what we need is a combination of class and speed... you could see that we have class in the defence and midfield, but we don't have it in the strikers department..
if we have speed we could hit them on the counter and score a goal
if we have class we could hit them even if they are defending
we did none of it against bayern in 180 minutes
if we want to defeat a team like bayern and real and such, we need upgrades in class (player that can score even when defenders are in front of him) or speed (the good old counter football)...
if we could buy a player who has both class and speed... we are doing good bussiness
if we have speed we could hit them on the counter and score a goal

did real madrid play catenaccio too against galatasaray because they let them have the ball and hit them on the counter? seriously stop it you have no clue to tactics, we have never played catenaccio under Conte.
bonucci is not a regista
something called a ball playing defender, doesn't make him a regista.
asamoah to replace Vidal in midfield?
ok i can't be fucked to read the rest of your post it has idiocy stamped all over it

I doubt PSG will sell him given the fact he played very well this season.
One of them could play. We would need some defensive minded winger like Camoranesi was to play this way. Also Chiellini in Bonucci's position and some proper LB who can actually put some decent cross while not not forgetting his defensive duties.
Well, last night showed we are far from being a European force. We can dominate and shit all we want on Serie A opposition, and that is because Serie A is a weak league, behind the likes of the EPL, La Liga, and the Bundesliga. Next year teams like Bayern, Madrid, and Barca will further strengthen their ranks, and the likes of Chelsea, City, PSG, and United will be back and hungrier than before. If we fail to strengthen, we might not even make it to the QFs, as if you stay the same you are only falling behind, as the only constant is change.
Whereas the likes of Madrid, Barca, and even Bayern and to a certain extent Dortmund have "Hollywood Blockbuster" type attacks, ours is merely a straight to video release attacking unit. The gulf in class and quality is all to evident. Gio isn't good enough, and both Matri and Quag might cut it against local opposition, and the lesser teams in Europe, but are way out of their league against top notch opponents. Iaquinta, Bendtner, and Anelka are surely out the door come summer time, and the only one with a semblance of quality, Vucinic, is too inconsistent to be anything but a bench option come next season. I'd overhaul our entire forward line, selling them all if the opportunity arose, but we all know that isn't going to happen.
Hence, we need to focus on getting to Bayern's level within the next 3-5 years, and the way we do that is by adding quality every single season. No need to waste funds on the likes of Diamanti and Osvaldo. Buy a quality SS, search for exciting youth talents, and keep building a solid quality unit. We will obviously need fillers in the squad, but at present we have a lot of bench/squad players, and insufficient quality, especially in attack.
We are covered when it comes to defense and midfield, with the exception of a few minor tweaks. If we can get a quality LWB, go for it. A backup CB and CM are required, but not a priority. The biggest investment must be reserved for the SS position. I feel that with a new SS (preferably a versatile one), and Llorente, we will be able to mount a more significant challenge next season.
Moreover, we seem to lack a plan B. We always seem lost/confused when things don't go our way. Hence, versatile quality players are a requirement, guys who are able to adapt and adjust depending on the circumstances, and possibly cover more than one position.
Marotta's comments don't inspire nor instill confidence in me. However, I will reserve judgement until the summer mercato is over. However, he doesn't strike me as a winner, as he has never managed a big club in his entire career, and was never a star player (or played at a big club). Hence, the expectations and mechanisms/mechanics of operating at a big club might be overwhelming for him. He might turn out to be a Ranieri style sporting Director; good enough to build/assemble a solid unit, but not good enough to give us that extra push/take us to the next level. Nonetheless, he has the summer to prove me and other detractors wrong. Only time shall tell whether he is cut for a club like Juventus, or whether it is time to hand the reins to someone else.
