Our good run is clearly different to the ones many have mentioned in previous posts. The indicators are the team's quality of the games, individual forms and mentality. Our prime goal should be keeping our top form towards the end of the season. From what I have seen, Maldini co. have been doing that. We have been chasing players for the bench (reliable and quality ones). We brought Tonali, not specifically to improve our play but to provide reliable backup for the core of a team, the midfield department. The rumors also suggest that we are chasing Bakayoko. Having both players should give some kind of guarantee that our midfield would not run out of gas. If Kessie and Bennacer don't give their best, the new CMs could force them to the bench.
We also brought Diaz who could be sub for Hakan's and alternative for our wings. The right fullback position seems still in the second target in this mercato. Some said we will only buy new RB if we have sold Calabria (Conti), but I still think that the position is not our first priority.
I do think, after we got another CM (Bakayoko or other alternative), we would pursue to a reliable CB for Romagnoli's/Kjaer's backup. We only have Musacchio as decent bench. Gabbia is still too young and inexperienced to achieve our CL spot's target although he has shown quality when he was given the chance to play while Duerte seems unable to be relied on.
If we managed to get one quality CB, our next purchase might be right fullback and/or starting-quality right wing. This is surely to improve our game. However, IMO that would be our last critical priority in this mercato.
