In a diamond midfield, it is better to rely on the wing backs to work on the sides otherwise your midfield become flat and out of solutions. It will isolate the playmaker or exhaust him and in Nedved's case it will isolate him because of his age.

Won't work. You can't have two wingers in a diamond midfield.
Well, actually you can. AZ in Holland plays with two wingers in such a midfield and with only unproven talents and a totally new team they managed to reach the cup final, losing on penalties against ajax, and to be top of the table until the final match of the competition. Other then that, they kicked out Newcastle and Fenerbace out of the uefa cup and they won against Sevilla. With a diamond mid and two wingers in it.

Yes, a winger needs to help both defence as well as the attack, so i think if they play structured enough it's possible

Manure is nothing compared to Juventus.
That comes from a Juve fan, and Milan fan will say that Milan is the biggest but you can't compare thoose clubs. The fact is that ManU have the second biggest fanbase in the world, but we are third and when you look how much ManU is putting into a marketing and how muche Juve than it's obvius that Juve is more loved and I'm proud on that.

Midfield will become too stretched, especially when you have Nedved pushing up as well.
It does work with wingers, as long as they track back. Sweden's been using a diamond midfield with two wingers for years now. With good results.

It would work with Brazzo but not Quaresma.

What formation we'll use next season in case we buy VDV. I don't think we can use him in 4-3-3 bicoz he prefer to play in the center. Same for 4-4-2. I think that we should use 4-2-3-1 especially if we lose trez.

Who do you want as an attacker than? We don;t have a real scoring striker now

Yes but VDV (20 mio) and Huntelaar (13 mio) will cost a lot and we also need another midfielder and a defender (or 2) we don't have that much money
You're right but i read that napoli will have 30 mil euro for transfers so we should expect more. Besides that we most probably will sell trez and camo + some other players and we can get at least 20-25 mil euro.

True but I am affraid we won't get that much money for the both because they only have a contract for a year
