We have great forwards.. even if Rossi weren't to join us, we've got 2 excellent players for each of those positions. That looks damn sexy though.

We haven't good 2nd forward.

Del Piero
Trezeguet
Amauri
Iaquinta
Giovinco

We can't f*ck up on our fullbacks. So far we can't complain on our mercato. We basically have the starters at mid and in front, we just need solid fullbacks and we're set.

 

[Ken]

We have excellent ball winners too, excellent goalkeeper, and very good Chiellini (hopefully very good Cannavaro) in CD.
One playmaker next to the ball winners and two powerful full backs will make this team really strong.

As JCK said, the 5 years plan (creating a strong team, adding good depth, building a stadium etc) is slowly but surely being fulfilled. Buying a good playmaker, maybe Rossi for Trez, and AT LEAST one great fullback this year will put us in great position to create a great starting XI next summer when all we'll need will be another full back and finally a world class CB in Canna's place.

I don't wanna jinx anything, but i like it how things are shaping up.

Couldn't agree more really, we're really strong in quite a few positions, but those fullback positions are something to be really worried about still. I hope we get Criscito and maybe Motta, but I'm afraid as far as we'll go when it comes to fullback positions are the likes of Grosso / Dossena. On the other hand I find it hard to believe Ferrara would settle for 1 LB @ 30+ years of age.

Rossi would definitely be a good step when you look at the future, building a 'new' and younger Juve. So much potential..

 

[Brandmon]

Del Piero
Trezeguet
Amauri
Iaquinta
Giovinco

I wouldn't call Trez and Amauri our 2nd Strikers but yeah... What more would we want.

 

[Ken]

Del Piero
Trezeguet
Amauri
Iaquinta
Giovinco

Exactly my point.

 

[Alessandro]

Del Piero
Trezeguet
Amauri
Iaquinta
Giovinco

Trez, Amauri, Iaquinta - 1st forward aka striker.
DP - 2st forward aka aka support forward
Gio - something between DP and Diego

Del Piero is still an excellent support striker.

Amauri, Iaquinta and Giovinco can all play that role, too, and in different ways.

 

[Ken]

DP/Trez - Amauri/IQ
Diego/Gio

I realise their characteristics aren't all the same, but that's how it would look like in our 4-3-1-2 formation. Meaning we have 2 in every position, that's what I meant .

------------amauri---------
---rossi----diego----giovinco

----marchisio--sissoko-----

would be so fun to watch when were not conceding

 

[Alessandro]

Seel Trez, buy Rossi, make team younger and more balanced.

Only put Gio on the left ;-)

I've been screaming about rebuilding with youth ever since I stumbled upon this forum all those years ago.

Its about time, but to me there were some missed opportunities, such as Pazzini and Montolivo.

As far as a fullback is concerned, the only type that I would want to see, to use a hockey term, is a "stay at home defenseman". One whose responsibility will be to stay in his own half of the pitch, and not be conerned with being a part of the buildup.

Hell, that might be cheaper too

But we will need aat least one attacking full back to make the 4-3-1-2 system work.

rossi is left footed.

We need them to offer width going forward if we're going to play 4-3-1-2.

Isn't that what Moinaro is for???


Oh, you mean attacking as far as being in the build up, not trying to kill people with his crosses

I learned something new today.

That apparently I'm fucking stupid
