Trezeguet, Iaquinta, Huntelaar, Del Piero, Palladino

This could be our attack department next year. Not bad I'd say, but do we want Palla as a fifth striker? Unless Ranieri wants him as a winger (maybe in a 433) it'll be hard to keep him happy.
Palladino certainly wouldn't be happy to be the fifth choice striker,even if his heart is black&white. I mean he just got his first call-up for Italy and he want to continue this path I guess. Sooner or later he got to be a starter for Juve,but unfortunately I don't see it coming in the near future. To be honest I have nothing against useing him permanently as a left winger, he convinced me in that position and his chances to play there are bigger than as a striker in my opinion. Against Empoli he played as a striker and he wasn't as impressive as in his last games as a winger,he simply got the skills to be a decent winger IMO.If he really stays a winger,we should buy Huntelaar.If that is not the case,either Palladino will be sold or Huntelaar will join another team.

We need another attacker, only if choose to play the trident in a more permanent basis, our current squad has too many wingers for that, since we bought Iaquinta the chances of getting the Hunter have been dramatically dropped...

We don't need him, end of story. No matter how young or good he is. WE DON'T NEED HIM. Not this season and not the next. Trez has at least 2 good seasons in him and we must exploit that. Iaquinta can only get better. What's the use of Huntelaar? Him and Trez can't co-exist and neither will accept a rotational role.
exactly, and it will harm the progress of palladino and even giovinco.

Adding huntelaar won't fix the fundemental problem at the club right now. This problem is obviously creativeness coming out of midfield.

If a 4-3-3 was deployed, Camoranesi would have to be on the right flank, as we would need a better two way player next to the other two midfielders. Those being Nocerino and CZ. So that would still leave the left flank for one of the Iaquinta, Del Piero or Palladino. If Giovinco returns, where does he play?

I'm all for having Huntelaar in the squad, but I think some sacrifices would be required. Nedved retiring (most likely anyway), Del Piero being a bench player, Palladino possibly being a winger taking over Nedved...Giovinco being a playmaker and Trezeguet and Huntelaar sharing that striker position.

Another aspect to it all is if we do make the CL next season, then we do need rotation and we could fit both Trez and Huntelaar in the squad.


--------------Nocerino----CZ--------

Camo----------------------------Giovinco/Palladino

----------Trez/Hunter--------Iaquinta/Gio/Palla

Huntellar would be a great signing...but we need to also look for 2 CBs and an AMF...
Since Chiellini started playing as a CB and Legrottalie started playing better (I really hope he can maintain his level) and once Andrade is healthy we will be covered but it would be good to bring in somone else Ivanovic preferably (can play as a RB and be moved to CB when needed). My priorities are getting a LB(Molinaro ins't good enough), RB (everyone seems to like and dislike either Zebina and Grygera), LM(replacement for Nedved), AM(creativity)
