It is a year, yes.

I think it's failure to get anyone decent that's leading to last-minute desperation. There's only 4 days to go of the Mercato.

Midfield and defence are a f*cking disaster. If this is our lot till January we can wave goodbye to UEL and you can quote me on that.

Anything about whether they have an option to buy him?

Personally think we should have kept him and sold Alex or Zapata (Alex is on a big wage, Zapata would have gotten us a decent amount of cash in)

Wow, and you're talking about EL here, not even CL. Tbh I was hopeful that Galliani would make one final swoop that would surprise all of us. Now I think he's a senile old idiot who should have been let go years ago.

For all those who have been his apologists for years now, saying if he had money he'd be killing it in the transfer market. Well here's to you guys!

If we make into a EL spot, I'll be surprised now!

No, no, no, no, no no, NO!!!

F*ck this baldhead motherf*cker and his f*cking idiotic deals!

My hopes were a decent mercato would solidify us in top 5, and I stuck by that. UEL was my aim. Doesn't matter how much you spend, it's about who you get in, and while X reckoned 100M should have guaranteed top 3 I was never as optimistic, and was happy with 5th.

Now I'd be happy with not being relegated. This, Bacca aside, has been an absolute disaster of a Mercato. F*ck, we brought bloody Balo back as well!

We stumble from one sh*t stain to another.

I believe Paletta is what is called a 'dry loan'. AKA no option to buy.

And Paletta is the worst of those 3 by a mile - he won't be missed. Alex may have his injury issues but he's still our best defender IMO, while Zaps has plenty to offer too.

Who gives a cr*p how much they'd bring in, we'd just spunk it on a crash test dummy from Taiwan.

WTF is Kucka going to solve??? I just cannot comprehend in the slightest how Galliani's head works. How does he make these deals? Does he think it through at all? My god, what a shambles of a mercato this turned out to be. 85M spent and we're as sh*t as we were last season. And people thought the only reason we had been so bad was because we didn't spend...

I am honestly hoping in an absolute debacle, relegation even so this scum of a management gets the f*ck out, with Galliani in primis.

Zenit will most likely sign Moutinho.

CM.com reports that Milan have ultimately pulled off the Witsel race as they deem Zenit's requests as too expensive.

Don't push the knife any deeper, bro. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Watch Juve sign him

Suddenly a player we are desperate for is deemed too expensive.

But throwing away 20m on Roma's bench player was perfectly okay

Or throwing 8m at Shakhtar for a player we could have gotten for free in January was also more than okay.

If it weren't actually happening right now I wouldn't believe this would have happened in May. Even in all my negativity towards Galliani, I never would have imagined he'd pull off something like this.

We needed at least one world class player in midfield, a top creator that could finally provide that quality we've been lacking since Pirlo's and Seedorf's departures. Who do we get? Bertolacci and Kucka.

I'm still incredulous...

Oh, and Jose Mauri too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
