While our squad is heading in the right direction, let’s not ignore that our squad is desperately in need of quality rotational options at CM and CB. Getting cheap fillers here like Bakayoko isn’t going to cut it and it could make or break our season.
I won’t say a word until the transfer market is over, but just because we didn’t get Renato doesn’t mean there isn’t some other central midfielder out there who can add quality, not just numbers, to our squad. If Adli is that guy in midfield, I’m extremely happy. Pioli will make his evaluations. But, if we indeed have money, now is the time to spend it.
I get the frustration of some, and these frustrations are valid, but not as long as the market is open.
By the way, on Origi - apparently he was injured was half the season and constantly carrying knocks and niggles, so what is going on now might not be the exception to the norm. In any case, I think we should keep Lazetic, he can make appearances off the bench and start in the Coppa, he’s still very very young.
