Also, the apparently weak defence of last season was one of the best in Serie A (statistically), and that was with a number of players injured all through season (again, the reason is what the article fails to mention). In fact, our weakest area was in Midfield as we didn't have the stability we had in the past (Seedorf was a stable player in deeper midfield and we always had superior talent to Brocchi on the bench), and Emerson has been signed to toughen the area up.
I'm not getting my hopes up too much now on new signings. We could make the odd signing (including R10, especially as he's finally getting EU), but nothing is sure at all as far as i'm concerned.
I also think management see R99 and Oddo as new signings, as last season they had to assimilate very quickly into the side and never could perform at their best due to little preparation. This season, they're getting a proper preseason (despite R99 current injury), and so should be in top shape and properly settled for the upcoming season.
