Oh and we could get someone to rotate but we'd save a lot of money.Still,Secco said we'll buy someone on Nedved's position and so far what he said pretty much came true considering our transfer market.But I'm just saying that this way Giovinco would get his chance but still it all depends on his performaces further on.With the money saved we could buy some great full back and a central back.Something like Clichy & Ivanovic so we'd have defense covered and they are both pretty good,much better than the some we have right now.

---------------Buffon

Ivanovic-Chiellini-Legro-Clichy

---Sissoko-Tiago-Marchisio

---Amauri-Trezeguet-Del Piero/Giovinco

Ivanovic could cover the right side plus he can cover centar but it's better this way with a RB IMO because we'd have Criscito back and how knows it could be him next to Chiellini.Something like this would take around 25mln euros and that's Sivla/Diego but this way we could cover more.

Maybe.Because,

Nedved is going to retire
Camo is injury prone
Marchionni is pretty bad

We wouldn't really have AMR/AML (and I don't really think we have enough money to buy Silva or someone and someone else for the right side) while we're overcovered with central midfielders.

i really wouldn´t mind Cassano, if he can keep it up. If he comes, than I can not see any other alternatives than changing the formation, unless Ranieri has another opinion.

something like : Sisso - Marchisio

Camo

Cassano - Del Piero/Giovinco

Trez/Amauri

Just imagine Amauri or Trez upfront with Gio and Cassano as SS. Pure class if U ask me.

This is something I haven't considered. Its refreshing and filling me with hope. Rather than trying to replace an injury prone Camo, generally useless Marchionni and the dying Czech fury...make use of our overkill of defensive midfielders, allow Tiago and Marchisio, or even Giovinco to play the offensive role in the centre of midfield, and stick Del Piero, Trezeguet and Amauri up front. That routine would allow Cassano to come in and play either as a starter or a regular substitute. It would also allow us to spend some cash on much needed reinforcements to the defence...Because surely, Cassano would cost far less tha Silva, Ribery or Diego.

We need to act fast...one of us needs to write to Ranieri and to Secco. I would be for the challenge, composing a suitable letter, approved here first of course...

I think it would be 4-3-2-1
4-2-3-1 suits us better:

Buffon
Eboue Legrottaglie Chiellini Molinaro
Marchisio Sissoko
Cassano Giovinco Del Piero (C)
Amauri/Trezeguet​

There is lots of flexibility and versatility in those three up top. Camo will fit there as well. So does Marchionni.

Dusan, I'm really starting to think that we may run some form of 4-3-3 next season.
Well I think we could do much more with it and we'd use more players.If we want to keep 4-4-2 it would require a lot of money to get someone like Silva who'd dry 85% of our budget but we'd still have problems on the right side where Marco can't do the right job and not to mention struggling in defense with Grygera and Molinaro who'd have to improve a lot so Silva could shine.

I can see us doing much more with 4-3-3 where our defense,midfield and attack would be :tup:.

It's still too early to talk about but considering Nedved's retirement,Camo's absence that's killing us and load of players we have that cover MC spot maybe we're thinking to change it into 4-3-3?That way it could be very good for Tiago,Marchisio and Tiago while we'd have Poulsen in the back up.Not to mention our strikers would get more chances and it would be a killer.Del Piero is not getting any younger and Giovinco could get more playing time where he'd play a bit more defensively.


Del Piero-Trez-Amauri

Marchisio-Tiago-Sissoko

and

Giovinco-X-X

Marchisio-Poulsen-Zanetti

Unless we're thinking of getting Cassano where he'd get Giovinco's spot but that's not something I agree with.
New username, huh?
Do i have something to do with it? :p

Tiago and Poulsen (our invested money) would be pretty much wasted that way.Del Piero is not getting any younger and he will play less and I don't really think Molinaro could pull it off,unless he improves a lot in attack.But this way I think we'd be much stronger defensively

Sissoko-Tiago-Marchisio

Cassano-Giovinco

Amauri/Trez

The more I think about, the more it seems the answer to our problems and financial limitations. Lets cull this intense and unbearable demand on aging, injury prone and inept wingers. The question is...can ranieri see this solution***

It's not just Ranieri but If I (amatuer) saw it then I don't see any reason why our club full of professionals can miss it.

I'm not saying it's perfect but something to take under the consideration.

They probably will see it, because changing the shape and signing a creative forward is cheaper than signing a top class winger.

Whether Ranieri agrees to it is another matter...

The thing that worries me, or kills of my hope of this becoming a reality, is Ranieri's steadfast determination to stick to the 4-4-2, even when Nedved and Camo are damaged and our central midfield options are too many to be listed here and now. Maybe he hasn't seen the potential, or is simply too afraid. I can understand Claudio wishing to give the formation a try, but not until this season is over and he has the summer to play around with new ideas. If Cassano is coming in, we are definitely changing to three up front...there is no other way of implementing him.

Tiago and Poulsen can play in my formation instead of Marchisio and Sissoko, nothing changed there.

Del Piero playing less is not an issue, as I said the three attacking midfielders are versatile. David Silva can play there if we get him, Diego, etc. Even Camo or Marchionni.

You don't have to really comment on Molinaro, I used him just to complete the formation.

We don't have to be much stronger defensively if we strengthen the defensive department, a 4-2-3-1 offers much more forward though.
