:hellyes: He's also perfect for counter-attacks which is essential for Italian teams in CL. I'd go up to 40m assuming we have 30m left to spend.

It's the tempo/speed that will kill us. We look quick in serie a but these top CL teams will dominate possession. Best solution is to have brilliant counter-attack like Napoli. Cavani is a must tbh.

DC seems pretty useless in a 3-5-2. Watching Madrid play now and fmd, we 're a fair way off. Buffon Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini Pepe - Vidal - Pirlo - Marchisio - Caceres Cavani - Vucinic(on a rare day) might match them.

:toast: Also agree with DiMaria supporters. Getting a Winger who tracks back is probably even more important than replacing Vucinic(creative SS). Without Pepe's role, we are forced to play 3-5-2. Needs cover. Vucinic/Quags/ADP - Cavani/Quags/Matri - Pepe/DiMaria?/?

Perfect time to get Rossi. And Dzeko would be cool, unless he wants No. 10, in which case, forget him.

I still think Rossi will be a target. A Jo-jo/Suarez - Rossi - Pepe? front line would be perfect to counter teams who want to press us high.

If prandelli wants to go for the trophy, they need to risk Balo. Will probably backfire, but so what, i don't give a %&$* about an honorable 4th place or some sh*t. Doubt we'll even pass the group with provincial strikers.

Don't think there will be a vice Pirlo. Unless you can regista like him, it's safer to just play a DM. Asamoha? What we need is real WC No.10/SS, so the midfield isn't forced to provide all the creativity.

I imagine his motivation is pretty high to win title this year (even though he won't show it.) Sure, Milan has had some success with Alegri's 4DM's + Ibra but look at trash they put up against Barca. 30% possession 'but we got some good tackles on Messi' lol. Hopefully Conte has him hitting he...

Key point really. As long as Pirlo is in mid, we need a workrate winger against top CL teams, no question. I 'd also prefer a fwd like Rossi, who can make off-the shoulder runs, especially against the CL teams who will press us and keep us pinned back. HIquain won't be much better than...

He was really desperate for a win at the end. I remember on one occasion, he tried to dribble players like he was Messi Lol. You can see he misses CL.

That can be worse. Too much bad luck and players start thinking its not meant to be. The good thing is that we're 7 points over 4th so they shouldn't get too stressed... unlike end of last season when every bad result was fatal.

The frustrating part now is that we'll have to rely on players (Matri, Pepe, Vuci) who are most likely to get upgraded if we make Cl. Conte really needs to get their confidence up and even get Marotta to shut down the transfer talk.

Playing the season of his life. Shame that we have so few targets at corners. Chiello can't hit the target, Bonucci can't hit the ball, Matri and Barz jump like white men, and Vidal and Marchisio are strangely average in the air.

oh ffs

yep. As long as he plays a destroyer role, he's a star. Any good offensive play is a bonus.

pfft. as soon as italy is back on track, they revert to treating friendlies like sh*t.

no balo -no italy.

first objective = top 3 second objective = who gives a fk

formation dont make that much difference. having b-grade attack lines does.
