QUOTE (X-Offender @ Apr 2 2012, 05:33 PM)  Cassano will be available only for the last three Serie A games. He needs at least a month's work to regain match fitness, and lose those 2-3 kilos he's gained from inactivity. I read somewhere that he'll be ready for the Fiorentina game... |

Hey, I didn't claim that. I just posted what the article mentioned.

QUOTE Cassano might become available for the match against Fiorentina. Something tells me it'll be a slow, overweight and totally unfit version of him though. |

Well, he did light training and runs for a while now. I don't think he will be too much overweight.
He played in the training game vs the primavera today. (IMG:http://a.yfrog.com/img808/4033/63onu.jpg) |

Can't wait to see him back in the game.
This season has been cursed for us. Besides the injury plague, what happened with Cassano and Pato was a major blow. We lost half of our attacking strength. Can't imagine how things would have been if they'd been available for most of the season, especially Cassano. |

Cassano is still on the top half of the assists charts now when the season is about to end. Says enough. We've managed without Pato because Zlatan has had an immense season not to mention our mids contributing a lot of goals. Last season the goals from our strikers were the most crucial while this season it's been a different case |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Ibra and Robinho played much more than him last year. Not that I am discriminating between the contribution of our three forwards in last season's Scudetto win. Just saying. |

Pato is the best finisher we have while Robinho and Ibra are better in build-up and movement. |

Exactly, and that's why I believe he should be played upfront, with both Ibra and Robinho back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Boateng further down in the midfield where he can do the running along with Nocerino. And a quality AM if we can find right between the eyes. Of course, you are free to swap Robinho with Tevez anytime you like, but that's that. |

I don't like us playing with three forwards. It's never been in our DNA. When we applied that formula under Leo it was a disastrous season. Even when we did it this season (first half vs Lecce and against Arsenal) we played like crap and conceded a lot. No, what we need is a quality AM to play behind the two strikers, a strong and creative DM, and two quality runners on the sides, which we already have in Boateng and Nocerino.
