So, here we are. My wishes are reduced to the minimum: another fullback who can play on the right side, a world class midfielder or no midfielder at all and a whole new medical team. The last one should be mandatory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

I don't know about De Rosso han but that Roma vice-captain isn't bad! (OMG it's the acid virus!!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think Galliani will do some nice deals in the summer. Teams like Man City, Real, Chelsea are always ripe with quality rejects ready to be rejuvenated. An attacking midfielder is a must. But maybe someone with different qualities than Kaka. Someone more powerful that Allegri can work with. Inter are having problems with Snejider. Maybe he can be an option. My ideal buys would be lesser known, but quality players who have the confidence part down. No more Gourcuffs and Merkels. I think Nuri Sahin would be a fan-f@cking-tastic acquisition. I think the Bundesliga is a great place to look for talent too. It's impressive that Bayern are not a selling club, but they are truly ripe with talent right now. Maybe look at other teams there. I'm also tired of seeing so many Brazilians come our way. I wanna see us mix it up a bit. Go for some Eastern European talents maybe.

I think we are good in the GK department. If not Abbiati, Amelia. Both great keepers any big team would lucky to have in this day and age were superstar keepers are on the brink of extinction.

In defense I wanna wait and see how Mesbah does in the LB department. But I think, between him and Emanuelson, we are decent enough. I want Antonini out. I would prefer to let Bonera go and buy a more solid CB that can slowly take the 3rd CB position from Mexes while he gradually replaces Nesta. I don't know if Nesta will renew, but I hope he does. He seems capable. I don't know if others agree, but I see Nesta as the last great defender. Costacurta, Maldini and him have been mystical to say the least. I don't think their techniques have been understood by other aspiring defenders around the world and they are at the brink of extinction too it seems. I view Baresi and Silva more in the same mold in that, determination and grit are their main arsenal against attackers rather than technique and, for a lack of a better term, mystical tactical understanding of the game.

In midfield... Oh dear. Where do I start? I want Ambrosini, Gattuso, Flamini, and Seedorf out. No apologies. Goddamn that's a bit scary but also exciting. So that will leave us with: (assuming we decide to keep Starsser, Merkel and Van Bommel)

Aquilani, Boateng, Emanuelson, Nocerino, Van Bommel, Merkel Starasser.

Very very thin.
My dream signings: Sahin, De Rossi (One can dream) and another couple of quality but lesser known players.

In attack, I would sell Pato and let Inzaghi retire or leave. I don't think we'll keep Maxi. That will leave us with: El Shaarawy, Cassano, Ibra and Robinho.

A possible fantastic signing could be Olivier Giroud of Montpellier.

I would also start a very serious task force to tackle the injury issues.

Here's my 12-13 formation:

Abbiati
Abate Nesta Silva Mesbah
De Rossi Nocerino
Boateng Sahin
Cassano
Ibrahimovic
