Losing Nene is a big loss for PSG if I'm honest, he was excellent last season.
Rumours continue with us and the mercato. As I said before, Galliani has said we need a defender and a midfielder. Worryingly the defender is Acerbi (well, this doesn't worry me so much) and the midfielder is someone new, Flamini or Aquilani.
Given Juve have almost secured both Asamoah and Isla to add to what is already the strongest midfield in Italy, Galliani's comments scare me. No to Flamini and Aquilani, we need someone better who can be a starter. That said, I don't place much trust in Galliani's words right now, as I think we're a little short on numbers at the moment with the squad if I'm correct?
Those confirmed are:
Abbiati, Amelia, Gabriel, Abate, Mesbah, Mexes, Yepes, Bonera, Thiago Silva, Antonini, Taiwo, Didac Vila, De Sciglio, Ambrosini, Muntari, Nocerino, Urby, Traore, Montolivo, Boateng, Cassano, Pato, Robinho, El Shaarawy, Ibra. Add to this Acerbi and one new midfielder.
That is 27, but of that I have major doubts that we'd keep Mesbah, Taiwo and Didac Vila, so in reality we have 24. We must get another LB or move Urby there (although maybe De Sciglio can earn the shirt). That still means we have only 8 midfielders and that's counting both Boateng and Urby. Realistically, we would still need 1 more midfielder. I'm also expecting one of the forwards (most likely Cassano or Robinho) to leave, most likely replacing them with a forward more like Maxi Lopez (prima punta and more of a focal point).
Regarding Acerbi, according to milannews even if Genoa don't get him and Chievo do, then we're still most likely to have him as we'll make an offer involving Paloschi and other youngsters.
