Summer Mercato 2016

[nefremo]

That's unrealistic and unfeasible. This summer there's a very good chance we'll be losing both Balo and Adriano, meaning we need reinforcement for the striker role currently occupied by Bacca. We're not going to find a player that will bench Bacca and if we do, it's not feasible to buy that player and expect the correct reinforcement needed in other areas of the squad. IF we have a real budget this summer, that money should be used to improve in defence and midfield.

The question is what the budget is. With the issues with Bee at the moment it looks unlikely we'll see any investment in the club before June. That means if we get any money towards the market, it'll be from Silvio's pocket, which seems unlikely given his activity (or lack of) in recent years. At this point, expect a transfer market more like the winter one just passed than the one of last summer.

Well you are right that it might be unrealistic......but we can look at it a few different ways. If we CAN'T improve our starting line up, than yes, we need to replace the back-ups that will leave. But than again, they DON'T HAVE to leave. Why don't we just keep Adriano than? He's a better player than Pavoletti imo and he's here already. Or if he leaves, than look within the team.....like Matri. We still own him, and we can bring him back this summer and keep him. I'm not a fan of his....but he is no worse than Pavoletti. Spending money on Pavoletti should not even be an option right now. That way, we can use that 15mil (we were going to spend on Pavoletti) to maybe improve our starting line up and all of a sudden it doesn't look so unrealistic. 

It's the same with the back line. I would rather extend Zapata and keep him rather than spend money on Izzo/De Maio. They are similar level players and I bet if Zapata was in Genoa and Izzo was here, we would now be interested in Zapata. So just keep Zapata. It won't cost us anything....that way we can spend the money on someone that can possibly improve the starting line up. 

But like you said, it's impossible to predict or even guess anything without knowing what our financial situation will be this summer.
