Don't forget we need a good replacement for Figo, I mean Solari has improved majorly but we need to spend some money on a prospect, someone that we can insert gradually into the grand scheme of things.
My first name is obviously Cristiano, lots of gossip on him so who knows. The pricetag is quite hefty and Fergie is not gonna let him go that easy. They'd probably want one of our star players, and quite frankly I don't want Cuchu, Adri or Ibra or any of our "younger" players to go for him. That would make the transfer relatively pointless. So no trades.
Gerrard is my official forbidden dream
But considering he received death threats after he was linked with Chelsea a few years ago, I don't think they'd be too keen on letting him go for Italy either. I am also not positive he'd play well in Serie A, kinda clashes with his style. He certainly knows how to kill Milan tho (remember Istanbul?) and that's always a plus.
Messi is supposed to be our "official" target... But I'm def not sure 100 Mil is worth the hassle, I'd probably offer 75 on a good day. He's good and he could be the center of our new team, but I'd rather spread out and buy a few more players. He's still young and if he gets hurt, homesick, or cocky or whatever, that's 100 Mil not playing. By spreading out we can cover our options. I'd rather get the "next" Messi
or Henry + 2-3 others.
Cesc, now there's a good target. He's been pretty quiet recently, even though he's a big name that teams should be fighting over. I bet he's still disappointed with the CL loss last year so he probably wants to win it with the Gunners before moving on. Winning the EPL should be on his mind too... He might have set out to do that before he leaves. And he's real young so no reason to rush offers for him.
Cassano is a definite no. NO NO NO. Too much of a gamble. We have an awesome environment that took decades to stabilize. Last thing we need is a firecracker like him.
I would love to steal Ronaldinho from AC Milan, they're all basically treating him like he plays for the cousins already.
Diego Ribas is not a big name but could fit the bill. He's probably gonna be one of our side transfers. Giovani Dos Santos could be nice too.
We should look into some Italian players, I feel like all we buy are Brazilian or Argentine players... Barzagli or Zaccardo could be some good investments, or Amelia. Also Buffon is approaching the end of his contract I believe (summer '08). I don't know how good JC and Toldo would feel about him though... DDR is basically the new Totti for Roma. There's no chance in hell he's gonna leave anytime soon. Give it a few years tho, if we post major success we might have some leverage on him.
I don't know... Ribery? David Villa? Saviola? Coloccini? Sneijder? A young goalkeeper?
Good names but nothing huge. Either way I feel that getting one big name is more of a gimmick rather han investing wisely across the board.
