This is a SMART mercato, we dont need a big spending mercato because we already have a great team, what we need is a good bench that can provide different options during the season.
Let me tell you why all of our signings so far have been smart.
Evra: He does not only give us the opportunity to change to a back four defense with a solid lb but also enables Asamoah to be used as an alternative for the cm if needed. Besides who can do better as an role model for Asamoah to become a great lb and only for 2m.
Iturbe: Finally the quick, skilled, paceful winger we've been asking who already had a great season last season with a recently promoted team at 20 yr old, c'mon he even made Luca Toni had an amazing season. For todays mercato paying 25m + 2m in bonuses is a fair price, I still cant believe some of you thought we would get Sanchez for 25m after he scored 21 goals and gave 11 assists it was obvious that Barca were going to wait for the WC to make his price raise. If you dont remember, before Sanchez last season at Udinese, when he was 22, he was considered a flop cuz he wasn't even half the player Iturbe is at his 20.
Morata: I think scoring 8 goals in 23 games coming off the bench is a good stadistic considering he plays for RM whose opponents usually play extremely defensivly. I've seen him play in many games and he surely is versatile as he can play on the center or at the left wing and with a bit more confidence he could fulfill his whole potential.
As I said unless we sell Pogba or Vidal we dont need a big spending mercato just the few players to make our bench more effective.
