i see us shipping out the relative high profile backups we have right now like pazienza as first part of the transfer strategy of next summer.
right now there is no sense in weakening our bench (pazienza to padoin for example), but if it is with the view of the next summer mercato things could pan out good. if we kept pazienza and added another probable starter cm in summer i think pazienza would be to good to be fourth or fifth choice. so if we buy a starter, the former starter can be backup and there is no need to have another backup to the backup which is quality (and also draining our wage funds).
so it would make sense to get a very low profile player like padoin for a position we are investing in the summer in.
lets take pepes position as example. we buy a cheap player for the wing instead of an expensive one. so by summer we will by a class winger that will push pepe to the bench. this way we have a starter and a bench player of decent quality and a very cheap 3rd backup opposed to a pazienza-level 3rd backup that is only costing us valuable money without adding anything.
