Still optimistic.
A midfield of Montolivo, Boateng, Ambrosini, Flamini, Nocerino, Muntari (I think he did well), Constant and an attack of Ibra, Cassano, Pato, SES, Robinho and Cassano is very good.
Hopefully we give Vila a chance that he deserves. We have also added Acerbi, who had a great season. T. Silva was renewed which was massive. T. Silva, Acerbi, Mexes, Vila is a great defence.
I am looking forward to this season--the only thing that worries me are injuries. Sure our squad is not 100% complete, but it is a very good, competitive squad that has the big advantage of continuity.
We will definitely be challenging for the Scudetto, and I also think we will have a say in the CL. With a little bit of luck we could play the semis, and then who knows what can happen.
Finally, I still think we will sign about 2 players before August 31.
We simply cannot spend a lot until we increase our revenue. We are in reasonably good shape for FFP (at least for the first little while) if we sell Robinho and bring in someone like Destro. We have offloaded a lot of salaries as well: Seedorf, Nesta, Inzaghi, Roma, Gattuso... Even though we gave Silva an increase (that he deserves), we will be better off I think in terms of salaries. I haven't done the math, but it appears so--I could be wrong.
Gone are the days of spending a ton, but that's fine. You also build a team incrementally and gradually.
Remember, this team mucked up the Scudetto in a week. God willing, that will not happen again.
Also, we got rid of a lot of players that were constantly being abused as freeloaders, slow etc. I ask you this...is our team better than last season? I'd say yes.
