Sometimes on the Mercato thread you see people wanting a Robinho-Torres Swap, buying Hernanes, Honda, Ganso, & Sandro all at once, and so many people wanting strikers when we already have... 6!
What I take from the forum is a general consensus of 2 things:
* Our Midfield has aged and needs to be replaced, with at least 1 World Class, dynamic, attacking midfielder.
* Pato's injuries are concerning, and after a few years of this, perhaps soon will be the time for the bigger conversation
Now everyone and their mother has solutions to these 2 problems, but the good thing is that we've basically nailed down what the problems are. I have been a huge supporter of PATO but rather down on our midfield for quite some time. I may throw my two sense in here or there but the bottom line is it's up to Galliani and his team to come up with a solution for these problems. Pato's issue can be resolved over the next year or two, while the midfield issue must be resolved NOW. There is no pushing that back any longer....
