Our defence,as you said,will probably be able to sustain us for another year.Our attack on the other hand is set for the next half a decade at least.Zlatan is 23,Mutu and Trezeguet are 26/27,their best days are ahead of them.We sorely need a replacement for Nedved and a partner for Emerson,because these are departments we will be lacking in next season,if this season is anything to go by.Gilardino is a good forward,no doubt,but I'm willing to risk Mutu for a year.He is arguably more talented than Gilardino,it's just a question of form.No matter what formation we play,the fact is alot of our players in the defence and Neddy are getting old and we should seek to get replacements for them sooner instead of later.
I C, u put ur hopes on Mutu and Trezequet,
sorry but i dont!
i seriusly doubt that mutu is more talented than Gilardino or he could ever gain his forn
and he isn t what we need most, a pure striker,
i believe the best way to use mutu is in the trident with zlatan and mutu to create and treze or Gila to finish, i would like to see that but i dont think Cap will do that,he is too old to change mind.
So the big problem and the even bigger question is what are we gonna do with Trezequet.
I personally dont dare to put our hopes to trezequet, again,
as he dissapointed me the last years.
I believe his time has come to leave,
he didnt left last year because the bids werent the right and he had a second chance he blowed again,
since he is the only real finisher we have, i believe that it would be a mistake to waste another year waiting for him to find his form back and make him another Del Piero.
If we keep him now and he fail again then we sure wont be able to sell him since noone wont take a finished player and we will stuck with him the next 3-4years,
instead a Zlatan-Gila twin would do miracles.
About the midfield, Gianni can take Appiahs place Edu or Mozart help a lot
and a free Ze roberto type to replace Nedved, u can always can find solution for the midfield but we can hardly find opportunities like Gila.
Its a good thing to think of the future,
but u have to secure the present first,
we have an attack problem,
its unwise to let it be and buy defenders for the future,
dont fix it, if it isnt broken, we have the tools,the replacement pieces(kovac,chiellini,barzagli or bonera)
we just need power upfront,
there is were the problem is, and its needed to be fixed, NOW.
We are a defencive team with a def coach,
we dont have the alternative to play attacking football with OMs,
our attackers sould be very eficient, on form, active and reliable
esp the finisher.
