Something logical.Don't buy attackers.Buy Rosicky and Samuel
So
Buffon
Thuram-Samuel-Cannavaro
Camoranesi-Emerson-Rosicky-Zambrotta
Nedved
Attacker-----Attacker
The 2 atackers will be 2 of DP,Trez,Ibra,Mutu and Zalayeta
I pretty much like 3-5-2 as it is more versatile than the classic 4-4-2, but it's not a good Juve formation, or right side would be too vulnerable against a team with fast and good left wings, as Camo has crappy defensive abilities and Thuram ain't that young anymore.
Also Samuel has had a crappy last season, and while I think that a move back to Italy can only do good for him, putting him as a Libero in Juve might be too much for him.
For that formation I'd rather have Pizarro than Rosicky, if only because Pizarro has slighly better defensive qualities than Rosicky and could help out Emo, who'll be carrying the weight of the game.
For our back line we'd still have some lack of bench depth, but overall it's a formation I'd like to see in Juve. So my reinterpretation of this formation would be:
Buffon
Thuram-Samuel-Cannavaro
Camoranesi-Emerson-Pizarro-Zambrotta
Nedved
Ibra - Trez
The formation is flexible enough that you could replace other players without too much ado...
