I would prefer Lugano, but Alex would also be a great signing, that could change my view on this horrible mercato completely.
Although i still believe that the LW is a priority atm and we should focus our full attention and cash to secure the best we can.
If any cash and times remains, it should be spend on a CB, an 8th forward would be extremely unwise now...

in what way is this mercato horrible? we have strengthened the full back areas,we have strengthened the midfield,we have brought in a very good forward,all we need now is possibly a centre back and LM which marotta is working on.

so please,tell me how this is a horrible market? or are you so busy lamenting every "lost opportunity" that the media claims?

:disagree: actually a CB should be a periority over any other position right now. We can survive this season with a left winger like Pasquato who actually looked pretty good in the preseason games. Both Barzagli and Bonucci are crappy defenders who can cost us many many points this season if we kept faith in them.

No matter how great our attackers and wingers are if we're gonna conceede 2-3 goals almost every game because of mistakes from those two we will end up in a pretty poor position in the table. If we have a poor defence the whole team will be shaky and players will lose faith pretty quick in the team.

If our team is solid in the back then mentaly the whole team will be stronger IMO. My only concern with Alex is his injuries, i just hope he won't be injured most of the season (ala andrade) and we'd be forced to play the rest of the season with the likes of bonucci and Barzagli.

in all honesty,yes i think Alez is a beast but i am not sure he is the type of CB we need. we already have a strong,tough tackler in Chiellini so it would be better weighted if we had a CB that reads the game well to complement him. if you end up with 2 tacklers in there a forward with good positional awareness will find space to punish them

Alex might just be using us to increase his contract in which case the deal will fail. Lugano would be for certain if they want him right? Just pay the 3.5m buyout and up his wages.
Marotta must have a deathwish if he doesn't get another CB.

I think Alex has the ability to play the ball, despite his appearance.

Rajkovic

Chelsea seem to be waiting a work permit for this lad who's supposed to be very good.

Terry, Ivanovic, Luiz and Rajkovic I think will be their CB's.

That's true :D

However when Marotta has the will of the player we usually get him for a good price.

Krasic they wanted 18, he wanted to come, we got him for 15.

Vidal they wanted 15, he wanted to come, we got him for 10.

Vucinic they wanted 20, he wanted to come, we got him for 15.

Lichtsteiner they wanted 12, he wanted to come, we got him for 10.

Just a few.
