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.
