To be honest, I don't see why we need to sign so many players for. We already have enough players and unless anybody leaves, there isn't a point in buying another player.
We have cover in every position, maybe except keeper but Buffon plays nearly all the time so its ok. We don't have superb cover but I think it is adequate.
Chinelli will probably be our new leftback with Zambro pushed into midfield. If Chinelli is injured, I'm sure Zamb can deputise or Pessotto can slot in.
If Zamb gets injured, I can see Nedved moving left midfield with probably Blasi/Appiah slotting in beside him. If Camo gets injured, there will be Kapo (if he's still here or else we'll need a new right winger)
I really can't place a finger on who to sign to strengthen the team. Kovac (even though he's a crocked player) and Gian are good realistic signings because they will provide the central defence cover we need. The only real backup we have there now is Montero, because Ferrara is really too old to be playing top-flight football anymore. And Legro is not a defender, at least not Serie A standard.
We have enough depth in the midfield but I do question the ability of the depth. But unless we sell, I don't see us buying. I think Oliveria is not a hot prospect and we should really like loan him or something to see what his true potential is. I never rated Tacchinardi, and look, he doesn't play for Italy. Wealth of talent there? Pffft, we have people like Cristiano Zanetti playing there.
Blasi is like a Gattuso wanna-be with alot of fouls, but no end product. Appiah is not good enough to play for us, he's better off playing for Brescia. I really wish we would get Maresca back, but if he comes back, where would he play? Would he be content sitting on the bench?
The only player I really wish we could get is Maresca, and I'm not afraid to say we should drop Nedved and play Maresca alongside Emo in midfield. Nedved is not young anymore, we should play him sparringly and look towards the future. Nedved would be a good player to throw on in the last 20-30 mins of the game too, and he's not pacy but he will really run the midfield haggard
Is Maresca a Fiorentina player or do Juve still have a share of him? Really wanna see him back here, he gave his all which is what the Juve team kinda lacks in general. The only player who do make an effort are Thuram, Canna, Zambro, Emo (but the farker can't shoot to save his life) and Nedved (but his contributions are not much). That's it! I would love to say Buffon makes an effort but he's a goalkeeper he doesn't really run
Yeah, good thread. Looking forward to seeing entries on who we should sign and why
