the thing is though that tudor is seen than more than a defender to lippi. he is seen as an option for DM.
Tudor is injury prone but i cant see him continue to be as often injured as in recent years. in form, he is great, but at the same time, this rarely happens.
Ferrara, Montero and Iuliano will all be gone next season. Ciro will retire, Montero and Iuliano should look elsewhere to end their careers as they are more liabilities than assets.
With this in mind, it leaves us Legrottaglie and Tudor. Two injury prone players at the moment. Bringing in players such as Mexes and Ferrari to me is vital. why??
1. Tudor cant be relied upon to be a first team regular, as it stands now.
2. We will need at least 4 good CBs in our squad for rotation, injuries and suspensions.
3. We need a player to replace Montero, and Mexes, tudor and Legrottaglie are not that type of player, hence, Ferrari to me is the best player for that job.
4. And, i think losing 3 CBs in one season is enough change already. Therefore, Tudor should be kept.
in regards to buying a player like Oddo, it might be a good idea as Thuram could play in the middle, and we would not need that second purchase in a defender. he could play Montero's role. Hence, only Mexes brought in.
