Still better than relying on Diaz and the pub player…
Oh yeah I can't disagree with that
But it's a matter of risk and long term planning vs. short term success.
Basically you would be gambling that
(a) the quality improvement from Faivre and Jamse is significatn enough
(b) the scudetto race would be open enough for us to compete (who knew even in winter that Napoli and Inter would be loosing so many points)
(c) those 2 players do not flop and become long term financial liability
If everything goes right - those 2 become quality additions to the squad, we win scudetto, we get more money, more prestige, better CL group, etc.
But if it doesnt, then we are stuck with 2 useless players (one on huge salary), we spent money on them which we could have invested in better talents, our plan gets significantly derailed.
My risk assesment of this might be much different than yours, but for me this is clearly not a good gambit. The improvement of quality is there but is not good enough to guarantee anything and to outweigh the risk.
With MMM approach we might miss out know, but we are on track for the future.
(Ofc this is all hindsight, in winter I wanted Faivre too.)
we have a new sponsor almost every week.
