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 think we can all agree that we need an improvement at AM, CDM, CB (depth), and overall depth in midfield.

AM

I think that management will push hard for Tevez in summer with some of the funds from Pato's possible sale. Management may also opt for Boatang playing there as a starter. I do honestly believe that El Sharaawy should be given a chance to compete for the role as is starting to grow into something most fans can get excited about.

Internal options: Boatang, El Sharaawy, Robinho, Cassano, Ibra, Seedorf, Merkel

Of these options i think robinho and El Sha should be the main options. SES, as i have wrote, is developing into a player that could offer pace, dribbling, vision, a good shot, and great technical ability. Having won a personal accolade at 19 for being Serie B's best player is no small feat, especially when many people consider Serie B to be the elite second division in europe. I personally rate merkel, but i would throw him at genoa if it meant us getting SES on full ownership.

Robinho, as i have been saying since we signed him is simply not a Serie A forward. he is arguably the most wasteful striker i have ever seen (taking into account all youth competitive setups i've been a part of). he is so useless in front of goal, as any else then a milan fan, i would surely piss myself watching his epic clumsiness. He does however, in a team of bronze statues, offer pace. were we a little more in tune with modern-day football, we would not need to keep him on account of him being 1 of the 3-4 people on the team who run on this team. I'm ALLLLL for selling him to a Malaga-type oil rich team wanting to fill the seats. Sadly, i do not see that happening, so i would then move him to AM as i want him comfortably away from the opposing net, while still attacking.

External options (it's nearly impossible to predict the state of the market in 5 months time, but i will ltry) Tevez, Martin, Belhandra, Eriksen...

I think we would all enjoy seeing tevez and Ibra with the ever-compatible genius of Cassano (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . My personal choice would be Martin, he is oozing with class and after this summer, he will be outside of our price range. I heard on canal+ sport that we were pursuing him and although he is extremely talented, he lacks vision and tries to go 1v1 too often.
