Marotta has 120 million euros to spend in 3 seasons. Sure, it's a big budget, but compared to Man City it's actually peanuts. It would be very unwise to spend 40-45 on a Dzeko or an Aguero when this is the case. And then there's the wage-issue.
As for Rhodolfo, I think we have a huge chance of getting him. We'll sign him up in January if not a Man City-like club comes in and offers him wages that we cannot match.
Agreed, LB and CB and on paper we are strong contenders with a good solid base to work off of. With Cl qualification and the funds earned from that we can hopefully start signing these WC players that demand a ridiculous amount for wages. January though I believe will be the off loading period for us.
I'll bet that melo will do as amauri and Tiago did before him and will probably screw the club in the coming years by going on loans untill his contract ends with club and he leaves for free.
It became something of a trend in this club and I would blame the management for that more so than anyone else.

Seems like it but I wouldn't hold my breath. If Bonucci steps up (which is unlikely) I highly doubt we'd get a CB. Maybe not even a LB if De Ceglie is 'solid' and un-injured.
