Who do we need more than Rosicky? I'm going to give you a recent and applicable example of how the addition of one imaginative attacking player can change the furtunes of a team despite the contuining lack of depth and quality in other departments: FC Barcelona and Ronaldinho. They've not had a good defense for years and years, so what do they do? They go out and buy a brilliant young playmaker and they turn themselves around. Can Rosicky do the same for Juventus? Yes. Will he? We'll only know if we buy him.

This year thay finally get rid of Frank De Boer,
Found Oleguer
Found a reliable keeper: Victor
Loaned Van Bronckhorst from Arsenal
and above all, they loaned Davids, the missing link for Barcas success. The unbeaten run started with Davids' first game in barca.
So I really doubt Rosicky would solve our defensive problem.
