Marrotta didn't approach Samp when Cassano was free, he's not going to go after him now. Di Natale previously turned Juventus down, and he's 34 years old.

Let's just stop being cheap and going for option number 10! Get that bloody top CF here Marotta, and if you can't do it this year don't BS and go out and buy a stop-gap A la Pazzini, Osvaldo, Mandzukic, or some shit like that. In that case, get Suarez/JoJo for this year, and focus all your efforts on the top CF next season. Simple really :D

:inter:

If we can't get one of RVP/Higuain/Cavani/Suarez/Dzeko/Jojo then I say don't waste any money and just get Destro and strengthen the rest of the team i.e LWB-Kolarov/Lulic, CB-Alves/Ranocchia/Peluso and 3rd GK-Arcari.

In a near pefect world we would probably give Napoli Matri + €20m for Cavani and Fio Gio + €10m for Jojo while still signing Destro, Kolarov, Alves? and Arcari.

I hope :ahmed: doesn't see this post :p

Lulic is decent, initially thought his role was an attacking midfielder, then he has been mainly left wingback, good offensively, though not seen enough to judge him defensively.


Much more interested in Adriano, or the LB in the Ligue 1 champs that will prolly get raided by everyone, Bedimo, looked interesting the times I saw them play.
Henri Bedimo was brilliant last season. Very solid fullback that is good going forward. For me he was the best left back in the Ligue last season. The Ligue has been producing some very good fullbacks in the past few years.

Yes, because signing Suarez or Jovetic is easy.

I am thinking long term Bro. JoJo or Suarez this year, and that CF (Higuain/Cavani) next year will make us compeittive for years to come. All of them are young, have tons of potential, and will serve this club for years. I'm not expecting us to win the CL next season, but I'd like us to mount a challenge, rather than embarrass ourselves.
Adding Jovetic while having Vucinic and Giovinco in your squad is a waste of money, even is he is going to be great in a couple of years... In that case we shouldn't have bought Giovinco. Which we did. Too bad, too late. We have more pressing matters to push for than buying a 4th second striker next to Vooch, Seba and Quags.

Suarez I'd agree on, playing him and Giovinco/Vucinic alongside any of our strikers (even Destro possibly) would be a massive upgrade. Won't happen 'though.

Where is this hope that we will still make a marquee signing coming from exactly? I have a strong feeling after Marotta's words that we won't end up signing any more strikers other than Destro. Buy him and where exactly are the funds for a 25M+ striker going to come from? And considering the exhausted options, who would that 'top' striker possibly be? Last year Marotta basically promised a top signing and we ended up with Vucinc. What do you think will happen after he's said we don't even need one?

Those are good questions, man. It is still early, and we're definitely going to raise some cash by selling a few players - plus, Matri and Conte, or potentially Matri, Marrotta, and another team, will need to work something out.

Matri didn't feature much this year - as in 2012 - and it kind of felt as though there's some sort of disconnect, or friction between he and Conte. How else could one explain Borriello featuring so regularly? So that type of scenario could potentially occur, and open a hole in the lineup. I do remember some quote by his agent saying that they were scheduling a meeting with management, to talk about his situation.

I think it depends largely on what opens up on the market. If RvP moves to another big club, it could shake a quality striker loose - potentially Dzeko at City? Although Robin's dad said he wouldn't go there. Anyway, an opportunity may present itself.

50M for depth purchases and no money for reinforcing our attack ?(i think this is going to be the excuse in the end)..

This is a really a weird strategy of prioritizing bench reinforcements over reinforcing our starting X1.
