@de_ledgaun: Well yea, what I mean is, we weren't the ones getting our hopes up. It's the board thats been talking big. And if they deliver those three by the end of it, then I'd say it's a par mercato. Nothing to write home about, we'll still be behind Inter, Milan, perhaps Napoli, Lazio and on par with Roma. Realistically, I'd expect fourth place for this team, assuming we'll be more consistent this term, and Napoli, and Lazio, less so. But whatever. I said it before and I'll say it again, I'd take Cassano over Vucinic and Rossi. Maybe, even bring Diego back on a free, to feel more confident about our attacking options which I think are good at the moment, but susceptible for an injury ravaged team.
The LB maybe overlooked this mercato and could be considered for next season. Coates is someone I'd look at, while maybe getting rid of Barzagli/ Bonnucci since Lugano is only a stop gap solution. I still think we need another DM, 424 or not. My mercato would be something like this as things stand: Cassano/Diego, Coates, Mata, Lugano, Caceres as backup RB since I don't see Motta stay either. It wouldn't cost more than what we're spending currently. The DM is still a missing piece and Diarra looks unlikely, while selling Melo looks more and more likely to be a mistake.
