I totally agree that our transfer market was horrible:

We bought Iaquenta for 11M and sold Miccoli who is much better in everything
We bought Grygera who isnt a good CB and C-Ra doesnt try him as a RB
We bought Tiago and Almiron while we need just one
We already have Crisito and still looking for young CB such as Zapata and Ivanovic
We loaned out Giovinco while he should stay and learn form Nedved, slowly replace him , and now we're looking for a left winger as Nedved's sub

It's my first post here so go easy on me if i'm wrong

What makes Iaquinta a good forward exactly? To me he's a very mediocre player, a decent rotation guy at best. He may be good enough to start for Udinese and Lippi was able to find a use for him on the national team but I would have preferred Quagliarella 100%.
seriously and he wouldve cost a few million more which right now looks like a bargain with the way iaquinta is playing...14 goals in serie a is good but with the way hes playing is 5 too much to ask for
the miss he had yday in the 45min napoli game was a joke....anyone wouldve uried that even a defender!!!!!!!!!
and having trez..who cant start an attack and only lashes on to the ball after its been delivered to him...i just dont c how our attack can score with the combination of these 2
i only hope palladino begins to grow fast cuz we will need him..as far as im concerned iaquinta will become a regular bench player after this season and he is by far the dumbest transfer in terms of money that we did...andrade and almiron who are both outperforming him were cheaper

thats a great first post
iaquinta was a huge mistake...and paying nearly 3 times what we sold miccolli for....seems like secco was horrible at math during his childhood and still is
bout grygera ur right...hes been playing as a rb mostly during his career and would do a better job there than both biri and zebina but then what do u do with those 2 idiots
instead of buying both tiago n almiron..we couldve bought a star player like diego,vdv,sneijder....and given marchisio and nocerino a chance to shine even though im very pleased with the acquisition of tiago
bout giovinco..he just came out of the primavera squad..hes still very raw but one day i hope he will be defending the white n black as a starter

Good first post!

Iaquinta is a different forward that Miccoli and much more versatile... I think he was primarily purchased because of his ability to play as an aggressive, offensive winger... something Palladino was being asked to do by Deschamps and something his skill set didn't quite seem to match. Miccoli is more in the mold of Del Piero and Palladino, and arguably not better than those two. He was a little pricey, but I think he'll be worth it. He's a ballchaser, which differs him from all the other forwards, save maybe Zalayeta. I liked this purchase actually despite his alledged piss poor form so far in the friendlies.

I really don't think Grygera is a Ranieri player, and Claudio is trying to find a place to make him work. I think not putting him as a right back is a mistake. Him and Zebina should be alternating that position, depending on form. Zebina is an excellent player when he wants to be, but having his sub being Birindelli will do nothing to motivate him.

I really liked both these signings, cause central midfield depth is incredibly important. However, signing both these guys is not something a rebuilding team does unless there is a lot of confidence in the Nocerino/Zanetti tandem holding down a midfield position as the defensive conscience. Neither seem to be comfortable on the wing. Almiron looks like the better of the two, but I think we'll be quite happy to have both of them.

I sort of agree with your evaluation of the CB situation. Why buy back Criscito and then go after Ivanovic or Zapata? I don't know why Ivanovic... he's just as unproven in Serie A as Criscito. Zapata on the other hand has proven Serie A experience, is not as young as the other two, and could be a long term force on CB. With Barzagli getting locked up long term, there really aren't a lot of Serie A proven options under 26.

Loaning out Giovinco was a mistake, period. I would have rotated him on an aggressive offensive formation like the trident with Del Piero, playing alongside guys like Iaquinta and Trezeguet to hone his playmaking skills. This kid is likely the real deal, and the likely replacement for DP if developed right. I don't think he is a direct Nedved replacement on the wings however, he's more of a CAM or Support Striker. I think they have to buy someone like VDV or Riquelme to do that.

Quag might be a gamble which can go either way... still I see that he have enough quality to shine in sides like Juve.

If it was me, I would pick Hunter ahead of both.
Hunter is great, but he is too similar to Trez to be able to play with him. That is why we were only interested when it looked like Trez would leave.

Me.

Iaquinta has consistantly scored goals in Serie A.

Quag may well be a one season wonder.
I must agree with you. And IMO Iaquinta is not that bad player. He is really fast and he just need a little confidence and he could do miracles. We just need his 15 goals and I will be satisfied with transfer.
After all defence must concentrate on him and this means more space for others.

Iaquinta will be a solid signing, he isnt a glamour signing but he will put in the necessary hard running (which we lack), will add something different (so could change a game if he was subbed on) and will chip in with some goals.

our champion signing he is not, but he could be a valued member of our squad.

I want us to sign one big bad ass defender. One the opposite team is afraid of. One true badass. One like the old Materazzi. I really miss Montero!

4-3-3 easily become 4-5-1 and is boring without the right players. But when it works, its so fun to watch!
