Footballpress.net http://www.footballpress.net/I think it's a translated version of tuttomercatoweb or something, and I've no idea how realiable that is, soooo....
Exactly, we need difference makers, thats something we've been lacking since DP, Nedved and Trezeguet got old. We need quality players that you could lean towards when you need something out of the ordinary just like Etoo gives Inter, Zlatan gives Milan etc etc. We could easily get 2 amazing players for 25m each. I mean even Marotta has said that this team is in serious need of QUALITY but all we're doing right now is spending that money on quantity. Instead of signing 2 WC players we sign 3 good players and one useless. We could manage without Quag, Aquilani and Matri if we used the money the right way.
Honestly, at this point I wouldn't buy Pepe OR Aquilani. Aquilani hasn't been playing well enough to earn a 16M price tag. Quagliarella and Matri have contributed alot for us this season, and they are the only one's that deserve a spot on the team.
If we dropped Aquilani and Pepe we'd save 23.5M. We could almost buy Rossi, Neymar, or Pastore for that kind of money.

We would certainly have a team. If you don't sign the four aforementioned players along with Motta and Rinaudo, we'd be left with this side at our disposal (including the hypothetical signings of Pastore and Sanchez, along with bringing back Giovinco):
Chiellini
Grosso
Barzagli
Bonucci
Grygera
De Ceglie
Sorensen
Melo
Sissoko
Brazzo
Marchisio
Martinez
Krasic
Giovinco
Pastore
Iaquinta
Del Piero
Toni
Sanchez
Buffon
Sorensen - Bonucci - Chiellini - DC
Melo - Marchisio
Krasic - Pastore - Sanchez
Toni
Just with those two signings alone we become a better team. Considering we are probably going to sign a couple other players besides the aforementioned loan option players, guys like Beck and Bastos, we might be able to make this work. Sign Beck or another RB and an LB instead of Bastos, bring back Ekdal and Giovinco, and we'd have a vast improvement over this year, IMO. This is in spite of the weak group of forwards above.
One could throw out Sanchez or Pastore and sign another world class player instead for another position, like Mascherano, and we'd still have a better side than we do now, in my view.
This route isn't the exact route I'd take though. I'd probably sign Matri or Quag and Aquilani and try to sell the leftover deadweight to raise cash. But signing all four of them along with Pepe is simply wasting too much capital for their ability.
