No, I'd bet against that, because Ranieri is going to want to use his first team as soon as he can, so he gets an idea of how well they gel. Cannavaro or Barzagli would be integrals in the starting squad, so they're going to have to be signed a lot sooner, without leaving room for any August antics. If only we happen to get Canna back and had we Mutu instead of Iaquinta, I'd say this squad would have been a scudetto contender, on paper at least.
