First we need a project, thath includes: Coach -> A long term coach, who has that kind of tactic, that suits to our players and have balance -> 4-3-1-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2. Is it Ranieri or some body else i don`t know, but we dont need another Gasperinis whit 3 men defence, thats for sure!
I think we have very good squad and whith couple of new QUALITY players we would be contenders for a title in couple of years or maybe even next year. Now we just have to survive in CL what ever it takes -> to keep our best players like Sneijder and get the money for new transfers. We have to get rid of some players -> like Cordoba, Chivu, Stankovic, Muntari and Milito to make room for couple of new players.
That leaves us Def -> J.Z, Lucio, Samuel, Maicon, Caldirola, Ranocchia, Faraoni, Jonathan, Nagatomo and maybe Juan Jesus. J.Z, Lucio, Samuel will be out in 1 or 2 years time and Maicon perhaps in 2-3 years. I think a new CB is needed cause Lucio and Samuel are aging and Ranocchia isn´t that convincing. For CB i think our sight should be Alex(Chelsea), Ogbonna or Verthogen. Verthogen would be dream, but price will go up cause Arsenal, Bayern and meny other team are after him. But i think Alex would be good option for us cause he is very good CB and cheap! Ogbonna is very interesting young lad who has lots of potential to come real deal in future.
Mid -> Motta, Cambiasso, Alvarez, Obi, Sneijder, Coutinho, Kucka. I see that Cambiasso can play at highest level max 2 years and Kucka will come next summer or even in january. What we lack in midfield is creativity and players who move without a ball, cause everytime i watch our midfielders, only ones who do it is Sneijder, Coutinho, Motta and Alvarez. And what i mean movement is player to move right time and right place without a ball so a team mate can pass the ball back to him. In modern football you don`t just pass the ball and stay put, just like when i watch Stankovic, Cambiasso, J.Z or Muntari they dont have that kind of vision to move in field. Obi runs a lot but he run often in wrong time or place. Don´t have seen any of Kuckas games so idont comment that. Barca plays modern football and of course every Inter fan dreams of Inter playing in same way like Barca. When i watch Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi.. movement in field constantly searching a position, so that team mate can pass the ball to him and then search a new position again, my heart melts!
So we need new "box to box" midfielder who has vision to move without ball and have ability to pass and create something with the ball. I rate those kind of players to be and who we afford -> Montolivo free, Guarin don´t know how much maybe 15-20m, Banega 15-20m, Khedira is also very good player passing, defending and position and i think he will be movin next summer price? One of those palyers would be good start, but if we could get two it would be a dream. I see our midfield next season like this.
---------Sneijder-------- or with two -------------Sneijder--------------
---Motta--------Montolivo/Guarin/Banega/Khedira ----Banega---Motta---Montolivo----
Att -> Pazzini, Forlan, Castaignos and maybe Zarate 15m for next season. Forlan can play at highest level maybe 1-2 years. If we get two players in midfield, i think Zarate would be enought for us -> Pazzini, Forlan, Zarate, Castaignos. I think we should try to get Milito or Muntari in to deal to lower the price somewhere 10m. If we do not buy Zarate our target should be someone like Podolski or G.Rossi a player who can play in wing and forward. But in that case i´m afraid that will be out some where else like midfield!
So my hopes for next season would be something like this
att->Pazzini, Forlan, Castaignos, one of Zarate/Podolski/G.Rossi
mid->Sneijder, Coutinho, Alvarez, Motta, Cambiasso, Kucka, Obi, one or two of Montolivo/Guarin/Banega/Khedira
def->Lucio, Samuel, Ranocchia, Caldirola, Maicon, J.Z, Nagatomo, Jonathan, Faraoni, Juan, one of Alex/Verthogen/Ogbonna
gk->J.C, Castellazzi, Viviano
