Some sources say that we want Chamakh.

Everton, Sunderland, West Ham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Valencia are also following him.

Oh and I didn't say that Manchester United also wants him.

Nah, it's from mercato365.com

Chamakh is not good enough to play for a big team. He is a downgrade on Iaquinta btw, he'd do well for a Tottenham or an Aston Villa. But he does not deserve the hype he is getting now.

lol, I knew you would say this Fred...the guy has been pretty well recently, don't you think? he's definitely added to his game, he isn't just good in the air anymore

Iaquinta isn't even a good player

Iaquinta isn't even a good player

He's pretty decent player and a great sub but he's really over-rated.

 

[Ahmed]

who has ever overrated Iaquinta?

 

[Dostoevsky]

So many people on this forum.

 

[IrishZebra]

yeah

If we keep our present formation, to which Ferrara convinced himself it seems (and playing Tiago as a winger does say he convinced himself to the formation), Chamakh would be completely useless for us. After releasing Trezeguet, we won't need any new striker for the one starting spot.
A winger, preferably that could play on both sides, on the other hand, will be a must and for his sevices we should allocate the money Trez will free from the wage bill. I don't want to see De Ceglie as our left-sided alternative for Giovinco, he adds nothing to the team every time he's playing this season, while on the right Camoranesi can get injured or suspended at any time.

Angel Di Maria was great last time I saw him. Would fit perfectly in our new 4-2-3-1.

 

[IrishZebra]

Relisiticly we need 3 defenders an AMLRC and a CF

 

[Ahmed]

A winger is definitely a must, for the reason you mentioned, and that should be our priority over a striker. I've said so a few times, we're definitely screwed when either Gio or Camo aren't there.

Thing is though; Iaquinta isn't a real finisher and Amauri is somewhere in between. When playing with only one striker you need a Trez-type poacher, a player like Dzeko. I'm not sure Amauri is deadly enough to bang in 20+. I agree that it's become less of an urgent matter though.

Good points RVialli.

Don't know if we can find a winger who can play both sides. Del Piero will probably still play so he'd rotate with Giovinco while De Ceglie would still be there. I think I'd still go after Krasic to cover the right side which is more important than the left.

Angel Di Maria was great last time I saw him. Would fit perfectly in our new 4-2-3-1.

Last time I saw him he was a LW and we have Gio in that position. I would prefer a RW instead.

Iaquinta isn't even a good player

I disagree. I think he's a good player. For a guy thats supposed to play second fiddle, he is a very good option. Hard worker with bags of pace that could cause any team problems. You won't find many teams with strikers better than him on the bench.

Iaquinta isn't even a good player

Iaquinta is a very good player, he just isn't world class. He is a great 4th choice striker and when on form (like the end of last season) he can be brilliant. His inconsistency, lack of ball skills and habit of missing guilt edged opportunities when not on good form hold him back from being a starter. I like Iaquinta and I hope he stays as a sub, can't find a better striker who is willing to be benched regularly
