Put Giovinco on the left and we're set.. and exchange Sali to the right so it give more defence protection for Grosso who are bad at defending. But was Gio injured in last friendly match against Ittihad? Is it serious?
About 4-4-2, i pretty much agree that our players fit this formation. In the end of last season when Ferrara took charges and gave us 2 wins, he used 4-4-2 formation. But then he pushed to use 4-3-1-2 because we already agreed to buy Diego..
I think you're right. I don't like De Ceglie there, Giovinco on the left wing with Sali on the right sounds alot better. It would be cool to have Diego kind of as a support striker as well, so the formation would look something like this: (this is my wishful formation)
--------------------Manninger---------------------
Caceres-------Legro--------Chiellini-----Grosso
Giovinco------Melo---------Poulsen-----De Ceglie
--------------------Diego--------------------------
----------------------------Trezeguet-------------
