Terrible news that he'll sign for Bayern. This means no "bomber" for us this mercato. We have no chance whatsoever on Higuain, Cavani and RVP. We better sign a proper SS instead now, like Jovetic, and wait for the bomber until next summer.

I am not so sure that lacking a true "bomber" hurt us all that terribly in the end. We didn't give defenders a sure target to lock down, and our ball distribution was great to enable anyone to score short of Barzagli in open play.

I get the sense there's some Moneyball-like truisms about how much a star striker really buys you for the expense.

We need a bomber with a proper SS next to him. I'm tired of seeing our defenders and midfield bail out our misfiring offense.

Way too many missed chances last season for my liking. We have CL to worry about, not to mention Italian teams will also be getting stronger.

Matri is not the player to beat teams like barca or city or bayern.

    At this point, I think Dzeko is our last chance of getting a good striker. Van Persie, Cavani, Higauin and Suarez won't happen.
