Honestly, selling Chiellini would be the rabbit out of the hat for marotta! It would be just magical. Then just firing him would be quite insufficient imho. If they want him as their next C. Ronaldo - yeah sure, you can not stop a hundred mils... but I doubt it.
And not making it to the CL would be a huge factor, whether we like it or not. If this is not just media BS (although it was already reported last year, and a fact is the beginning of every idea being a fantasy...) then someone knowing a thing or two about football is of the opinion that we won't make it to the CL.
And it is quite confusing with all the loans with options. I read a lot of theories and calculations here, but the overall conclusion is we will not have the cash for additional transfers. LB, RB , CM ... will not happen next summer and world class players could arrive on 01.2012 or later, if we would look like making CL in 2013, right?
My god, I still can't beleive that we are doing those calculations with our Juve. Fuck that!
