At least in one position (the most critical one), this is incorrect. Aubameyang couldn't have made it clearer that the ball was in Milan's court. We made a conscious decision to spend the money that would've signed him on two strikers instead. I think that has been shown to be a poor short-term decision.
I forgot to mention one more thing. We also didnt want to overpay anyone. We paid realistic prices for everyone (this is arguable, but F&M stated it).
You are right about Auba, although i feel the club didnt want to let him go for a reasonable price (almost same like Belotti)
Btw, at some point in mercato Mirabelli said BVB didnt want to sell Auba, if that counts for anything
I actually don't feel as dejected as I felt during the last years of the Berlusconi era. This project have started poorly, but given the big risk that was taken it should be no surprise.
I'm in no rush for success and very calm, if IF, the owners are serious. Sadly we don't have much information about them and it's hard to guess what's gonna happen next. I hope someone planned that this scenario could happen.
Well, you are right... for sure this is better than then end of Berlusconi's era. Anything is better than spending 0-5m on transfers. I expected it will take time yeah, but i also expected really good games here and there, like winning some bigger club, or totally trashing bad one.. but instead we lose points vs "amateurs"
@forward no, we couldnt sign a wc midfielder... as i said, Tolisso rejected us and he wasnt wc. Which other would want to come? I think we all(fans) underestimate the fact that we are not very popular destination for top players anymore.. for last 10 years or so.
Its like you try explain to a 18 year old how great Baresi was, or Van Basten... good luck with that, all they know is Messi and CR unfortunately
