It is also a gamble however, and for me, much more stressful...but at the end of the day, if it goes according to plan, the buying club look like a genius, and based on how the Russians have been behaving, I personally hope Fester pulls this off...just to laugh in their racist faces*
Would also want us to get Soriano though...but again, with the "no longer interested line" we are also forcing Samp to agree to our terms...again, with limited time...this may also be a "tough negotiation" as I am sure we want to preserve our good relationship with Genoa, therefore don't want to be seen to "gifting" Samp too much cash...
So if we get Whitsel and Soriano in, with Nocerino, Matri, Zaccardo, to go (anywhere) and Mauri on loan...we would have had a pretty good mercato.
*Hasty, lazy, and completely stereotypical generalization of Russian people
I don't think us buying two midfielders on last day is realistic. Even if we do, I'm hoping for more established players than Sorryano... Witsel is not bad, but from what I seen he is also not a creative type midfielder.
Anyway, we got Kucka, we are fine as we are even if we won't sign anyone today...
