people facepalmed about valero and vecino too.............
I'm happy with this deal if it happens, his work rate is equal to 2 players in midfield. Would be nice if we signed some creative players too but I doubt it'll happen.
Your point being? People wanted a leap in quality for our midfield. Neither one of them has given us that. Not saying they're bad players, but they've not really taking us to any new level. In my mind the only real difference in our position this season and last is Skriniar and without him we'd be where we were last season.
Don't we have like five Ramires already?
Ramires is a box-to-box midfielder just like Brozovic, Vecino and Gagliardini.
If anything, this deal proves that the above mentioned players aren't the players we thought they would become and weren't successful signings.
Brozovic might be considered successful since his value has risen since he joined us but the other two, if we were to sell them today we would be selling them for a loss.
But as Shaun pointed out, non of the three have given us that leap in quality.
We need a man to win Scudetto, not a bunch of kids.
I tired see Brozovic, Gagliardini, and Joao Mario.
Bring in Valero, with Ramires, and maybe Vidal or Nainggolan next year.
So we can win Scudetto.
You can look Real Madrid, or Barcelona.
Modric, Kroos, and Casemiro.. they kick James, they don't need kids, they need a man. Casemiro>>>James.
Barca buy Paulinho, because he is a man, not kids anymore.
