3 things:
Marotta should get Alvaro Pereira. Cant afford Napoli to get this guy on a loan, ffs!!! He would fit perfectly in Juve. Lets go for him.
Maybe Marotta should give a look at Rossi. He's been injured for almost 2 years and would be a gamble, for sure.
But on the other hand: he's still young; he had a fuckin awesome season just before injuring; his price is certainly very low due to injuries and Villarreal is not keeping these guys, as they are in 2nd division. They could perfectly accepct a loan + option to buy. Very doable, and this could really pay off.
Also, it seems clear to me that Marotta is waiting for City to buy someone in order to chase Dzeko. I think that he'll wait to the very end of the mercato to see if that happens. Also, Llorente doesn't have many teams chasing him, so at the end of the mercato if Bilbao doesn't get any offers, they'll be desperate to sell him. It's a worth gamble by Marotta.
So Marotta's strategy is pretty clear. He's waiting till the end. If City buys a new striker, Dzeko is the one to come. Otherwise, it will be either Llorente or Jovetic.
Also it seems clear that Matri is not in Conte's plans. They'll let him go on a cheap and bring in Pazzini, who will cost a little more.

Oh and also I think Quags is staying. Only possibility of him leaving is the arrival of Rossi (but this is my idea, not Marotta's)

Hey, with Giovinco, Rossi, Vucinic, Dzeko/Llorente/Jovetic, Pazzini, we would be pretty good at CF, huge huge improvement from last season.
Still would like to see a reliable CB coming, though.
