Just a friendly reminder that we have signed only ONE player for the senior squad so far this summer, while Milan and especially Juve have significantly strengthened their first teams. De Vrij’s last two seasons have been plagued by injuries and fitness issues, although he did play all the matches for the Netherlands during the Euro. It would be unwise to rely on him to cover for Acerbi, who has also just recovered from major surgery. This leaves us without a true central center-back. Who will play if Bisseck, Pavard, or Bastoni is unavailable? We are one injury away from a potentially disastrous season.
I hope Oaktree sees this and loosens the financial grip on Marotta dealings. €10M per signing is not gonna get us any one worthy of first team. Man, if it were up to me, I’d tell Arnautovic and Correa to scram or go play with the primavera, promote Satriano to be our 4h striker, sign Hermoso now that he has new agent. That’s €0 + a small sign on fee.

We are in desperate need of a defender.
