Yes, I'm quite certain of that actually. We don't need to score five goals a game to win the CL you know. Look at the last two CL winners. Baros, Cisse, Mellor, Sinama-Pongolle, Derlei, McCarthy, and co don't come close to Trez, Zlatan, DP, Mutu and Zala. Also, we would have been a lot better going forward last season if we had someone like Pizarro partnering Emerson. Playing with two defensive midfielders limited us, the forwards weren't to blame.
As Martin said, the purchase of Cassano would only make things chaotic as Del Piero is not leaving, Ibrahimovic is not leaving and Trezeguet probably isn't leaving. Even if Trez was leaving Casso isn't going to replace him.
