GK: Abbiati (34), MArchetti (28), Roma (80)


This is most realistic mercato I can come up with. Bocchetti has stated he's unhappy in Russia, regrets leaving italy and wants to come back to earn back his NT spot. I still think Poli is natural heir at

I'd rather have a CAM with movement and trickery like Nasri. Him + Robinho is a nightmare for defenders. Lamela's potential is insane but if he comes and is asked to start he might fail.

I don't really have a problem with both seedorf and pirlo coming back on lower wages and rotating one spot. The problem is when they play together. But when one plays with Boateng and anchor our midfield looks very good and complete. Obviously if we can get hernanes or Sahin, one can leave, but if we can't I'd rather not lose the class we have for just a younger less technical player who works hard but isn't as good.

In a perfect world we'd let Seedorf go for Hernanes. We might let Van Bommel go for Fernando
