In a week or so, (the announced date was 7-8july) the bulk of our team will be available to Ferrara. Our board and him said that by then the majority of our transfers targets will be decided and sealed and Ferrara will start preparing the new team for the coming season!
He needs that time to create from scratch, the new team and formation,
for optimal use of our material.
The confederation cup is over and the co own and loan deals are settled.
Our board has announced that we have already spent our transfer budget
and we will make just one more transfer, only if we sell first and create some funds to support it!
They have also announced that our priority is too sign one more CM
and if Molinaro is not fit to start, we will consider an urgent acquisition of a new LB. So, if there are any more acquisitions left, thats Dago or Grosso.
They will join later on, but they are experienced enough to fit in immediately. They are both Italians and "champions"...
Judging but what we have seen from our board all those years,
the previous behavior and current comments and planning,
it is no safe to draw some conclusions;
Keeper:
-Buffon wont be sold this year, he has decided to wait and see what can we do with Diego
-Manningher will be his back up, in case his back issues return...
(it was one of the wisest acquisitions this board has ever made)
We have Buffon's successor already in our hands and we wont miss the chance to sell him, when Buffon finally realizes that we wont win any titles, before his retirement!
RB:
-Zebina will be our starter on theory, he was pretty impressive in that one match, he had the chance to play. But it is certainly not going to last long, as we all know, how injury prone he is.
-Grygera will be our starter practically, following the coming Zebina injury.
We now have no other options left, as we have offloaded Mellberg, who was a viable solution and would help us in some derbies...
Our management trust Grygera and consider him, an invaluable asset of our five year plan, the were NEVER, no plans to replace him and as Zebi is growing older and even more injury prone. Grygera's place in our future backbone is solidified!!
CB:
-Chiellini will be our main starter and also the main component of our future defense. The greatest asset of our defense and he will be asked to make the difference in this season and the years to come, by himself.
Just like he did in the past years.
Hopefully, he will not repeat the silly performances, he did with our NT
-Cannavaro, is the replacement of Mellberg, it is a transfer clearly made to win some impressions. Canna is not a real upgrade to Legro or Mellberg at this age
and as he is older than Mellberg, he will even last less than him.
However, his prestige and experience alone and probably the fact that he has the respect of our... "coach", grants him the the right to be the first choice after, Chiellini.
-Legro, his age will soon start showing, he will do his best to grab away Canna's place from our starting eleven, in order to replace him in the NT too.
When Canna's speed and stamina, will start failing him, Legro will be there to take advantage of it!! That would help us to keep some short of high standards
and we might as well benefit of the competition between them!
However in a couple of seasons, we will have to replace the both of them and our defense's expire date, is already determined!!
-Ariaudo, despite what the fans are thinking/wishing, our board has declared that he was only kept, for educational reasons. He was destined to be loaned and we def are not considering him for a real option in our squad.
But since we have Ferrara and Canna, the lad can stay a lot from them,
maybe even more, rather than playing week in, week out, in a third team, until his loan expires!
It remains to be seen, if this will accelerate his growth as a player or stall it.
But his presence probably means, that we are not looking for a new Stendardo/Knezevic
LB:
-Molinaro is going to be our starter and it seems that he has convinced our management, that he and Grygera, are the very definition, of the Juve we aspire to become!!
(For v1rtu4l) "Just like i have been saying for the past three years!!"
They have been our starters for two consecutive years and they will be our starters for a third consecutive year. And form the backbone of our defense in the future Juve 2 and a half, star Juve...
Our new formation will demand a far better involvement from them and a more effective support of our midfield. He will have to use his full offensive capabilities,
in order to give us some winght in the midfield. Our three man defense, demands that, otherwise the opposition wingers will easily overrun us.
To present a multi-dimensional front, we have to threaten the opposition from all fronts.
In case they decide to man mark Diego and crowd the center of the midfield.
Their arithmetic superiority, could suffocate us and deny us the option of a front attack. This is were Molinaro's penetrative manuvrues and accurate crossing will come in and make the difference!!
The opposition will be forced to defend wide, in order to stop him and Grygera and they will let more space to Diego and our two CMs to work their magic!
Even if Molinaro is not quite capable for his offensive efficiency.
We must not forget that he is always trying hard to improve himself and under the guidance of a brilliant tactician and defender (Ferrara), he will learn to become as effective as Zabro used to be!! After all he is Italian and was also voted as one of the best fullbacks in serie A, well at least for a month or so...
-De Ceglie, we will keep him now, because his injury will not allow us to find an appropriate destination-team to co own him.
The fans and CR has decided that he is far too fragile to be given a chance,
almost as fragile as the useless Criscito. Another player we had a hard time of offloading and we had to help Genoa sign him, ensuring that they would have at least 3 years to gather the necessary sum to get him.
In the mean time, he will be playing for them and to further convince them keeping him, we have already thrown away 3 more youngsters to them!
Hopefully they by the x-mas DC will be fit too and maybe that silly Ferrara, who seems to like him give him a couple of chances to prove his worth.
In order to raise some interest and find a club interest to pay a couple of millions to co-own him. We wont have to worry about the rest of the season, Molinaro will be always there and by the time, he will be a world class fullback.
Probably the best fullback in serie A, esp if Inter sell their current ones to EPL teams.
Defense has been our weakest point, for the past 3 seasons
and it might now looks like that we degrade it, just a little bit more.
But we can still make the difference and hope that our many quality forwards, with the help of Diego, will manage to score at least, just one more goal, than the opposition cheaper forwards!!
To ensure that, rumors have it that we are also interested on Pandev.
With him on our ranks, we dont have to worry about defensive lapses,
we will certainly score one more goal than the opposition!!
If our games end up 2-3, 3-3, 2-2 it will be at least a great boost for the spectacle and serie A need it!! We need to make the ultimate sacrifices to boost the popularity and the spectacle of the league.
If it werent for them, we would never be in Serie B and lived through all those magnificent experiences.
We must return the favor and give home to the washed up NT starters
and sacrifice efficiency for spectacle on the field!
We cant beat the champions of Inter, under the guidance of the special Jose, anyway.
Roma has some serious existence problems and Milan has already declared that their target is to rank third!!
