Buy Santacroce and use him as RB this year and replace Canna next year.

Buy D’Agostino

Buy Grosso (2-4m) and bring back Criscito next year

Buy Huntelaar (15m?)if we let Treze (10m?)leave

Sell Marchionni, Grygera, Almiron, Poulsen, Treze?
and we are still within our budget

Also, we should concentrate on fullbacks, specifically Christian Maggio is the best choice by far in my opinion, Santacroce and Beck are good too though, but not quite as good. Santacroce can play in the center of defense too, but still needs to be disciplined a bit, and when he plays as fullback hes more reserved than Maggio, which is bad because we need very attacking fullbacks with the lack of wingers. And Maggio is flatout better then Beck.

How about forget about D’Agostino and a central midfielder altogether. I would personally love to have one of the germans i mentioned before or others as well, but it’s really not needed. We could already have a great, Barcelona-style midfield if we wanted to. Just use Marchisio as a regista, which he performed well as when needed to, such as at the end of the season, grabbing one of two assists as well as a goal in the last two games of the season. Sissoko’s then the ball-winner, and Camo is an extra, deeper attacking midfielder who can track back whenever needed. Think of it like this:

A 4-3-1-2:

—————Buffon
Maggio–Cannavaro–Chiellini–Brazzo
—Camoranesi–Sissoko–Marchisio
—————Diego
———Del Piero–Amauri

Buffon = Valdes
Maggio = Alves
Cannavaro = Puyol
Chiellini = Pique
Brazzo = Sylvinho
Camoranesi = Iniesta
Sissoko = Toure
Marchisio = Xavi
Diego = Henry
Del Piero = Messi
Amauri = Eto’o

And just for fun:
Manninger = Pinto
Molinaro = Abidal
Legrottaglie = Marquez
Poulsen = Busquets
Tiago = Gudjohnsen
Zanetti = Keita
Giovinco = Bojan

I’d say it works.

I’d sell marco, trez and zaneti(too injury prone) but keep tiago(he could be a useful player), I’d ask ferra to consider chielleni as a left back(i think it’s easier to a world class centre back than a world class left back)
Signings:LEFT BACK – Grosso/Heinze/Balzzerati/Filipe(Depor)/Cissokho(steal him before milan does)

CENTRAL DEFENDER – Fazio/Zapata/M. Richards(man city)/Onuoha(man city)

I certainly would sell moore if possible…
zebina , molinaro ,poulsen ,zanetti, marchionni, and trez.

swap marchionni+cash for melo
swap trez+ cash for huntelaar en diarra.
criscito and santos for lb
someone for rb.
juve will winn everything next year!
for controling , defensive, and central midfielders we have camoranesi , marchisio ,melo diarra and tiago(5 quality men for 3 positions)
offensive midfield diego ,giovinco( camo if neccecary)
strrikers :iaquinta amauri huntelaar)

I think Giovinco is a great player however he is a little small and can get muscled off the ball easily by stronger opossition. If you see Leo Messi he is also very small (although I would say more solid than Gio) but he plays in a team that protects him when he is with the ball and opens up spaces for him to run. Gio needs to work on his strength before becoming a regular starter, if he does he can be our new superstar.

There’s a good point about Ferrara. How much does he really know about the champagne end of things? No question he can get the business end of our defense up and running again, but I wonder what he can do for us upfront tactically? I’m gonna keep an eye on who he’s named for his technical staff.

after watching him for the under 21 side over the last year i just feel giovinco deserves to start. i still believe he can play next to a targetman in a 4-3-1-2 with diego being the one. giovinco always darts off to the left anway then cuts in, in a 4-3-1-2 he could draw defenders out and then either cut in, pass to diego or chip in a nice ball for the striker.

ferrara has to get diego and seba playing together and then you will see champagne football
