This is how I think the mercato will develop..
- First of all, Marotta is going to speak more than he will deliver. I mean seriously, 4 new WC players? The man has in one year given us players like Toni, Barzagli, Pepe, Martinez, those are players I would have never believed would play for us. And I'm pretty sure that what he defines as world class is not even close to what we think is world class.
- No new manager, Marotta will keep his boy Del Neri around.
- No new striker, we'll get fooled into thinking that Quag and Matri are good enough cuz they both did good this season. No Sanchez, Rossi or whatever cuz they'll be way too expensive. And I'm pretty certain that they already think we have one of the best striking duo in the league in Quag and Matri.
- For sure we're getting a new RB. With all the problems and changings Del Neri has done this season in that position I'm pretty sure they've had enough.
- No new LB, they probably think De Ceglie is good enough.
- We'll sign Aquilani, and if we don't then we'll offer Pirlo a contract he can't refuse with him being 32 and all.
- Bastos or some other defensive LM will come.
