Buffon has some slight injury problems, we will compete in 3 competitions and might become unavailable for a number of critical games.
And dont forget that he will have to guard NTs posts instead of resting as he should, so that he might start the season a little later!
More than any other time, we need a decent back up keeper and we can now tempt someone, offering a better contract, the chance to participate in a competitive team.
The assurance that he will start at 10-15 games (cup games, a couple of un-important games in front of a CL week and the occasional times Buffon will face some problems and choose to rest! )
The only problem would be that we will only need him for a year or so, so an older keeper might choose this as the epilogue of his carrier.
Amelia would be too expensive and at this period of time, he wouldnt negociate a sub role...
Mirante on the other hand, had a bad year and a few impressive games with us, would boost his morale and maybe the interest on him too:xfinger:
