This would be my dream close to the mercato:
BUY: Alex (EU10m), Lugano (free), Mascherano (EU18m), Vargas (EU15m)
SELL: Bonucci (12m), Martinez (3m), Amauri (4m), Iaquinta (3m), Manninger (2m), Grygera (1m)
Further net spend of around EU22m. Gross spend up to now has been EU38m and we have already sold Sissoko for 7m and Melo practically for 12m. Total Net spend for the mercato (excluding the buying out of loaned players which was accounted for previous year) is just over EU40m (or 50m if you only include the loan up front amount for Melo). So this is DOABLE!
