Asenjo? Probably a rumour. He's touted the next Cassillas. I highly doubt athletico madrid will sell him as they paid 6m for him when we has at Valladolid.

i think viviano(bologna) should get a look at the this summer, as he has been fantastic!

not possible.

He's 24 and Inter Co-own him. He'll be Cesar's replacement in the future.

Ballotelli is good and after that incedent at the TV- Show
Mourinho is, well pretty mad and Silvio Berlusconi are saying Ballotelli
looks like a Rossoneri .
Buffon is my favorite goalkeeper and Juventus is probably going to sell him
but even if Milan buy him, I think it would'nt to no use.. How long can he stay in fit?

I don't know exactly who we should sign ... but I think I know who we should keep and who we sould fire.

For the next 2-3 years max

We should keep:

Starters (unless we get better players):
Ronaldhino
Pato
Thiago Silva
Nesta
Huntelaar
Pirlo
(I'm expecting Pato to play up front with Huntelaar)

Bench:
Abbiati
Antonini
Zambrotta
Flamini
Ambrosini
Adiyiah

EVERYBODY ELSE .... FIRED!!!

Get somebody goood for the right flank ... midfielder and defense ... on this side of the field we TOTALLY SUCK!!!

[Fishdoll]

I'd ship Huntelaar out too. Scoring at Ajax is not the same as scoring anywhere else. And I'd keep Borriello.

[Bluesummers]

I'd ship em both out. Their scoring record is an absolute joke when compared to strikers from other top teams.

[Protagonist]

Summer is going to come and go, we'll still have the same squad, plus Yepes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Silvio hahaha

[Zed.D]

I personally hope the Emirates buys out the club and take us back to the top cause quite honestly I can't see Silvio and co doing it...

EVERYBODY ELSE .... FIRED!!!

I personally hate the idea of us buying talent like Madrid. Personally when it comes to transfers, I've felt few people can compete with SAF and Man Utd.

But what we need are some serious options to suit some tactic other than the 4-3-3. I wanted Dzeko coz he's a wildcard of a forward...can play anywhere, including inside the box.

We desperately need a CB. I don't know if Bonera and Onyewu are good enough, but they're injured so we can't tell. Trouble if we buy one, is that if these two come good, we've wasted money and wages.

Anyway my definite outs:

Jankulovski (he wants out too)
Oddo (I like him, but he's dropped down to mid-tier quality)
Kaladze (choose a reason, any reason)
Di Gennaro (plays decent for Livorno, looks like a late bloomer, we don't have time)

My ins:

CF: Dzeko/Zlatan; (I still have hope for Raiola's meeting in Milan!)
AM: Di Maria/ Silva; (Two creative geniuses who can play on either wing as well as the hole)
CB: Mexes/Astori (expensive stalwart, or untried buck)
FB: Rafinha/Lahm

Still unsure about the CB thing. Coz if Nesta is fit, it's just not possible to keep one of Mexes/Silva on the bench...though it's conceivable like Pana said to push Silva to RB. But don't know if we're wasting a top class DB pairing.

As is traditional, none of my transfer targets are ever purchased....so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I think both Mexes and Rafinha are out of contract this summer.

Among our strikers, I don't know who to drop. If we get one of Zlatan/Dzeko, then Borriello becomes a bit redundant. Milan selling Pippo will never happen. And KJH is too good a poacher to be sold without a proper trial.


What I'm more interested in, is in us, bring up some primavera. Perhaps Adiyiah and Albertazzi.

So my squad would be:

Defence:

Antonini, Zambrotta, Lahm/Rafinha, Bonera, Silva, Nesta, Onyewu, Yepes, Astori

Mid-field:

Silva/Di Maria; Seedorf; Pirlo; Ambro; Abate; Flamini; Rino; Strasser
Di Maria


Forwards:

R80, Pato, Dzeko/Zlatan, KJH, Pippo, Adiyiah;


The formation options with this squad:

4-3-3/4-3-2-1/4-3-1-2/4-2-2-2 etc...

Total outlay: 50 million.
Total Incoming: 10 million.

Time to sell a few more co-ownerships....or if worst comes to worst...

Sell KJH and Pirlo to bring in another 25-30 million pounds. Get D'Agostino instead.

[Zed.D]

Who's Silva the AM?

Still unsure about the CB thing. Coz if Nesta is fit, it's just not possible to keep one of Mexes/Silva on the bench...though it's conceivable like Pana said to push Silva to RB. But don't know if we're wasting a top class DB pairing.

This is a great solution, kudos to Pana. we should do a Ramos to Silva. push him to the right and use him as a CB in emergencies. I think he can do well in the right.

I still don't get what you guys see in Huntelaar. He just isn't working out and, well, we don't have time to wait around. He should go too.

And, as previously stated, we should get a coach who is capable of changing tactics.

Currently, not much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) it's about his potential. we gave like 873685764385 chances to Borriello to become the not so special player he is now, why not give Hunter at least one more chance - one more season? when Pippo retires (and we're talking about a 36yo striker) we need to have a poacher in the squad. it just doesn't hurt to have Hunter on bench IMO. we got him for cheap and his salaries shouldn't by sky high unlike some. I'd give him another season... but if we need to sell him to get Dzeko, it's fine by me. I don't care about him THAT much.

[Jack Sparrow]

+1. At this moment, he is definitely one of the top goal poachers in the world. Give him one more season, same as we did with Gila. Except this time it's the reverse...we give a team that suits him.

As for T.Silva, not sure about the players own interest. And yup..the other Silva is the bloke from Valencia.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) You live in cloud cuckoo land don't you? we can never afford Silva. I'd go for Di Maria instead - he looks really interesting. except that he's got Argie cooties... not sure if he will be even considered by our glorious mgmt.
