In terms of transfers, I'm personally expecting another midfielder who can cover for De Jong and a CB. Kucka and Astori are the obvious choices obviously, but Astori will cost too much and he's not really worth spending a huge fee on. If nothing else he'd only be a reliable backup for Mexes/Zapata.
Also, I'm expecting some exits as well. Maybe Niang (hopefully the Kucka swap deal happens), atm there's absolutely no room for him (thank God), maybe Nocerino and Zaccardo as well will be out
So
In: Kucka, CB, Honda Out: Niang, Zaccardo, Nocerino
I think doing this would improve the squad considerably

QUOTE (dst @ Sep 4 2013, 07:02 PM) Was Nocerino that bad last season? Yes, he was, I personally thought it was a combination of lack of form and having to play without Ibra. But even if he's not going to score 10 goals a season without Ibra the fact is he'd played below par all season long and it doesn't look to have improved. I'd personally rather heep him then a Muntari but Allegri obviously prefers the latter so it's pointless, and I think we can bring in a decent sum for Nocerino

QUOTE (CHU-LIP @ Sep 5 2013, 12:09 AM) OMG han wants Nocerino out ?!?!??!!? Like I said, I'd rather Muntari be the one to GTFO, but seeing as he' Allegri's secret love child and that Nocerino would actually bring us a decent sum as he's still very highly regarded then Nocerino would be the better option to sell.

QUOTE (acid911 @ Sep 5 2013, 03:08 PM) Yeah, the midfield is taken care of, now only if our coach had some vision and creativity. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I think we're one really good CM away from having the midfield taken care of. Plus should any one of Monto or De Jong get injured we're in deeper sh!t than we were last season when we lost De Jong. Don't forget, there's no Flamini or Ambro this season. Only Muntari and Nocerino are reliable options to take over and even those 2 aren't really pure DMs

Oh yeah, true, I was talking more in creativity terms. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) While I do think a midfield of Montolivo, Honda, Kaka, Poli, Saponara is highly creative, guys like De Jong and Nocerino (hopefully he stays and picks up his game) can take care of guard duties. Balotelli also has that touch of creativity, and with Abate and DeScig, goal scoring at will ought not be a problem. And that's even without throwing Shaarawy into the mix, who granted is not creative or creates, but is a good finisher. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Only part of the puzzle that remains is Allegri. To him I say, man up or man out! But overall, in terms of creative potential this midfield is miles ahead of the dry seasons of Ambrosini, Flamini, De Jong, Nocerino, Boateng, Gattuso and then Muntari. More than two of these guys should never have played together, if were were planning to outscore oppositions. And guess what, when they did, we did not.
