I hear there was an agreement. Loan deal with the rights to buy for 8mln.

His father said he's looking forward to play with Forlan and Aguero. His pal Simao called him too it seems.

No its not, Ledesma and Gago are the same shit as Tiago.
Ledesma is a better passer of the ball who just happens to play some good set peices while deffinsively he's good. His only fault is lacking pace which he overcomes with long passes.
While Gago is a good DM and he really run his lungs out, yet his passes are worse than those of Melo ATM.
Both Tiago & Molinaro were no first team players anyway, so I really don't see the need to replace them.
What about the need to have some good backups for a change?

We should first decide on what formation / tactics we are gonna employ.
We also have to decide what's going to happen with Ferrara: will he be replaced; is he staying to finish the season; is he our long term plan; ...?

Also, it's not like we don't have enough players as it is, so getting rid of player X who has just 5 appearances, in order to replace him with player Y who is then in turn going to play 5 games does not make any sense to me.

I'd rather invest in new players that are an upgrade for the 1st team, instead of getting improved backups anyway.

Ledesma can work in all of the possible formations: 4-4-2,4-3-2-1,4-2-3-1,4-3-1-2 and finally 4-5-1. So I see no point in waiting for a new coach to note that we need a passing player in other words a regista.

In case you didn't notice, we always suffer from fatigue and injuries and this will only get worse with us playing Europa League games on Thursday. So We need good back-ups.

We don't have the cash to invest. Thats it.
