more than 5 is a crime for me
Undoubtedly been a dip in form and it's painfully obvious when we have subpar players on the pitch. Some of our better players did play poorly yes, but when DALOT is on the pitch it's utterly obvious that he's a donkey player can't do anything correct, same with Meite

He is in line with other top GKs in Europe.
Luis Alberto is such a damn good player. I wish we had him. I know Lazio is losing but he's such a composed player, if Lazio was able to improve a few other areas they would be a real force with SMS & Luis Alberto
L. Alberto is top class.

On the other hand, Immobile has been trash in this game while SMS as average as ever. Could never understand the hype about SMS....always thought he was nothing more then average.
We need to spend absolutely nothing on players like Dalot/Diaz/Meite. We need guys who can elevate our team, not some guy who is merely a guy who can put a jersey on. We needed to sign some higher quality player in Jan mercato too, but well, i guess management didn't believe in a Scudetto run.

Letting one of the best goalkeepers in the world leave for free is a crime for me. Market value at €60m... (Transfermarkt)

Exactly this. For example that Meite dude. Guy wasn't good enough for relegation battler Torino. So, who's that "genious" who thought that such a gem can and will bring anything for this team? Even as last choice? And Meite is indeed ,as expected ,pure disgrace so far. And he won't be any better. It is so "late Galliani era" move that it is absolutely ridiculous. 
What's "good" in all that travesty is that he's here on non obligated loan instead on 3 year heavy contract. At least some improvement ,but still ,money we'll spent on his salary would be better invested if someone went to casino and put it on black or red. At least 50% chance it will bring you something.

I can't say I understood getting Meite whatsoever considering we didn't manage to get rid of Krunic.. I still think Krunic is a far better player than Meite, and that says a lot.
Easy guys. Maldini has got a tough job to balance the need of top quality player and financial capability especially in the long run.

Buying a player able to elevate the quality of the team is never easy particularly in winter mercato.

Our main goal is not scudetto, that should be clearly understood. Let's be honest, based on the quality of our team it is not that difficult to admit that the team can't be a scudetto contender. There is still a lot of improvement to be done if we want to have a strong team to compete with Juve and Inter in Serie A.
