I was thinking about the possibility of getting Berardi this season, and I'd actually be pretty good and realistic idea IMO.
If we sell Vucinic, Quagliarella and Giovinco, and get Osvaldo (permanently), Berardi and a cheap/sub winger like Ménez per example. This would allow us to use either a 4-3-3 and 3-5-2, and have enough rotation/playing time for our strikers.
Tévez-Llorente
Berardi-Osvaldo
Berardi-Llorente-Tévez
Ménez-Osvaldo-Berardi/Tévez
I don't think it would be a problem having Berardi in the right or that we would lack deepness in that side since he has a fantastic right foot anyway, his and Tevez's workrate would give us a different dimension from a lot of European clubs. The only problem is if he can handle the pressure, we can't allow us another fail in CL.
