IMO we wont sign another striker this season. I believe we will sell Matri which leaves us with Tevez, Vuc, Llorente, Quag and Gio. I'd be happy if we signed Ogbonna and Kolarov and our defence is sweet. Then sign a winger and were set! Champions League is def within our reach. Good job so far Marotta and co.
I'd say we're still a couple of signings away from completing our team. Ogbonna and Kolarov/LWB should fix that though. Jovetic would be the cherry on the top.
I'm not so sure that Ogbonna is completing an area we have a weakness in, unless you don't consider our depth good enough. Seems more like a good player that became available at a fair price, the bonus being he adds quality depth.
LWB of course you can make a case for, considering we don't have a real LWB on our books. On the other hand we do have Asamoah and Peluso already, so it's not a weak area.

I believe we really need another CB backup, I think that is our second biggest deficiency besides the obvious gaps that have now been filled. Having only 3 true CBs for a 3-5-2 is pretty ludicrous if you ask me, considering Caceres is more of a utility man rather than a player associated to any one position (imo) and Peluso is very average at CB to say the least..
LWB - I would like to see someone who is more dynamic in attack i.e. Kolarov, besides not having a true LWB/LB (De Ceglie is too cack to count). But I definitely agree you can argue it's not really necessary.
I can see us go for Nani if Conte has the 4231/433 in mind as an alternate to the 352. I'm pretty sure there will be a secondary formation though, it's probably why we have another offensive player in mind this mercato.
