I remember we wanted Constant from Chievo a while back, links were very heated but I think his figure was something like 10mln.. He played outstanding against us that season I remember, and I followed him for a few games here and there because it was almost a certainty that we had signed him.. He's a good player, could even be great if he preforms well with us but I'm not convinced if this is our midfield signing, as galliani said a defender may arrive if we dont resign nesta, and a midfielder will arrive if aqua/flamini dont resign..
Terrible news to hear about Muntaris injury, he was a good addition in our midfield last season he's dangerous on goal and he adds great energy to our midfield - I only really had one problem with him and that's this nack he had for making very very RISKY moves in possesion, it would seem he was almost gifting the ball to our opponents in dangerous territory but would somehow continue on with the ball at his feet , this could be his style of play but to me it could have also been him fading out of matches from the 70th on and getting lazy, or just straight out being stupid . other then that muntari was a solid player for us i really hope his injury isn't that bad.
On Acerbi, good signing I haven't seen much of him but many of you along with some reports I've read rate him pretty highly. Let's hope hes not another bonera, don't forget bonera was supposed to be some type of italy NT starter and amazing defender when we bought him
On Balzaretti, I disagree that he'd be a temporary replacement. For the sum he'd come at (I'd predict no more then 5-8mio, 8 pushing it) I think he's a great aquisition, he has at least 2 SOLID seasons ahead of him, after that he may or may not preform well but I'm sure De sciglio will have more time to mature by then making him our starting LB in a couple seasons. He'll be about 22 y/o which is a good age for a starting LB maybe too little experience but he is one of our youth products so id be willing to give it a go, he'll have matured a lot by then and if he continues to impress like this I don't doubt his ability to be a solid LB in our starting 11
EDIT: We all know Acerbi is official, seems like Constant is now official as well who i rate very highly, welcome both

I also read that we're close to signing Schelotto :S
Most random of links thus far. We don't play with wingers, but maybe he'd be okay on the left side of midfield? Buhp you guys can give your opinions i dont think its a very smart idea
