Our main weakness was that we conceded a shitload of goals, due to the mediocre defense & sloppy midfield.
true, esp df.
But we insist with italians and cheap quick fixes...
But we also created far too many chances we couldnt finalize, because of the lack of a decent and available finisher.
In the past years we have been heavily investing on midfielders that can help our crappy defense (Sissoko,Melo) and amfs that can help our goal scoring issues (diego, candevra, pepe, martinez) instead of steadily, slowly, but surely adressing those matters directly and completely!
i am with Nicholas in this, our main weakness last season was that we don't create any chances for the CF. forcing Amauri or Iaquinta to move on the wings to get the long balls which they loose easily. with Krasic we will strength the creativity which will increase the chances for CF to shine.
They were drifting because they can, those guys, unlike Treze, simply cannot play in the cf efficiently and constantly.
They have other abilities though.
It was a huge mistake to buy Amauri for his finishing, as it is his weakness. As for iaq, he is rather known for his fighting spirit.
Our only real CF is Treze. We need to do smth about it!
Would you be happy if we bought Gilardino? he's a CF and can score plenty of goals. Also he would not be overpriced like Dzeko.
Gila?
Hell no! And i doubt we will get him from there cheeply. I would prefer to buy someone from abroad.
But we can buy both krasic and gila(15-17) for dzeko's price, then i would!
