I am surprised to see that Ranieri is talking about Cassano in the same interviews as when he is discussing a replacement for Nedved. Am I mistaken in thinking that Cassano is far more offensive, in character and as a footballer, than Pavel. To my mind he is a striker who is adept at attacking from deep, but not a winger, which is what we need to replace Nedved...Silva, Diego or Ribery on the left AND Cassano in attack...OK. that would make some sense, but would also signal the end of Giovinco, unless he is destined to be used as a reserve left winger...
