some options. If Torres is willing to come here and does his part he is far from a bad signing. Especially on loan.
We need a defender, maybe another midfielder, certainly one and preferably two creative forwards... That's 4 players with the desire for 5. And they all have to be upgrades on what we have. Add a CF to that list and make him the highest priority (for example Gonzalo/Cavani) and its already ludicrous to even consider such a mercato.
I'd say this would be the summer where Marotta will make it or brake it as our GM. I know it sounds repetitive given that we are saying the same thing every transfer window, but in all fairness due to the higher levels achieved by the team this year, the significance of the next step and the quality of players we ought to be looking for I truly believe that either we gonna build a great team next season or we will weaken, as there is no 'status quo ante' in football. Wheeling and dealing is key now.
