Come to think of it, Diego plus cash for Ribery doesn't sound like that much of a longshot. Thats assuming Juve are willing to part with Diego for the injury prone Ribery.

Well the fact that he is so injury prone, actually makes this less of a long shot. I think that most clubs will think twice before signing him, and honestly I don't see him going for a kaka'esque transfer fee. I think a club paying more than 35M for him is just crazy.

An injury prone player to an anjury prone club. We'd have a real good team on paper.

I'd love to take him, but not for much more than 35.

I could see something like


Buffon
Caceres, Chiellini,xxx, xxx
Melo, Sissoko
Ribery, Diego, Gio
Treze

With Marichisio and Poulsen as backup defensive mids, Camo and Candreva, Iaquinta backups for offensive mids. We have to keep our strikers, or do some exchange magic as what is left from a Ribery purchase, should be used on Defense. And then we should hope Melo and Sissoko will perform. I could see this become a good team, with a fine age. But perhaps we'd need a leader in the midfield. Don't know.

just an idea, I really don't see any other way we could get Ribery
that would mean we go back to a 4-4-2

Chiellini, Marchisio e Sissoko punti fermi: tra i big Buffon, del Piero e altra chance per Diego. Rimarranno anche De Ceglie, Legrottaglie, Grygera, Poulsen e Iaquinta.
It's good that they are keeping Poulsen who I really miss. Any news on when he is back?

I would change them with Melo, Trez, Camo,
i wouldn't keep melo and camo..first one needs another team cuz he sure didn't perform for 20 and something mils, and the last one needs an atletico madrid or sth like it team cuz he always gets injured and he's old.. gio for his place.

not Marchisio?


I doubt they are thinking of keeping Giovinco and De Ceglie...
Canna and Grosso are far from great as well.
i forgot about him but i tried to pick a balance team.. now giovinco is a must in the next team..such a talent doesn't need to be wasted or sold for 6 mils, de cegle the same, he's from primavera..we gotta raise these kids not sell'em. Oh and we gotta retire legro or sell him or do sth with him...and keep fabio as 1st sub for the cb position, he's the perfect man for it if we'll get a wc pair for chiello. Now in the attach, del piero and iaquinta..even trez would be ok to stay..sell amauri, put immobile in his position and that's it...let's pay big money for the defence not for the strikers because in the last 3 season we payed enough..

Ranieri? why? we were great before in a 4-4-2
it's not because of a bad streek under a lousy coach that the tactic is bad
Just a joke.

But it would just underline the incompency of this BOD, if they buy Diego against the will of Ranieri, sack him (part that, and part the results at the time) and now trade Diego for Ribery, giving him one year to shine, in a team that is falling apart. Wanting to play with a treqaurtista, changing everything 50 percent don't give it time to work, change it back.

Lets say we do that. Then our midfield would be Gio - Sissoko -Melo - Ribery

Ribery would shine there, but Giovinco would not. Camoranesi is getting too old and Candreva would no be good as a winger. De Cegli could play, but I don't see him playing that position in a CL competing team.

I don't have anything against 442, but I have something against changing things everytime it does not go well. So as somebody else stated earlier. We should find a WC coach, and then start constructing a squad. I wanna change formation again if we have a coach with vision and time, not bc we suddenly have a chance for Ribery, and feel we cant pass on it.

you really think it's good keeping an average back up injury prone DM who costs us 6 million a year in wages?

we've wasted 12 million on Poulsen's wages so far. plus the 8 plus million for Tiago.

thats 20 million that could have been used to purchase a good defender.

:(

Poulsen has not been bad this season - and I don't think he is injury prone. This injury he has now, is unavoidable. Granted, i'd prefer better players than poulsen, but he has been way better than Melo, the depth was needed, so might have wasted his salary,but considering squad depth, we should have somebody there, so I don't think you can perform that calculation and use it as an argument.

Tiago, imo, has been a much bigget waste than Poulsen, and I doubt he will be coming back.
