I don't mind if we get Rhodolfo in January. He is young and we can get him a little later - besides we can keep Sorensen until January as well. Bonucci-Alves swap would be great. Not sure what happens with Ziegler though.
So in the end, it looks like this:
IN: Lichsteiner (10m), Pirlo (0m), Vidal (13m), Alves (~13m), Elia (9m), Vucinic (15m), Estigarribia (0.5m loan), Giaccherini (3m), Pazienza (0m), Ziegler (0m).....TOTAL = ~50m
OUT: Sissoko (7m), Melo (1.5m to loan), Grygera (3m), Amauri (5-6m), Bonucci (8m), Pepe (9-10m), Martinez (loan), Storari? (3m), Others (Almiron 50%, Ekdal 50% etc.....3m). TOTAL = 32m
NET = <20m. Buy outs for Pepe, Matri, Quags and Motta had costed us ~30-35m.
I would be satisfied with that....keeps the powder dry for the January transfer window.
Squad looks like:
Buffon
Manninger
Kirev
Lichsteiner
Motta
Alves
Chiellini
Sorensen
Barzagli
De Ceglie
Ziegler
Krasic
Giaccherini
Vidal
Pirlo
Marchisio
Pazienza
Elia
Estigarribia
Vucinic
Matri
Quagliarella
Del Piero
Toni
Iaquinta?
Starting line-up:
-------------Buffon---------------
Lichsteiner-Alves-Chiellini-De Ceglie
--------Vidal---------Pirlo---------
---Krasic--------------------Elia---
----Quagliarella-------Del Piero-----
Bench:
Manninger
Barzagli
Sorensen
Marchisio
Estigarribia
Del Piero
Matri
I can't complain.....starting XI better than last year particularly the defense if we manage to get Alves. Rhudolfo would be a nice luxury to have but we can wait till January for him if that is the case. I think Conte is threatening Krasic so he lifts his game (I really don't think he will be sold in January)
