Anyone daring to say that we're even weaker than last year?
No chance.
Agreed, this transfer is strange, mainly because our midfield was looking staggeringly wonderful just yesterday. But also, due to the moderate fee.
I assume that we are to sign someone BIG. Its not just ALL the juventini the world over who will see swapping Diego for Natali, as fucked up and a massively obvious step backwards, its the management also...My faith in Marotta, Del Neri and Andrea Agnelli, remains, for now, intact. But that is hinging now, hugely upon a major signing appearing before the end of this transfer window.
Diego is NOT a support striker. Neither is he suited to a 4-4-1-1. though I am sure he could have done wickedly in that role, especually with krasic nearby...still. I assume we are to sign a replacement for trezeguet, a target man, and also, spend large on the support striker position.
the skies were so blue, and now they seem so dark, but I have retained hope...
