Well, the Dutch have a way of getting youngsters with good potential looking for a chance to make it - and most of them realise that once they can make it in the Dutch league, there's a big chance that they'll be sold to a bigger league.
But when they come to Italy they are either played out of position or played in systems that they are not suited to , i mean Davids was wasted at Milan, and even at Juve i feel he should be given the chance to boss our midfield instead of the relatively smaller role of left sided midfielder with Tacchi as the general when he is playing

Now those are good line-ups! Good to know I'm not virtually the only one who would place Nedved on the left wing and DP behind the strikers!
The team's good but we all know Lippi's a big fan of Pessotto and Zambrotta so expect them to start. He's also very unpredictable in his selections at times.
I'm almost certain he'l hav a similar line-up and should Tudor be fit he'l be on the bench replacing the last place. Also I think if Pessotto aint fit then Moretti will get the nod. Due to form I think Salas will start on the bench allowing Divaio his debut in bianconeri team.
I'd also like to see Thuram futuring at centre back at times this season so he could prove his worth there...
1. Camoranesi starts because Zamby is injured.
2. Davids will always start over Baiocco, unless he is injured.
3. Thuram played some center back last year, and was unimpressive. He is a damn good full back, and there is no reason to move him from that position.
With the possible departure of Davids don't think so anyways Lippi does not rely much on Dabids anymore, last season for example I's very excited when he came back from his suspension but even later he started a number of games on the bench.
If Zambrotta is injured then maybe Camoneresi but Lippi will probably have only 2 new players in the starting line-up for that game so let's say Di Vaio if fit then either Camoneresi/Baiocco/Moretti.

No, we need a right flank player, and Camoranesi was bought to replace Zamby, he will play. As for Baiocco, he is not nearly as good as Davids, and whether we are relying on Davids or not, he will play over Baiocco.
