Banter 2009/2010

Signing Mancini permanently would be a very poor decision. Hopefully it's just a rumour.

Fb -(the best will be scouting a cheap prospect) 5-10 mi max.

This is very realistic,very doable even for our stingy management

With 50 mil investment we can challenge for the scudetto for sure,even Cl if we are a bit lucky with injuries. Plus take in consideration that Dida,Kala,Favalli,Janku, Hunter most probably will be gone, so we cut a lot form the wage budget. The new comers should/will not earn 4 mil like Dida and Kaladze.

We can have this for next year

---------------------Abbiati/storari----------------------
Antonini/Abate --Nesta/bonera-T.S/godin--Tremulinas/Zambro

-----------Flamini/ambro------Simplicio/rinho/strasser------
----------------------Hernanes/pirlo------------

----------Pato/mancini----------------Dinho/De Vito/Seedorf-------
---------------------Dzeko/borriello/Paloschi-------------

What we have done?

We have ourself a great Box-to-Box midfilder(replacing seedorf) , we have a creative midfielder in Hernanes replacing Pirlo. We have our big CF in Dzeko, plus we have the FB we are waiting for so long. In winter we can address the CD problem properly and in summer find a replacement for Dinho. and the rebuilding is done.

Just a general question, but how good is Tremoulinas as I've never seen him. A youtube video of him would be nice if anyone knows of one.

I would play Pirlo ahead of Simplicio (who imo is a good squad player) in that lineup. Hernanes helps out defensively much more than Seedorf, so our midfield would be better balanced than it is now.
