Our main mistake was thinking just because we finally spent some money that we will suddenly be good.
At the moment we are unbalanced. There is a lot of promise in midfield and on the wings. But Barbosa has not integrated into the team yet. Joao Mario needs more time to reach his full potential for us. Candreva can still improve his understanding with his team mates, namely Perisic and Icardi.
But our backline is still pretty weak. Its why we played a conservative style under Mancini. Because these defenders need to be set up in a low block, with at least 6 of them back, to have any sort of consistent defensive success. playing higher, both Miranda and Ranocchia struggle. On top of which, our fullbacks are our biggest weakness. I have hope for Ansaldi though, and even Santon. But not Nagatomo or D'Ambrosio, really. If we get 6 or 7m for either of those two, its a success. Even a swindle.
