I would like to see the squad shape up as follows:
GK:
BUFFON
MIRANTE
CB:
BARZAGLI
METZELDER
KOVAC
BOUMSONG
CRISCITO
RB:
GRYGERA
ZEBINA
LB:
CHIELLINI
BALZARETTI
DMF:
DIARRA/MAVUBA/SISSOKO (in desired order)
ZANETTI
PARO
GIANNICHEDDA
SMF:
NEDVED
CAMORANESI
MARCHIONI
SALIHAMDZIC
SS:
DEL PIERO
BOJINOV
PALLADINO
CF:
TONI/AMAURI
PIZARRO
ZALAYETA
Of course a few players can interchange between multiple positions, but I think that these transfers are all possible both from the players being attainable and the budget. We just need to make it to the Jan 2008 transfer period with a good status in the league and then maybe go after a big name signing.
I think these selections will fill much needed gaps with players that will fit our style. And I think the players selected will bring in good hope for the future. Perhaps the signing of Ljunberg would be beneficial or another free transfer player with some good experience.
One flaw in this lineup is that Camoranesi may leave and that would make us very thin outside. In this case I would definately choose to splurge on a player like Ribery or like I mentioned earlier go after a free transfer player to fill the void until January. The most important roles to fill are 2 CB's and 2 CF's. Then I would work on a DMF.
Of course if Buffon leaves, then we will all be scrambling to figure out how to replace the irreplacable. He is a massive key to our team and I hope he remains loyal to Juve.
Basically, we need to get to the Jan 2008 by being in a respectable position and focusing on the defensive ("boring") style we play. It is a successful style and we should choose players to fit that mold. In the Jan 2008 window I would start looking for a substitue for Del Piero as he will not be able to play every game in Serie A and we will have a huge gap when he doesn't start.
