Its one thing to want something, and completely another to get it. Obviously, its not a secret that Trez or Dp are on the out, and thats going to mean a new intro to the attacking line up whether you like it or not. If that is likely to be the case, i think someone like Cassano would pretty much settle our attacking line up for years to come. Mutu, to me would be the most versatile player in attack, and he could serve behind the front two as and when required, giving us a three pronged attack when it is called for and perhaps that edge that goes missing everytime Nedved does. I'd clearly see the need for four top notch strikers if we're to go all the way in the scudetto and CL. As we've seen, even someone like Zlatan is bound to get wayward with so much responsibility on him in the absence of Trez and the anonymity of Del Piero on the pitch. Id rather have class players sitting on the bench than someone like Zalayeta taking over from Trez in an injury plagued season! Irrespective, midfield is undoubtedly our number one priority, and we could do with a couple of reinforcements there alone.
What id like to see (unlikely but keeping in mind that we could use depth in our squad):
Out:
Appiah
Montero
Ferrara (Hope he has a future role to play at the club)
Tacchinardi
Del Piero
Blasi
Loan:
Olivera or Kapo
In:
Chivu
Kovac
Barzagli
Chillieni
Riquelme
Essien
Cassano
