Don't see how people think this is a good mercato. We are spending 27m on a fairly unproven player. If we had just spent this as per Barca's request before the WC we would've had a player like Sanchez. But no, we don't have the money apparently. And then we go on and spend 22m on a young player in the last year of his contract, foehn for the same money we could've had Mandzukic salary permitting. Are we seriously thinking on relying on Tevez, Llorente and Morata across 3 competitions? And Pepe, Gio and Iturbe as our firepower on the wings? Some may think that'll work out just fine, but please don't be deluded into thinking this is a stellar mercato. Our two biggest signings are equally capable of failing and come with no guarantees, the way a Sanchez or Mandzukic would, even Nani for that matter.
