Giovinco is the one who'll take us to the next level.
Too optimistic ? Perhaps, but everything points out to Giovinco becomming the new star of our team and of world's football. Our game will depend on him mostly and all we'll need is a strong group around Giovinco.
Buying players like vdV will be useless at the moment. We'll take a gamble with Giovinco (if it's a gamble at all, considering how good Gio is) and we'll add team players.
Our first team was pretty good. We've beaten Milan, Inter, Roma and they couldn't beat us. We lack consistency and that's because the gap between our first team and our reserves was pretty big. When Mancini was resting his best players, or when they were injured, he always had good players on the bench to replace them. That's why Inter had more pts than us. Ranieri couldn't do that and he either had below average players to work with or he had to overplay our best players.
Now we need to replace players like Almiron, Molinaro, Legrotagllie, Tiago, Palladino, Nocerino with better players (but not 30m eur worth superstars), players like Amauri, Alonso, Grosso and i think we're ready to go.
Having Zanetti, Amauri, Nedved and similar players on the bench will make us much stronger because the bench plays a huge role in long championships.
