Imagine we somehow have a healthy Silva, Hernanes, and Pato for the next season, supplemented with healthy Nesta, healthy Boateng, "give a damn" Ibrahimovic, and "derby error free" Abate.
And, is Dede even in our radar?I heard no link whatsoever.
Large rosters are difficult to manage and costly. It makes sense to reduce our squad size, as this season it's been way too big. Our injury crisis this season shouldn't reoccur either, I'm certain there will be stringent controls put in place this summer to prevent this sort of stuff happening again.
Not sure how we'll get a "derby error free" Abate though, it just seems certain that when a derby comes he'll do something stupid.
About Dede, we've been linked with him in the past. I'm not aware of any real links lately and he's come out to say that Thiago Silva's the best defender in the world, but he's not in any rush to leave Brazil.

However, we keep throwing these kids to Serie C1 and C2 never to be heard of again. What ever happened to Guerci? I remember he was one of our top youth prospects from 4 or so years ago..nowhere to be seen now. Antonelli was a similar case, putting in good performances at LB only to be benched by Carlo. Gourcuff is a story I'm tired of discussing.
Props to Allegri for having faith in De Sciglio..and I hope this trend continues. Hernanes is welcomed news as well. Finally a good link for a change..
Pretty much agree with you completely. We should show a little more faith in our youth, at least giving them a solid role in our squad, rather than just putting them in the squad but not actually using them.
