you dont need to sign 'world class' players to win titles, you need to sign a bunch of players that you think will be compatible with each other, and IMO the management have done a good job so far
Absolutely.

My main concern for next season is how defensively strong our midfield will be if Tiago and Almiron will be playing together.

well Tiago first started out as a DMF, so im sure he will do a great job working between mid and defense. he can also assist in attack with his assists and great long shots. as for almiron, he is good when he attacks as he showed last season with empoli

my dream signing for CB will be barzagli and AMF will be nasri or marseille..

Platini -> Zidane -> Nasri

sound good.! :D
Nasri is good but I would rather get a more proven player like Diego or Van Der Vaart.

Also I would think Marseille would be very relutant to sell Nasri since they have already sold Ribery this summer.

Tiago is OK defensively but I don't know how much Almiron will help out. I just don't see either as being particularly good ball winners in midfield to really protect our defence.

Going from 2 world class destroyers and 2 world class CBs when we were last in serie A to having an OK central defence and no destroyer is a big gamble.

Oh man -- Juve has always taken great midfielders and turned them into crappy DMs. It's a sickness this team has. One solid first DM would be plenty, IMO. I don't want to be fielding another Emerson-Vieira combo again. :sick:

I'm not suggesting we go back to having 2 destroyers, I just feel Tiago and Almiron may not give the defence enough protection.
