Overall a fantastic Mercato, if the Grosso deal goes through, 2 million is a steal in my opinion. I would of liked Rafinha however there is January for that. Props to the board, 2 attacking players and 3 defenders this Mercato, Cronio must be pleased.

I sense that Lippi is behind this? 3/4 of his defense are playing together day in and day out. He must be very happy now.

I am sure Lippi is happy, but I don't think he had anything to do with the fact that Molinaro is horrible. That is why we are in the market for a LB, not because of Lippi influencing. Man I really hope we get Criscito back (and Ariaudo) next year.

I noticed that too.

I also noticed that Aly Cissokho failed a Milan medical because of his teeth. (You think he would have gone to the EPL with that kind of verdict.)

Grosso is actually an excellent player. Always plays well for Italy and lets be honest, without him Italy would NEVER have won the world cup. He can run with the ball, cross it well and is a decent enough defender. OMG if we signed him we would be more complete than we have ever been in the last 4 years. Nobody here should turn up their nose at this signing. Also, 3 of the 4 Italian NT defenders. Think of the synergy and ease of communication. Grosso needs a platfrom to play well, Juve would do it for him, I have a feeling this is destiny.

I really want him to sign.

Giovinco, easily. Santon is a fullback, those are easier to find. A Giovinco type of player is harder to find.
I think is the other way around man. How often do you find a Maldini in your ranks?. To bad he is inter though but hopefully not for long.:evil:

what about maradona?
what about pele.

don't talk shit for God's sake... like there will never be a player like maldini.... I player like maldini will never make a difference in a team as maradona did. Or other strikers!

I think you're overrating Grosso a bit.
Nah you are really underrating him. Im not saying hes the world's best but he is damn well adequate for us right now. If he comes i can virtually guarentee he will become a fan favourite. Look at Cannavaro. Played for Inter...he was no good. Real.....not much better. But for Italy and Juve he performs well. Grosso was great at Palermo and utterly FUNDAMENTAL to italy becoming World Champions. He shone brightest on a stage that had all the world's best players. He didn't settle at Lyon and Inter? Many Italian players have that problem. At Juve he will find peace, find his form and people will see the Grosso that two years ago stole the show from everyone.

:lol: come on dude, i wasn't talking shit it's just honesty. and please all the greatest defenders like Scirea, Maldini, Baresi, cannavaro, Beckenbauer, are probably the most important underrated players, they aren't legends for no reason. Without a stable defense Maradona or pele wouldn't be what they are now. Defense. is number one in a team my friend. So back to the main point. in pure honesty i will rather have Santon than giovinco.

Like I said earlier, we're gonna like him when he goes forward and puts those crosses in but curse at him when he doesn't track back at times and is slow.
