I didn't say I'd like to see Cicinho,I just compared him to Roma's second choice.
If you ask me I'd look for Bosingwa or Sagna...or even Ivanović.

Ballack is getting too old and I don't like his wage demands. Van Bommel is overrated and old as well, plus wouldn't help our midfield much. Panucci, Knezevic, Kroldrup, Stovini, Mantovani, Donadel... if people want those guys I think we should open up a psychiatric ward on the forums.
I chose Bastian, Friedrich, Busquets and Fred for various reasons. Basti would be a good option off the bench, Friedrich is a pretty solid RB from what I've seen, Busquets is young and hasn't been too bad for Barca, and Fred isn't a bad player either. Perhaps I'd refrain from the latter because we have enough strikers, but what the hell.

Only Kroldrup and Criscito get a Yes from me and even they were close to getting a No.
Of course, for some players, like Schweinsteiger, Ballack or van Bommel i'd have voted Yes if we were going to get them for reasonable wages, but i'm sure that at least +3m on wages will be needed to get them and i don't think they deserve it, even Ballack.
Ballack and Van Bommel don't have 4 years in their legs and they'll ask for a 4 year contract. After a year or two they'll end up doing nothing and still earn huge money, which will hurt our transfer market.
Schweiny will most probably earn more than 3m eur per season and imo that's too much.

fuck Bastian, im more than sure that he will flop if he comes to Juve. Serie A aint Bundesliga and if he keeps underperforming in Germany i cant see how he will do smth in Italy, where there will be much less space and time for his best quality - long shots (even without him we have some good long shot takers as Ale, Nedved, Grygera and others, but we really use their shots rare).
We must be really careful with the wages we offer to these freebees, especially if they're +30 years olds.
If we offer, as speculated, 3m eur for someone like Olic, then, in case he won't perform well, we won't be able to sell him and he won't like to leave because no-one else will offer him the same wages, or even close to it. These players, +30 years olds, would prefer sitting on the bench in these late stages of their career, and secure their families with the huge wages they're getting, than go somewhere else where they could play but where they will earn three times less.
