Zizou,
I am pretty sure Moggi and Don Fabio have some plan in their sleeves but what I worry is the quality of that plan both short term and in the long run.
. And more importantly, ability and commitment on the side of management to carry out the plan. Of course my perceptions depend heavily on the accounts provided by various online sources, some of which may be pure fabrication and others true reflection of what happened and thus I do not have idea what their plan exactly is but nonetheless I will argue that our transfer policy hasnt been aggresiveness enough and very short sighted until now. Furthermore, Moggi's style of negotiating is flawed, and does very little to help the team.
As far as I am concerned, attempts to likes of Vieri, Oddo, et al sounds like short term choices that is merely papering over the cracks rather than filling them in. The matter of fact is that we have many players that are around or over 30: Nedved, Tach, Del Piero, Iluliano, Montero, Ferrara, Thuram, Chimenti and many of these players are going to be in the First 11 next year. The last thing we need is another 30+, or nearby 30s in the team, as it will only make the rebuilding much harder in the future. In this sense, Canna, Vieri, Oddo are no-goes despite the fact that they are very good players.
Secondly, I think in order to compete we need enforcement in many areas of the field which requires minimum 5 players and 7-8 players if possible. We need at least 2 young CBs, young RB, midfield general better than Tach, one or two wingers, and a striker. I am quite pleased with Zebina, Kapo, Chiellini signins and I really hope that Olivier and Chiellini get fair share of chances next year. The problem IMO is that Moggi has somehow missed opportunity to sign Ferrari and Mexes, both an absolute bargain and
amazing value for money and havent been aggressiveness enough in signing top quality young attacking player such as Gila and Joaquin. Most importantly, while it is nice to know that Moggi is hard negotiator, there is no need to risk the whole deal over couple of million when supposed signing can bring millions more. I believe that he refused to sign Chivu last year because he felt sums of money in the deal were not justified, and were not great value for money. Value for money represents the relation between a player and transfer fee, and not just the money alone, and I advise Moggi to be honest about the true marginal comtribution of his signing rather than just being a hard negotiator.
This tendency is reflected in recent contract negotiations that resulted in a loss of Davids for nothing, loss of Trezeguet for pittance, and possibly a sale of Enzo Maresca for pittance.
I have been a big fan of his and recognize his contribution to the club over the years, but unless he has good Calcio Mercato, I am going to be one of those calling for his head.
