I wasn't being serious in my previous post. I don't expect us to sign him because of Berbatov saga but I'd like to see him here. His wages wouldn't be a problem we can easily afford those 3 - 3.5m but his transfer fee is too high for us.
The only way we could get him would be Viola not making it to CL spot and Montella leaving them for Roma but even then we'd have to pay them 30m I guess which won't happen.
Being realistic I'd bring back Immobile in January as Bendtner's replacement. He can easily become our 4th choice striker to play as a sub or in coppa games. I think he deserves a chance, and can be helpful for us. He's not going to improve on Genoa's bench that's for sure. As for the summer I don't expect us to sign any big names too. I think we'll try to get Lewandowski as he'll probably be sold in the summer anyway but other than that I expect Conte and Marotta prefer to get let's say Ogbonna (or Benatia) plus Osvaldo than getting 'top class' striker for the same money.

Better 2-3 season solution than say, Drogba, who for my money is the best short term fit cash can buy.
Juve set for David Villa loan?
Juventus are reportedly in talks with Barcelona to take David Villa on loan for six months in January.
The Bianconeri are looking for a 'top player’ to strengthen their front line and have been linked with numerous options, including Didier Drogba, Athletic Bilbao outcast Fernando Llorente and even Celtic’s Gary Hooper.
According to Sky Sport Italia this evening, talks have begun with Barcelona to sign Villa on a six-month loan deal.
It is claimed the Catalans would be prepared to release the World Cup winner and even pay a portion of his wages.
Villa just turned 31 and has not found his form since returning from eight months out with a fractured tibia.
He made his comeback in August, but has barely featured for Barça, so a loan to Juventus would give him an opportunity to play more regularly.
However, the problem with the transfer is that Villa would not be available to play in the Champions League.
