If we sign Cassano, we loose all chances of Aguero coming here. And HE is the SS we really need.
I appologize for going against the flow here, but NO to Cassano and certainly NO to him in January. Del Piero and the Quag can do for this year. This year Aguero is getting his Spanish passport and his contract is coming to a point where negotiations are possible, even for a budget-oriented team such as ours.
TBH I prefer an italian poacher/target man, rather than an italian SS. Cassano is good, no doubt about that, even better than anything we have, but he is no Aguero. Running around Estonia, Faroe Islands and our defence ... not impressive. Cassano instead of the Quag - I'll go to Turin and carry the luggage myself.
Just Imagine:
SS: Cassano, Aguero
TM: Dzeko, Amauri
That might even bring a 15+ return from Amauri...
PS: Not to mention we can get some kind of return out of Tiago, at last...
