We're covered on that position. Seeing Giach's displays for Italy recently he and Asa will be fighting for LWB spot. No need to bring anyone there.

Marrone needs more playing time (hence loan to a smaller club), Padoin in average (and if we could land DDR, he and Isla would need to pack their bags) and in any case we need more depth in defence, and I'm not talking Peluso's here. DDR would be a great addition to our team no matter which way you spin it. He could aptly fill in for any of Vidal, Pirlo or Marchisio in CM, and just as easily slot in to any of the positions in the back three. Plus his grinta is suitable to that of a Juve player, with us he has a very realistic chance of winning some pretty major silverware.

Brushing off DDR like some two-bit mid table hack is almost offensive towards the great player he is. Where we to nab him we'd posses 4 players of the 2006 World Cup winning squad, I'd say that isn't bad, since he hasn't even hit 30 yet. It would be no different to Tevez in an age sense, his value isn't quite what it once was but can still offer many years of quality, high level football and being able to play in a number of versatile positions.
Brushing him off as a two-bit mid table hack? You've got a lively imagination, yeah? Who said anything about that? Also, why would we want to collect players from the 2006 WC winning squad, when we're headed for 2013-2014?

Bud, Padoin and Isla don't typically play the role/position that DDR does. He is a very, very good player, but we have both Pogba, and Asabob who should be getting games in central midfield. Both are box to box, we don't need to add DDR for 20M+ or whatever, plus huge wages (For Serie A). It just doesn't make sense, it would be excessive, and stunt the growth of some young, quality players who the club invested in last year, guys who have earned playing time, and are much more affordable.

If we want to upgrade the midfield, the way to do it would be to add a true LWB. Thing is, I really appreciate Asamoah as a player, and for now the only way he's going to get any time right now is at LWB; I don't really see a purchase of a Kolarov, etc., I think Beppe/Conte will spend the money elsewhere. We'll see.

But Giac is lacking defensively, isn't he?
Haven't seen him getting caught last night . Have you? I think Conte will play him more frequently there next year.
If Prandelli can play him for Italy there whose midfield offers far less protection to defenders I can't see why Conte would leave him on the sidelines.

Every time I log into the player section of the forum and see Carlos Tevez I think I'm playing football manager.

:touched:

Who would you have wanted us to sign, Djanik?
We need to offload players, that's the first thing that we should do - isla, marrone, de ceglie, matri, quagliarella, plus we have too many defenders and if rumour about ogbonna's arrival is true than I don't know what the Fuck conte is thinking about - peluso, asamoah, caceres, lichtsteiner, chiellini, barzagli, bonucci, we are full with defenders , what the point to sign 4th choice center back for 10m plus 50% rights on immobile

Conte rotated strikers because none of them could ever string together good matches consistently.

Tevez is 50x better than any striker we had this past season.
Lol even when quag had hot form he was benched anyway, he even never played 5 games in a row

I agree, we do need to sell a few players and it is one of the only legitimate criticism people may have of Marotta (his inability to sell), but when the opportunity arises to sign a world class player like Tevez, you need to take it.

Yeah, it's not like Juve field five defenders in every other game or something.

No idea why they have so many.
