Yeah, but where would they play? IMO, we shouldnt spend so much money so that one of them can stay on the bench. The only way the 3 of them could play together, along with Zambrotta, is if we played with just one striker (because Capello plays with 2 defensive mids)
------------Trezeguet----------------
--------------Nedved---------------
---Cesar Emerson Blasi Zambrotta---
Jankulovski Thuram Legrottaglie Oddo
----------------Buffon--------------------
This, IMO, is a good tactic, Trez should have plenty of crosses, but I doubt that Capello would play with just one striker, with DP and Mico and Zala on the bench, and I also doubt he'd play Emerson in centre mid alone. Therefore, I dont see Cesar, Janku and Oddo coexisting together, and i doubt Moggi would buy any one of the just to put him on the bench.

Alessandro Del Piero believes all is not lost in their Champions’ League quest, but Juve’s setback forces the club into some major transfer moves.
“It was a strange match and took us by surprise,” confessed the Bianconeri captain after their shock 2-2 draw with Swedes Djurgarden. “We have the chance to turn this situation around.”
Juventus must now win in Sweden – or play out a high-scoring draw – in two weeks’ time if they are to qualify for the competition proper.
“Djurgarden are in better physical shape than us and it showed. The rain didn’t help either, as during our best form of the game it started to pour down and it became impossible to control the ball.”
“But we cannot blame the weather or our fitness levels,” concluded the captain. “Quite simply, we need to work hard and believe in ourselves.”
The Bianconeri are at least not lacking in character after fighting back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2, but this performance only confirms the doubts many fans had over the summer.
A selection of new signings are expected over the next few weeks, with negotiations already in place for Lazio’s Massimo Oddo, Cesar and Udinese midfielder Marek Jankulovski.
The particularly poor showing in defence has also pushed the club into reviving its interest in Inter man Fabio Cannavaro. The Azzurri captain has struggled during his spell at the San Siro and would relish the opportunity to work with Fabio Capello, who had also requested him at Roma.
There are also precious few options upfront following Marco Di Vaio’s sale to Valencia, so it is reported Juventus are making a bid for Udinese hitman Vincenzo Iaquinta. The club would prefer taking the 25-year-old on loan with the option to buy at the end of the season for £2m, perhaps including Marcelo Zalayeta in a swap deal.
Director General Luciano Moggi has been accused of ‘penny-pinching’ by the Italian press this summer, but the Juventus coffers are not as full as they once were. This morning the shareholders’ meeting closed the 2003-04 accounts with losses of £11.4m. Last year the Bianconeri ended the campaign with profits of £1.4m.
