Summer Mercato 2016

[GeoTav]

Our managment has already "done" majority of work for the next season
Our backs are complete. We have 3 extraordinary men on that position already and we're going to sign Vangoni(or whatever his name is). That's done. For the rest of defence we'll buy from the team which have the largest number of world class players (that's right folks,it's Genoa) .Izzo should fit into that vision perfectly. So,our defence is completed now.
Our attacking line. We're going to sold Adriano by any price(even better if it would be possible to give him on some kind of loan(Gaiani's loans),so that his new team can screw us,and send him back before they give us rest of the money).And like that ,over and over,let's say,till he's 33.Than we'll send him to Brasil for 120 000$. His replacement will be - Pavoleti (because it's Genoa,team with largest number...)Of course,we'll also buy Crapotelli from L'pool.That's makes our attacking line completed.
Awwww,now midfield. It's quite good right now,actualy. Extended contracts to Montolivo and Boateng should be enough and about new players we'll see. We'll see what Genoa have on those positions,if not-we will not rush into signing of any unproven players ,like ElGhazy.Maybe we should bring Witsel in 2017,when his contract expires,who knows...

Anybody else wanna cry???

I'm not that pessimistic !

IMO, next year, our team will look this way :
- Donna as #1GK, then Diego Lopez if we don't sell him, or Abbiati
- Abate/DS on the right flank, Antonelli/Vangioni (hum ?) on the left flank + Calabria for both flanks (I hope we'll keep him and will even give him more time this season)
- Romagnoli and maybe Alex are the only ones to be sure to stay ... If Zapata keeps playing correctly, he could also stay as a backup. That means we need 2 CD (Mammana for example + someone from Genoa or from our Primavera ?). I don't count Ely, he should be loaned.
- Bonaventura, Montolivo, Bertolacci and Kucka are IMO sure to stay, as well as Honda now. Poli can stay as a backup, as well as some Primavera player like Locatelli. We'll definitely need another midfielder (given the performances of Bertolacci, a new CM is needed), and probably some backup for Bona/Honda.
- For our attack, we should probably let Balotelli go back to Liverpool and will probably sell Luiz Adriano unless he shows our management and coach that they're wrong to let him go. That leaves us with Bacca, Niang and Menez. At this point, we would need a new striker (El Sharaawy as 4th choice ?) and maybe should promote someone from the Primavera.

If Diego Lopez is sold, we'll need a backup GK with a good level but who will accept to see Donna play most of the time.

Actually, I'm quite optimistic, because with some good (and smart) choices, we could have a better team next year, and no more a 30+ men squad. Finally back to a decent amount of players.
