Unless it's a big name player that has really proven himself and comes with experience, whether a transfer is considered good vs mediocre vs shit is really subjective, especially if you haven't seen a player except for a few games and the player has not put on the shirt yet. We can only properly judge whether or not a signing is good after they've been at the club for a little while. Players explode all the time, and players flop all the time. Just cuz we haven't had a no-name side explode in recent time doesn't mean that all the midtable team players that we're linked with are shit. Proper coaching is a big factor.
Me and necro for example saying that Veretout would be a great signing is subjective, while people saying that ceballos would be a great signing is also subjective, and vice versa. Until they play with the milan shirt we won't know shit. Opinions are opinions.
I agree
Idk why people think Ceballos is such a certainty and would immediately take us to the next level... hes never been consistent.
Sure, hes had two fucking incredible U-21 tournaments but gotta be objective here that shits a level below.
I'd love him here because hes clearly incredibly talented and we could use such a skilled player, but then again only under certain conditions.
Veretout could very well have a bigger impact on our team. Hes been a very good performed for two years in a shit team, playing in various positions.
its no coincidence other good teams are after him.
either way i dont think these two are competing for the same spot in Maldini's shortlist. I think they'll want to get someone will Veretout and a younger player like Bennacer to cover CM this season, and the mysterious 30-40m MR X. being someone like Ceballos or Fekir (but this will probably be linked to players like samu, silva and borini leaving)
