OK, there it is the WF/SS (Wing Forward/Second Striker) version of my previous thread Summer Mercato 2015 - DM (Defensive Midfielder), this time I included first, the Stats with only Average per game because it's better to compare different players, and then, the Stats with both Total for the season and (Average per game).

I've included even the targets we already lost (Depay and Dybala) for comparison.



Edit: I updated the images to include the final round of the season for the leagues that finished last week. I removed the Stats with both Total for the season and (Average per game), but included a link to an Excel (.xlsx) file, that allows you to sort by column for easier comparison between all players.

Note: You can open the images in a new window if they're too small to read. Or CTRL + Mouse-Wheel to zoom.

I think those stats show that Palacio is a much better player than people give him credit for

Palacio is super ST for sub, BUT everyone see that he cant make good 90m! We need attacking wingers like Cuadrado, Konoplyanka, Fekir, Pedro - not ST (Jovetic, Imobile) for next season if we want to play: 4-2-3-1..

Kova and Bro don't suit in 4-2-3-1, so they must be sold if we'll switch to it. Firmino or Fekir will be good acquisition, but they are very expensive, so i wouldn't mind to Jovetic. Javier Hernandes is perfect sub for Icardi, by the way. I think we can get him on loan easily, considering his status in Man U.
Anyway our primary concern must be the defense and if we are ready to splash some money, we have to start form there.

I forgot to add that the ** means that that was Palacio's 2013/2014 season, his best season with us, but yeah he has always been an underrated player. I guess it's the ugly rat-tail.

Where are you looking these stats up. This site looks golden. Or is this your own analysis?

How about some more Italians on that list, Berardi is co-owned with Juve, i heard he might join there new frontline.

Idk what our plans are with Bonazzoli but even if we keep him i think we should buy another Italian esp if plays AM/SS/WF

By SS do you mean 11 in a player in between an AM(10) and a CF(9) but not classic 9 (targetman)

Some 9s can take the role in terms of positional play often playing solo or with proper support from midfield alongside a targetman.

-------------------------
-----SS--SS--SS-------
-------------------------

-------------------------
WF(11)--SS(9)--------
-----------------(10)AM
-------------------(7)SM

--------------------------
-----SS(9)-SS(11)------
-------AM(10)-----------
If you play diamond in midfield you may be inclined to play targetman maybe even 11 at AM spot.


------------CF(Classic 9)----
---------------SS(9)---------
--------------------AM(10/11)
SM(7/10)--------------------


WF(7)--------------WF(7/11)
----------SS(9)-----------
---AM(10)---AM(10/11)(I think its an 8 for CM who can play the role like Sneijder or recently Hernanes with a strong shot.


------------------------------
-----------SS(9)-------------
-------AM------AM(10/11-----
SM--------------------SM(7/10)


Serie A Italians

Sau is from Sardinia and may stay with Cagliari through relegation

I doubt that Milan will sell us El Sharaawy, even if they sell i suspect a Anti Inter clause.

Insigne and Gabbiadini are unlikely, maybe Gabbiadini if and when they bring in Roberto Insigne, both bros being academy

Bernadeschi may be the future face of Fiorentina for yrs to come, Rossi future unknown.

Improta belongs to Genoa, we have good relations

Okaka may have a home at Sampdoria, i swear he used to play the WF or SS at Roma, only labeled CF. I remember him being versatile in terms of speed, technique, strong shot and good vision.

I still think Sansone is unlikely to leave this yr at least if they lose one of or both Zaza and Berardi

I think Empoli have the option to buy Saponara maybe only 1/2 idk

Molina got injured early on, hasnt returned to form yet, Atalanta may want him for next yrs campaign, losing Bonaventura nearly saw them relegated.


Some Serie B Italians

Many of these players are labeled more diverse in terms of role, i went with primary, Serie B may be more technical than Serie A, most of these players are deployed throughout the field, look up all the details if you want, goals and assists may only be labeled with starting position, be sure to take out penalties or take minutes played into consideration when comparing, there are many standout performers. I used Transfermarkt.com


Laribi LM 24 yrs Sassoulo owned, likely to bring him in after losing Berardi

Mazzarani AM 25 yrs, I think Virtus Entella has an option to buy

Ciano RW 25 yrs, Parma owned, likely to want him to battle back to Serie A

Falco RW 23 yrs, Lecce owned, I think Trapani have option to buy

Di Gaudio LW 25 yrs Carpi soon to be Serie A but Palermo born

Gatto LW 23 yrs Atalanta owned, I think Virtus Luciano have option to buy

Giannetti LW 24 yrs Spezia owned

Ragusa SS 25 yrs was Injured most of the season, started strong, could still come back

Falcinelli CF 23 yrs Sassoulo owned

Torregrossa CF 22 yrs Hellas Verona, I think Crotone have option to buy(many assist may be able to play SS)labeled CF only

De Luca CF 23 yrs Owned by Atalanta, I think Bari have option to buy


Older options

Pasquato LW soon to be 26 (Still Juve owned) still think would make a solid investment.

Cetallani LW 26, Sassoulo coown with Spezia

Maniero CF 27, Catania owned (many assist may be able to play SS) labeled CF only.

Siligardi SS 27, Livorno owned, Name sounds familiar, hear he belonged to Inter at one point, we should bring him back.

Dionisi CF soon to be 28, Frosinone, soon to be Serie A


Younger options

Paganini LW 21 yrs old, Frosinone soon to be Serie A almost all header goals

Parigini RW 19 yrs old, Torino owned, I think Perugia have option to buy

Politano RW 21 yrs old, Pescara owned

Garritano RW 21 yrs old, Cesena owned


Italias got talent, always will, i want some if even to come off the bench, some would dribble right past defenders or fly by with speed late in the game, with vision to cross or pass and the ability to deliver it.

We should make some deals or loans and get our hands on some for the future, is it true what someone said there wont be anymore co-ownerships after this or next yr?


Competition from Udinese is likely as Di Natale is about to retire

Torino is back in the fold, we had the great Mazzolas son, which might prove good for us in taking down Juventus

Hellas Verona is likely to put more talent around Luca Toni the leagues top scorer along with our own Icardi.

Meanwhile Chievo Verona is likely to look for more to put around Paloschi one of the leagues top CFs.

Palermo have an eye for talent and money to spend.

Lazio may be looking for the new Rocchi as Candreva may drop back for Mauri.

Roma seem to still be shopping for the new Montella and may need someone for Totti soon.


There are talks of Pato which might just mean we want one of Milans, he may not be academy but there is one in Verdi that i would gladly take. We may be angry about Destro and Balotelli, thats just academy and recently, i know i am.

As always i'd take Martins back, the once fastest man in soccer and one of the fastest men in the world

I read that Biabiany is our Academy, a fact i may have forgotten, i do remember him being the fastest in Serie A at one point.

Bringing back Pandev helped us win the champions league, bringing back either i think would add much needed depth to our squad

While Defenders improve with Age in terms of reading the game, many Attackers decline, what they gain in Attacking prowess they often lose in Speed and Agility which negates from their technique due to playing in the attacking third and with age fatigue. Many who start outwide move to a central role, while central players move deeper or to a more advanced position. While some still shine with a strong shot, dual footed, better passing, bonds with their teammates, Tactics.

What do you think about Cyril Thereau from Udine? I saw few games of him and it seems that he might play as SS, but he is a bit old as well. He's 32, but he might be good and cheap back up option , i suppose.

Or how about massimo maccarone? Or maybe fabrizio miccoli? I'm pretty fond of German Denis myself

I don't think he's a SS more of a CF. Although we definitely need someone who can be a backup to Icardi.
