Quality CB and a quality DM is needed. My choice would be Sissoko and Samuel, but the money for them isn´t available. Nocerino will maybe work, but another CB is a neccessity. Good thing that the market is still open.

I would love Samuel, no doubt about it.
But another DM or CM is not gonna happen, Tiago and Almiron are gonna be the midfield duo and I believe in them. We still have Zanetti who can offer that little defensive assurance when needed. Nocerino is young and I hope he gets his fair share of playing time next season but only in the mind of loonykart will he be a starter next season, while Tiago is on the bench.

Yes ineffective because we don't have a quality cb to partner Andrade , whats the point of playing beautiful football and scoring goals when we are just going to concede easy goals anyway . thats what i meant when i said " we're ineffective"
As for the midfield , yes , i think our midfield can really do great things . i have never seen juve hold possesion so nicely in a long time .
I think the reason we didnt score goals is the trezeguet/iaquinta partnership . Both these players are goal-scorers and none can play the support striker role who can feed the goal-scorer the balls . Del piero/trezeguet or palladino /trezeguet would work much better .

That's true but defenses take most time to gel, let's not start to panic just yet.
Iaquinta was played out of position and was very bad, he was also a little cheap in the first 20 minutes, trying to shoot instead of passing to a better positioned player. Trez was played as a lone striker and I didn't like that, too little balls went his way and he was invisible throughout the game. Most of our attack were coming from the flanks with too little crosses coming towards Trez. I'd prefer DP-Trez of course, maybe against Hamburg if the former gets fit.

I have seen both Tiago and Almiron play on numerous occasions. Setanta shows a ton of Lyon games and I watch Serie A religiously. I clarified my point in the previous post... Tiago and Almiron are both average defenders at best and in front of an average defense it is not going to work. We need a destroyer out there. I am hardly a football novice, but if that is how you need to justify your point go ahead.
Your second paragraph displays how truly young and ignorant you are. I am definately not a telemarketer and although I make more that 35k I would never scoff at someone who did. Don't try to act like you sit on your deck and go on your lap top with a "Corona". That is a poor attempt at trying to sound cool. We all know you are a computer geek who spends college talking on a forum. Enjoy your youth, learn something, and chill out a bit. Enjoy that sweet Corona to. Winner.

Hey guys, be patient we have a new squad and it will take time to get them to blend together. Don't judge anyone on a friendly against a team that has to start way sooner. We have work to do but we have time to do so. Besides we played well and created a lot, only failed to score cuz their goalie was really good.
The way we played was much more important then the result.

Oh please. Carroll put in a harsh tackle there as well. Had Buffon gone for the ball, he would have come out injured. I'm not saying it wasn't a foul, it obviously was, but you can't compare this to the Schumacher case at all. It was a very sensible decision of Buffon not to for the ball here.
Besides, I was under the impression the English like to call the Italians crybabies. If you talk the talk, you have to walk the walk.

he didnt have the best of seasons last season, but you cant judge him on that alone. When this guy is on form, he really excels. He proved that at PSG and also in his 1st season at Man Utd. He needs to regain his confidence, and by leaving Man Utd im sure he will go back to the Heinze he used to be.
