Summer mercato 2012

[Hasan Rossonero]

T. Silva was one of the best defenders in circulation. No doubt we lost a crucial part of our team.

However, he was a bit overrated. 47 million euros is madness for a defender, no matter how good. I think if we get Astori I'd be okay with the departure. Still hurts, but okay.

We picked him from Fluminese after he had endured a horrible time at Porto and Dynamo Moscow. What's to say we can't unearth another player in a similar way?

I want to see how Acerbi performs. I am all for an Italian line-up of players. Young and solid Italian players that is.

I don't think it was coincedence that Italy played the FInal of Euro2012. Italian players are still, IMO, amongst the best in the world and they have been schooled with the right mentality. I find it laughable when people say that Italy reaching the Final was luck. Not here, but I have heard it being said.

Sell Robinho buy Destro.
Sell Ibra buy Dzeko
Sell Silva buy Astori/Ogbonna


Bring on the new era, sono pronto.
