We've just been given £50mil (or maybe it's euros, I'm unsure) for winning the Scudetto and qualifying for the CL, and it looks like we're already going to be spending some of it... on Borriello (if reports are to be believed).
I'm seriously concerned about the lack of a PROPER striker who will bang in 20+ goals a season, AND the lack of a Del Piero type player with amazing dribbling skills and flair.
Also, has anyone given the set-pieces any thought? With Del Piero leaving, and Pirlo more than likely to be given more rests next season, who exactly is going to take our free-kicks?
Ugh. All so much to think about.
It's also quite sickening to think that people would be happy for us to spend £40mil on Cavani, when we spent just £15mil on Trezeguet..(I'm aware that in today's market, that would have probably been more like £30mil). I passionately hate just going for the 'big' players.
Van Persie cost Arsenal £2.7mil. Messi cost Barcelona nothing but some compensation etc. They found these diamonds on their own.
They didn't just wait for a player to become noticed, and then get in a big bidding war or go for other club's stars who are already about to leave their prime. We just need some better scouting IMO.
