My ideas for the new campaign:
GoalKeepers: Buffon and antonioli
Defendeers: well there is nothing much to worry here except a new RB (balza is cool but have a long way to go and i dont like chiellini) and a substitute for thuram.
Maybe Kovac can cover his back one more year.
Midfielders: Our big concern in the last seasons.
One of the duo Emerson-Vieira needs to go or to be benched. With the upcomong Marchionni ,which is a good player, we will gain for sure more options on the wings, and we need a player like Gerrard to be paired witha defesive mid if we are going to continue with the 4-4-2 or why not to drop both of them and play nedved there?.
Forwards: well,Zalayeta is going out, so we can bring one of our younger players like palladino to cover his shoes. If not, we can use Mutu in his natural position which is an attacker. Trez and Del piero can stay, they have been our best attackers in the season, altho del piero can start his real downfall at any moment. Zlatan, well is veyr clear that Capello has made this good player a real trouble for us, so why not release him?. My ideal move would be to swap him with Cassano, as real madrid are willing to get Ibra and Imo cassasno ia s layer with great vision, not only to score but to create, and is just underused in real madrid.
A formation would look like this:
---------------Buffon--------------
Balza/chie---Thuram-Cannavaro-Zambrotta
Camo------Emerson--Gerrard---Marchionni
-----------------Trez-----DP/Cass------------
Sub: Mutu as a forward
Formation 2:
Without Emerson and Vieira
---------------Buffon--------------
Balzaretti---Thuram-Cannavaro-Chiellini
Zambrotta------Nedved--Gerrard---Marchionni
-----------------Trez-----DP/Cass------------
I really think this formation can work as we know that nedved helps a lot in the recovery matters and he can build up plays much more efficiently than Vieria and emerson. Not to mention that his is a tuff tackler too. Bringing Zambrotta back to his original position can help a lot as he can attack and defend too.
Mutu can cover Trezeguet shoes anyday and from our 4 forwards, 3 of them are skilled ones that can create and assist a lot, being trezeguet the most static one but the most effective at the same time.
IMO both formations are very possible and there is not a big cash involved in it.
I would just try to find a more capable full back in the line of Eboue and this team would rock anyone in Italy and europe-
