vs South Korea 61mins Sub- Gattuso in for ADP Thanks Trap, for fk-all. 89 min Unbelievable - Vieri's has missed the easiest chance of the tournament. Di Livio whipped a brilliant low cross in and Vieri, six-yards out and with the goal gapping, blasts it over!!!! What a nightmare that was.

@Madvillain WTF are you on about. This about the attacking 'line-up', not pulling big names out of a hat. The only one that is comparable is Totti-Vieri-ADP vs South Korea and how did they do? For ever, Italy's attack has been dysfunctional in big tournaments, that should be obvious. And all...

Remind me when we played that 4-1-5 formation again?

Yeah but it was always a little static for international play... although that was probably the midfields fault. 96 was pretty fluid attack but we got ambushed by brilliant Czech generation and choked to Germany. This 2012, looks the most dynamic even though individual class doesn't match up.

Best attacking line since i've been watching(usa 94). We actually have some speed to go with the creativity and skill.

:hellyes: I'd be more than happy to see the following leave to make up the 15m difference for Cavani. Giac, Esti, Mati, Quag, Borri. Unless he wants more than 7m wages, i can't see what the problem is.

I'm thinking it was an excellent loan deal that helped everyone but now we can use that 6m elsewhere. At least hold off till we can secure a big name.

So we still have to py 5.5 for Giac?!? and Borri and Caceras 12+ ?? fmd.

It's cool. We'll use him to make the finals and play Pepe for the big game. I'm hoping BM put all the blame on him and sell for <20m.

Get Robben. Perfect timing.

More the player quality than experience I think. Adding Suarez and a FB like Lahm would do wonders but it looks like we'll be lucky to get one WC player.

WTF man, German teams and BM are always unselfish. That's one reason they usually do so well.

:tup::tup::tup:

"These things have been going on for a lifetime and everyone – I repeat, everyone – has too much to lose in order to really change." Let's hope he's right and no-one else comes forward because this s*** is rife in Italy. The guy's a hypocrite though because he's allowed to clear his conscience...

Good to see we've gone cold on Daimio? but surely Vucinic won't be our only creative SS next year. That's a nightmare waiting to happen.

Yeah funny. Ibra is going, probably Cavani, Lavezzi, Robinho plus all these Serie A legends retiring. WTF is becoming of this league. Even Vidal will want to leave in a year or two.

LOL dude we are paying for the national budget. And Conte and Allegri have the same number of trophies is the point. I was responding to some fool who thinks Conte will win CL with this squad, obviously not realizing how s**** serie A is in Euro standards.

unbeaten? bfd. Same points as last season's winner with same overall squad quality + no european play. Obviously Alegri is a pathetic man etc but achievement wise, pretty similar.

Until we're back to a CL semi-final team, Conte really ain't more than Allegri right now.

Decent LB but he isn't flying down the wings like a Maicon, Alves, Marcelo. Thing is we have Chiellini who's coverage is freakish (Mazzarri said he's like 3 men) so it would be good to have someone offensive for certain occasions.
