Our squad is more or less complete for the first time in quite a while. Although I would still offload Kalac and Dida to make room for a young up and coming keeper, do something about Brocchi, emerson and Favalli (terminate their contracts), and loan out Paloschi and Darmian...It's safe to say we had a very decent transfer campaign.
W got rid of most of our dead wood; Simic, Cafu, Serginho, Gilardino and we loaned out Gourcuff and Digao to gain experience.
We then signed 10 players to add depth, and many of them pushing out some starters out of our starting XI. Those 10 players are all capable of contributing to the squad and are all better replacements then what we had last season. Kaka' said we needed a squad of 25 high level players if we were to compete on all fronts this year, and that's exactly what we got.
We signed: Flamini, Abiatti, Antonini, Boriello, Zambrotta, Ronaldinho, Viudez, Cardaccio, Shevchanko, Senderos.
That right there is one hell of a transfer campaign. I always tell people that a World Class team needs a certain quota of players for each position.
3 GK
2 LB
2 RB
5 CB
5 DM
3 AM
3 CF
2 ST
guess what? we have that for the first time since...the Capello era for crying out loud! We even exceed that quota as a matter of fact
(in pecking order)
GK: Abiatti, Dida, Kalac
LB: Jankulovski, Favalli, Antonini
RB: Zambrotta, Oddo
CB: Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini, Bonera, Senderos, Darmian
DM: Pirlo, Flamini, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Emerson, Brocchi
AM: Kaka', Ronaldinho, Seedorf, Viudez, Cardaccio
ST: Pato
CF: Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Boriello, Paloschi
We have a 30 man squad that is very competitive and can definitely fight on 3 different fronts this year. we added depth, quality and many more options.
