Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (9 Viewers)

[Hust]

This. Napoli will crash and burn next season. They simply dont have the depth to compete in Serie A and the UCL. I expect a 8-10th place finish for them

I don't think they will drop that far down but competing in Serie A, CL, and Coppa won't be easy for them. Their defense won't withstand it and I don't see them bringing in any "champions" and the same for Udinese if they are selling theirs this summer. IMO, if we strengthen our team with just a couple of great players with whom we have already signed then our only nemesis for CL next year would be Roma...I don't think we will have what it takes to beat Milan or Inter but 3rd shouldn't be that tough. We won't be tired for multiple competitions we will just be able to focus on the league.

Add to that Cavani...if he cools down then they are screwed. If he gets injured they are screwed. He is the only reason why they did as well as they did this year IMO.

Fine. However, with that squad we still won't finish 3'rd. We need an amazing LW, and a WC ss if we seriously intend to return to being competitive.

The Pazienzas of this world are not the way forward.

I thought this was going to be made official day before yesterday?

 

[Hust]

I hope not.

 

[Bianconero81]

Why not? Things can't get worse than Pazienza now, can they?

 

[Ahmed]

you're talking as if he is some sort of a leper.

 

[Hust]

Pazienza is just a backup...cheap way to get depth. The kind of player that comes in for a starting mid once we have the game won because we need the starter fresh for the next game.

 

[Bianconero81]

Waste of space and money. We might as well have used Marrone or some other youngster. It's not as if we are set and have an awesome/amazing team that we are strengthening out bench now!

I mean Bastos............

If only we can have all our games one.

I hate you.

Patience. My post was directed @ Hus. As for Bastos, he is by no means a leper.

If you are in front, and wanting to finish the game, you need a player with a bit expirience that knows how to handle it

a youngster cant handle it, unless your team is kickass

pazienza, at least got some expirience, and is like extremely cheap


getting these players for free that add dept, is something moggi did to, no reason to complain, more money to spend on starters

Agreed, Pazienza is a cheap back up with experience in Serie A. Something we will need. Obviously Bastos is no Di Maria, Nani etc. but given the fact we only have Serie A to worry about I think Bastos will be plenty good to play against Milan, Inter, Roma. Krasic so no WC winger either but given the opportunity you all saw he can be effective so with that threat of Bastos on the other side I think they will complement eachother very well. with Pirlo, Melo/ Aquilani or Inler in the middle they have more then capable players to give them those balls they need down the wings. Some people think our full backs should be out main target but if Beck does sign again I think beck and Ziegler are more then capable to handle the best of what Serie A have at them moment. So as Bianconero81 stated, I think we should spend most (not all) of our transfer fund on a WC SS. Yes it sucks we arnt in champions but I think it gives us the opportunity to hopefully get Conte alot of good and successful experience without the Pressures of CL and hopefully build alot better base for 2013. Makes sense in my head anyway lol.

 

[Bjerknes]

I stopped reading at Serie A experience. No time for that crap, sorry. Pazienza is a player even Napoli didn't value to keep on.

If we want to build, search for player from udinese , napoli , lazio and roma.

Sanchez
Hamsik / Cavani
Lichsteiner
Menez

Strengthen our squad and weakened our direct rival for UCL spot.

That's what Lucky Luciano would do.

 

[Bianconero81]

We have Marotta. He is an absolute genius, doing the complete opposite. Buying garbage from other teams, so that they in turn can strengthen with players of quality

 

[Nenz]

The longer this not buying any good players yet goes on, the more convinced I'm going to get that Marotta is not buying any good players at all. He is just way too slow for this job.

The mercato hasn't even officially started yet, has it? July 1st is the official day that clubs can sign players/sell players?
