Summer Mercato 2011

[Siregar]

I don't see the reasons there why Pirlo can't be the man who will guide us to the CL tittle. What kind of requirement of a creative midfielder regarding number of runs made? He is getting old, I agree but he is not 35 years old. He was born 1979. He can still play 1-2 years as starter for the spot of creative midfielder since his advantage is not his physical attribute (not like Seedorf who needs that attribute). Ah yeah, Pirlo's run or generally defensive ability has been underrated since he played for the first time as deep-lying playmaker. People only see that he is not a strong player physically, easy to hit by opponent's DM and some kind of those stuffs. There were already statistics to deny all judge that he has so bad defensive abilities.

I agree with Ca Rossonero, Pirlo needs other creative player(s) and let Pirlo have free role like he showed us before he got injured at the end of last year. Knowing the fact that he is not a DM or a young Seedorf, we should also buy a quality left-fullback. We have now Bommel who doesn't go forward often and can cover space left by Pirlo but still without any reliable fullback we will be weak on the left side.

From Pirlo, Ambrosini and Seedorf, I will take Pirlo as soon as possible for contract' extension but I agree that he couldn't ask 6 mil euro per year for the new contract. He has only limited years ahead of him as starter.
