Armando: Patrick Helmes, Andriy Voronin = SHIT. Kiessling would be a gamble, could turn out good, he’s a big boy and very good physically. The rest you got mostly good points.

alex, you really saying you don’t think Sissoko is Juventus quality ? Jezus, the guy has played with us for over 1.5 years now and almost every match, he has been a beast in midfield, going for every ball and adding some grinta. He has made a few errors, but you are too easily forgetting that he is also a player with an incredible growing-margin. Without any doubt he is one of the best midfielders in our team. His perfomances in black and white speak for itself. Just a few things he has to filter out of his game like bycicle kicks in the area for instance, and he will be great, once again.

I think these would be some good moves in the upcoming transfer markets:

-Sell Poulsen, Molinaro, Almiron, one of our many right backs, and one of our many strikers. And let Caceres go back to Barca on loan at the end of the season unless he really has a breakout season. Possibly sell De Ceglie and Tiago too, depending on how this season goes for them.

-Buy a great right back (Christian Maggio, Philipp Lahm, or Andreas Beck), a great striker (Patrick Helmes, Mauro Zarate, Stefan Kiessling, or Andriy Voronin), and most importantly, a CREATIVE MIDFIELDER.

Fact is, we all know about Camo’s injury problems, and when Camo is injured or not playing, we’re sometimes just too predictable in midfield, though if Diego’s there then we’re definitely NOT predictable, but still, what if theyre both out? Nedved’s gone now, and Camo and ADP still have a while, but are eventually gonna need a replacement. ADP has one up and coming with Giovinco, and i think a perfect one for Camo would be Marko Marin. The kid is amazing, Messi-like even. What do you think?

Alessio, I just spotted a boo-boo: the link on ‘Inter’ points to the Lazio Offside. Now I know you don’t like us, but…

No, Pandev is a quality player, but he is (as Alessio pointed out) Juventus quality. From an economic/performance standpoint, he would be a terrific buy next summer. However, we have Trezeguet (he won’t leave if he has a good year), Iaquinta, Amauri, ADP, and Giovinco. I will repeat what other repeatedly have mentioned here, we need to invest in defense.

I’d say “Yes, next summer”, from an economical point of view. He is good enough to be re-sold in one year for at least 10 mil (15 if he actually plays and have a fairly good season). So we will pay him like 3 mil per year, spend nothing on him and re-sell him for 15 mil. I could live with that.

What we should actually do in Juanuary is buy Giovinco. Or just pretend to. We could spend 5 mil in re-buying Giovinco as a striker instead of a midfielder, so everybody will be happy:
- We will buy the striker we need.
- Giovinco will play (since we are spending money on him, so he have to play).
- And we will be spending the money everybody wants to spend even if we don’t need to. Juve could even give ME the money, since it was my idea :p

If there’s one player I’d pick from Roma it’d be De Rossi. But we all know it’s never going to happen. DailyMail is tabloids, it’s international week, etc. He would leave Serie A if he left Roma, I think.

yet you defended molinaro and sissoko more than a few times? hmmmm

Look, they are on the team. And they are not as bad as people generally make them out to be, especially Sissoko. Would I sign Molinaro if I knew how he played? No. Sissoko? Maybe. There’s a big difference between “Gee, Poulsen played pretty good against Livorno” and “Yes, I think he is Juventus quality.” You’re inferring they are the same, they are not.
