Agreed. Anyone who has to play with Fontana, Cassani, Guana, I feel pity for them. How can you look good when opposition shoots from 40 yards, and you see 100 year old GK scrambling across in vain?

Barzagli is somewhat harshly criticised IMO. The price may be expensive, but the guy played on quite easily the worse defensive unit in Serie A. Guana as a DM? I think some people here hasnt seen Guana tackle. He always misses a player by a good meter or two. Cassani as a fullback? Its like...

I'll make a excuse for Barza: (1) He has GK who lets in goal if any boal goas further than a meter than him. (2) Guana is shittest defensive midfielder I have ever seen. He makes Paul Scholes look like Guardiola in terms of tackling. Slow, can't tackle, and infuriating tendency to slip in...

Right now Chelski, Milan, Liverpool, ManUre, Lyon and possibly Roma are in the market for strikers with money to spend. The ones who seem to be available on the market are Huntelaar, Trez, Klose, Ronaldo. It seems to be there are more buyers and sellers at this stage, and I think there is a good...

:D Well I didnt mean to insult in Camo anyway by budding him to be tactical. I actually see that as one of his strenght. Not many wingers in a modern day are willing to sacrifice in order to provide cover for their teammate. I think Robben is a typical case. Whilst Robben could be...

Surprise, surprise.:D To be honest I have never been a big fan of Camo, but he seems to have upped his game during Capello's reign.:shocked:. But there are two reason why I would prefer to see Mancini than Camo. Firstly, and the main reason is financial. I am not just sold on Barzagli...

At a current rate we have 35m Euro to spend on the transfer market (if those worthless press coverage is something to believed with). As long as we dont spend bulk of that money on Barzagli (Who has been quoted at a price of 20m), there is no reason why we can't spend so much on an attacking...

Oh I'll take Mancini over Di Natale, and Camo, anyday of the week. He is a master class player. Inter seems to be favorite though, but Secco should definitely give it a go, since we got two players on free anyway.:pint: As much as this surprise me, but could we see a beginning of Brazilian...

:agree: I know Dominic won't like it, but I ll take Inter's offer of Samuel + 5m Euro deal for Camo. We can use that money plus a co-ownership deal on one of our youngsters (Palladino) to get Di Natale to replace Camo. Then we will have extra 20m Euro to spend on Robinho. If nothing comes of...

Faty, Grygera are solid pick-ups. Yes even a 10 year old would know they are worth their money (since they dont cost a damn), but to my surprise Secco, didnt f*ck it up. Faty has a good track record, and you dont often get the chance to buy a captain of French U-21 side for nothing. Secco...

Personally I don't pay too much attention on whose starting or not. It all depends on the kind of form the player is in. One way or the other, I see Van der Vaart being a very valuable member to this team: but I don't see why he can't start over Neddy as #10 suggests, or even Del Piero for that...

Metzelder, Saviola, Grygera free trio - WOW. That would be awesome list. Who needs Klose, Samuel, Barzagli et al - for 15m Euro + Camo? Get those three on a free deals, and let go Tudor, Gianni, Zalayeta, Zebina, Bojinov, that would free up somewhere between 6-7m Euros in terms of...

Its Metzelder. I have seen a few matches of him over the years, and Metzelder is someone who makes Camo look remarkably consistent. He has all the physical tools IMO, but remains to be seen mentally. But for free, he is one hell of bargain. I say snap him up ASAP, its no brainer. Nonetheless...

:rofl2: I disagree with you on Barza, but I have always liked your harsh sense of humor. Gresko,:howler: - Hakan Sukur used to call him class player - I guess it takes one to know one.;)

I guess you are speaking with sarcasm with that Sheffield forward leaving Toure without a trace on Sat.:D But yeah I absolutely love Arsenal Center back pairing. It's pity William Gallas have been injury plagued this year. He is by far the most under-appreciated defender in the world - He is...

Cygan is slower than Del Piero - that says something. I love to see what a kid Cristico can do. Mark 77 had a good scouting report on him, and personally there is nothing I like more than pacey center backs. These days attackers are quicker than in the past so I feel we should a lot of...

I find Senderos vastly overrated - clumsy, slow - a trait I saw in Daniele Bonera. If you were talking about Kolo Toure then I will change my mind. But I am almost certain that better young defenders than Senderos will emerge overtime and there is no reason to commit to what I consider as just...

Palermo centeral midfielders apart from Simplicio tackles like a 5 year old girl. There are good technicians around but the team in general but lack that steel and structure in midfield. It is not just about defenders - they play in a philosophy that emphasizes attack, short passes, dummy runs...

Good point. I am delighted by the possibility but we should wait until the deal become official. We are tallking about Zamparini, here. He is just about most volatile, egomaniac that exists - you cant predicut futures about him. As for Gonalzo - that deal must come down as one of those...

I agree. I find it quite surprising in that they signed quite a lot of defenders this year and got rid of some of their unsure elements such as Biava. Having said that, who would have expected such an attacking, enjoyable team from Francesco Guidolin of all people!:smoke:
