The two things we have to constantly bear in mind are that any player signed for next season can't really be a short-term solution, he must be part of a longer term project, with the aim laid out yesterday of being in position to dominate both domestically & in European competition. Secondly, they must make us better, while not giving too many options next season as we still will not have European football. We do need, IMO, the following positions covered for next term;
one - maybe two - central defenders
one starting full back
one world class holding midfield player
the on form, commited Trez & Camo, or like for like replacements
Obviously its vital that we secure a return to CL football next term & then continue building our squad, adding more players & replacing others as they get older or wish to leave the project. If you want me to put names to positions, I'd like our squad for next season to look like this;
P. Buffon, Mirante
D. Grygera, Balza, Biri, Chiellini, Zambro, Kovac, Criscito, Barzagli, Dainelli
CC. Camo/Quaresma, Marchionnni. Zanetti, Paro, Marchisco, Sissoko or Gilberto, Nedved, Salihamozic
A. Ale, Bojinov, Palladino, Trezeguet/Toni, Zalayeta
I just wish we had Moggi to sort these deals for us, he could probably get the players I've named for Zebina, Tudor, Legro, a packet a tropical fruit bubbleicious & some skittles.........
