I just dotn agree on that. What would one star player have achieved this season? I mean we have been forced to use our entire range of CMs. I dont think any juventini expected Tiago to have been used as much as he has. I really think they took the best approach by aquiring a wide, competive squad. Imagin how bad it would have been with just 3 squad players less. I mean just look a bringing in Manninger, I think were all happy about that.
I am not saying that we should not improve the defense and our wingers, we all agree on that. I think youre forgetting the realities that we faced last summer.
1) With the CL we had play a lot more games. Not having enough depth could kill you, even though your first eleven may be a little stronger.
2) Who should they have bought ? The market was extremely difficult. I dont think VDV was possible, since he preferred RM. Alonso - yea but that would not have made a great difference.
We got promoted, came 3rd and are now 2nd by a margin and did well in the CL, I think we have got reason to be satisfied and optimistic on behalf of our board.
This year it seems that the possibilites are a little better, Valencia in trouble and Ribery and Bayern seem open to Negotiations. Diego certainly wants to join one the TOP TOP teams this year. Tottenham is not really competing, and maybe opening for Modric. However if Silva stays in spain with mama, and Man C and Chelsea let the billions roll, we might just not be able to get what we really want. I say lets stay optimistic and see what happens.
I've heard that Ribery has startet to learn italien
