Catenaccio, 15 million for Giovinco? Really??? I reckon he has gone under the 10 million transfer mark...we overpaid to get him back, he doesn't fit in and he sits on bench a lot...15 million is not possible in my opinion anyway.
Nainggolan is an interesting player, but if we get a left back, say Criscito, it opens room for Asamoah to play in midfield again, meaning we'll have yet again another midfielder for rotation. With Pirlo, Pogba and Vidal being the starters, Marchisio, Asamoah & Nainggolan will have to fight for playing time off the bench. And the man that does need cover and a rest is Pirlo and we still don't have a back up solution for him , unless Asamoah plays in his role. 6 midfielders for 3 roles, with one of those midfielders being unique in Pirlo, I just think we need to be careful...unless Pirlo is leaving (still cant see it happening), can one of the bench midfielders immediately step in his position?
Love the idea of getting Berardi back to the club, have a good feeling about this player...I reckon he can be something for us.
Concerns over Menez and Nani...one on a free isn't so bad but spending big dollars for Juve on Nani is a risk. We need to look at a player who can make a difference if we are going to compete with the best in Europe...we need a Mata type of player. Tevez, Mata and Llorente suddenly sounds world class.
