They had Pazzini wearing the No10 ffs. No-one should get it if there's no-one's worthy.

Agree with this. Though i could still see Matri-Vucinic-Jovetic rotating for 2 spots and still be happy with their playing time. Either way, we need a mid/winger to upgrade Pepe, 3 strikers is ridiculous.

Need a CB who's excellent on the ball. Too easy to sit on Pirlo and we don't have a No10 who can hold the ball under pressure. Milan, Barca, RM get so much value from CB's who can act like deep playmakers if need be.

Yeah I watched them. Different world back then. There were like 14 Italians in the CL winning squad. Imagine trying to replicate that. That's true. There is so much luck, circumstance involved. The fan-hate Marotta creates though is good entertainment. Yeah and that f*cker scored one of the...

No doubt there... but if we're talking CL, then it won't take much to outdo Moggi. 1 CL on penalties with a decade of superstar teams, when Serie A was CLEARLY the best league in Europe. Pffft. Now we are ~3rd/4th best league. No longer have a sugar-daddy owner. Plus a whole new level of Oil...

As i was watching Giac play yesterday, i started thinking how pathetic Elia and Krasic must be in training.

That Pepe pass is a high-line killer. If the the forwards time their runs more in synch, it could be destructive next season/CL. About the only way to beat teams like Barca/Madrid.

Pirlo went into cruise control around few years ago. Happens when you win everything. While Xavi kept on improving as it coincided with Spain/Barcelona's success. Personally i think Pirlo should've put on some bulk to make him a better player. Anyway, as long as we get CL, the contract will...

What about the wage issue RE: WC players? If the club don't want him going over 6m, then howTF is he going to get an Aguero-level player next summer? A WC CB is possible <6m but the forward will probably a step lower (like Nasri) or someone unproven in big leagues.

Yeah but how many top clubs really get cheap players who become first teamers? Apart from Barca (who operates more like a national team), most clubs wouldn't be too different to us would they. We do have Marchisio and Chiellini.

lol. Na over here, frontrunner means someone who only plays well when the team is flying. He's got 5 assists this year. Nice goal Boateng.

That's why they should give teams league points for EL wins. If EUFA doesn't provide the incentive, then FIGC should for the good of Italian football.

Aquilani's a frontrunner. He did set up their goal and a couple other ops.

Seems unfair for Napoli, to do well in the CL, help the co-efficient but then fail in the league because of it. Maybe serie a should look at giving league points to teams who win in Europe.

Lol listen to them say Joe Hart is keeping them in the CL and is playing a great game. I guess they missed the 2 goals.

"You know Franco, you and your mate Massaro already f**ked up the shoot-out."

Ramirez can play anywhere. He's Nedved-like. I wonder how far we can go with someone like Vidal playing at CAM. It's unusual but it might work in other ways. He would provide far more pressure than players like Ozil etc and can still be creative. Would love to see that formation in a big CL...

In: Ramirez, Ansaldi, Montolivo, Apelt Lichtsteiner - Barzagli- Chiellini - Ansaldi ----------Pirlo------Vidal----------- -------------Marchisio-------------- Ramirez-----------------Vucinic---- --------------Matri--------------

Doesn't surprise me, even though he's not playing him now. This team needs all the firepower it can get. After we get top3 though, he'll probably be expendable.
