He hasn't been able to score to save his life...

Niang or Paloschi?

Both actually now that you mention it.

At least, Paloschi can. Score. A. Goal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Niang probably is paid not to.

I don't see how any other coach aside from Allegri would give Niang any time of day.

Personally I think it would be pointless to bring Palo back.

We have Pazzini and Balo for that position. What we need is another creative mid in the Monto role a proper winger and an attacking mid.

If we do switch coach there is no guarantee that we'll be playing 4-3-3, but most coaches tend to go for a variation of a 4-2-3-1 these days so I think we should seriously think about investing in a proper winger.

Aside from that bringing in a proper CB to partner Mexes is a must

Pointless? I don't know man, Balo get's his suspension every now and then, while Pazzini gets injured rather frequently. I'd rather we have a backup, and Paloschi should be the one, not some reject has-been.

I don't recall Pazzini getting injured that frequently this season.

Also, let's not forget that we have SES and imo next season he cannot be played on the wing anymore. I think we should consider him as much a striker as the other 2

What we need is creative players, both for midfield and attack, no more 1 dimensional players who know nothing but to run around kicking at the ball with no thought. What's the point of bringing in someone like Paloschi?

It means concentrating our funds to more dire positions. Instead of searching for a third option for Pazzo (remember also that Balo isn't a prima punta, at least not a true PP), we bring back our own guy, test him and make a verdict - keep or sell.

But that's the thing, you'd be buying someone for a position where we're already heavily covered imo. Let's not forget that Palo is on a co-own deal, thus heaving to buy back the half owned by Chievo. And let's also not forget how we got ripped off for Boriello in a similar deal.

This summer, midfield and CB should be the most important areas to concentrate on. Making frivolous buys in attack would be typical for us but I'm seriously hoping that someone sane in that board room will try to dissuade Silvio and Galliani from once again going down that road

Midfield, mostly. It's in utter shambles.

CB imo is just as high. If you really think about it, our only really good CB is Mexes. Zapata isn't even our player technically speaking.

The others are all just terrible or not even given the time of day so we can't assess if they're good or bad

Italy just beat England 1-0 in their fisrt group game with Insigne's free kick.

England U21s conceded a goal? I find this very hard to believe.

Truly a miracle, I pinched myself when it happened.
