We will all know for sure in the next 60 hours when the window closes. Our speculation will soon be over.

If Elia is our big name left winger then I will be a little dissapointed - although it is looking increasingly likely that he will be.

Rhodolfo doesn't look like a bad signing for around 8m. An Alves-Bonucci swap looks like a no brainer.

The one thing I will say about this mercato is that the money spent on defense was the key. Lichsteiner, Rhodolfo and a potential Alves-Bonucci swap would have probably meant that we spent around half of our budget on propping up the defense which is the right thing. If you look back at last season - that was clearly the area that needed fixing the most.

Central midfield didn't end up costing much in net terms because Pirlo was free, we sold Sissoko for 7m. We spent 13m for Vidal - so thats net 6m and we got 1.5m for the loan of Melo and could get another 10m next year for him.....so in net terms we hardly spent anything on central midfield but arguably there is more quality with Vidal and Pirlo - question as to whether its a balanced formation or not.

Wings? Until now, we have spent nothing really. Giaccherini was only 3m and Estigarribia is a cheap loan. If we can successfully get a top class winger and sell Pepe - we basically wouldn't have spent anything. In fact, even if we caved in to Fiorentina and paid the EU15m they are asking for Vargas, we will probably get close to 10m from Zenit for Pepe. So no real money spent there.

Attack? Vucinic? Meh. Not a bad signing but not a great one either.

If we get Alves, Rhodolfo and Elia I can't say it was a bad transfer campaign considering how much we spent. Our budget for the YEAR I think was EU50m NET. Based on these transfers....our net spend would be far less than that. This keeps our powder dry for the January transfer window. If we can go into the January transfer window being in the top 3......some big clubs that got knocked out of Europe may be tempted to sell some players.....that could be an opportunity to complete the squad.

BUT it all depends on the next 60 hours

So, will you admit after 60h, if we dont sign a defender (not the free estigarbage like though) that this mercato has FAILED, miserably?

For CM, we spent nothing, but we lose at least 15mil of the invested money on Melo, as we could have kept him, instead of adding Pazienza.
Why lose 15mil for no reason?

We spent nothing and got nothing, or maybe smth less that nothing, as those crappy players can only hurt our performances instead of improving, let alone the loss of Krasic...

Attack, we spent 30mil to complete the deals of Quaq and Matri, failed to get rid of Amauri, Toni and Iaq.
Why on hell buy yet another 15mil forward then??? Just why???
Why dont spend that sum on our left wing and defense, we are buying the estigarbages now, because we spent our cash to replace Melo with Vidal and Quaq with Vucinic.
Couldnt we avoid buying Quaq or Vucinic, or less Melo?
Just any of this could land a decent LW (Vargas) or CB (Alex) !

And then, why buy yet another forward Gieccherini, to play as the 7th choice of SS ??
This is completely absurd, even if we plan to use him as LW, it means that we have learned nothing from our mistakes (Martinez)
