Marchisio and Balotelli always sit next to each other at Italy dinners. Bring him here Prince.

Finally Buffon has learnt that he's better off not diving.

4-3-3 this half with Motta. Better balanced i think. More room for Balo too.

:tup: *checks old Totti 2002 shirt. hmmm*

Why aren't the 4 stars ON the Italy shirt?

Agree. We should get a CAM that can play wide aswell like D.Silva. If Pirlo's injured, Marchisio and Vidal can drop deep. If he's not, the CAM can move to the left or right. That way, no one good need be benched. Best bet is Ramirez.

Could we sell him for 5-6m? Does Conte plan to use him? Realistically, Milan will run away with Scudetto because they have 2 small team killers like Zlatan/Robinho.

Good to hear. Ansaldi and Ramirez would be my picks. Ramirez can also play CAM so it increases our midfield depth. The only risky area is staying with Chiellini/Barzagli/Bonucci as our CBs but i think it's fine with competent fullbacks.

They're not doing it to f*k our season (although that might be an added bonus), they're doing it to help themselves. They obviously want that top3 as much as us... They're at least helping the co-efficient rating unlike us who did nothing to save that 4th CL spot except get raped by Bayern and...

De Laurentis played this beautifully. Hopefully this gives the team motivation to never ever ever miss the CL again.

No probably not in that formation. It might work in a 4-2-3-1 like at Juventus right now. Also 2010 is an unfair evaluation. Who wasn't s***? Personally, i think Prandelli should do more experimenting. His (Barcelona) plan A can be hit or miss.

Alot of Italians jumped off calcio when they came to Aus. and went with AFL. Most i talked to got sick of the 'acting' involved and get attracted to the violence of the AFL. Even though it's tactical, it can be embarrassing watching players roll around when someones hand brushes their face. As...

Yep i knew we'd regret it. To be fair, it was probably too risky getting rid of Krasic at the time but damn, this guy is the closest thing to Nedved in style for a long time. Weren't they asking 18m+ pre-season anyway?

The weak spot is CAM and maybe both CB's. I wouldn't mind seeing a Juventus style formation. ----------Matri------------ Balotelli--Marchisio--Giovinco/Schelotto/Pepe!! ---DeRossi---Pirlo/Motta

Well Prandelli's plans just got raped. No Cassano, no Rossi. Should be a Balotelli and Matri front line.

Napoli is the one team built to f*k up our 4-3-3. Looking forward to see how Conte will play this.

Wtf has happened to Hamsik though. Everytime i see Napoli, he's a ghost. Is LB realistic for January? That should cover us for top3 this year at least.

But how cheap Cissokho? Still 10m+. What about Lavezzi for the Pepe wing? Alot cheaper than a Tevez and probably more suited.

I still say our mid is more of a 2-1 or 1-2. They don't spread across the field and leave Pirlo as an anchor... like Milan do. In that case, it'd be better to chase a real DM in the future. The French guys are expensive but a good investment, as it gives Marchisio and Vidal the freedom to push...

Yep, and he'd have a real shot at Madrid with Mourinho there. Marchisio too IMO. Besides, 2 years ago, Motta, Cambiasso and Shneider were the best Central midfield. Don't know why i'm expected to suck Chelsea, United, Madrid d*ks.(Regarding CM's).
