fair enough..
but don't come here and moan about it when we'll have DP, Trez or Miccoli injured and there is no decent sub for them..
I won't talk about the defence cuz it's obvious that we need new defenders instead of Montero, Iuliano and legrotaglie who hardly qualify for warming the bench..
Our defenders are good physically, and they are all experienced and professional. I dont think they as players arent good enough, (example: Legrottaglie in Chievo, Montero a couple of seasons ago, and Ferrara.).
There is something else who is wrong, maybe they need time to adjust to each other, maybe they have low confidence, and that kind of things cant money solve.
I believe Capello will sort it out, make Zebina-Thuram-Legro/Montero-Zambrotta a good defense, but it will take probably another season without winning, the same way it would have take time to get new players to work in the system. The only difference is that instead of throwing players away after just one bad season, we give them another chance and saves the money.
