Well I'm happy with our market , only a shame we spoiled it on the last day .
Don't forget we spent a lot of money in the winter for two players who give the impression of our two BEST players .
Wer'e safe in goal , the great Toldo is in good form and we have Cordaz and Fontana(Carini will probably be loaned) .
However I don't belive Carini will ever be our first goalkeeper , I think and hope we will get Timo Hildebrand or Sebastien Frey next season .
In the defence we got ourselves a great defender with Burdisso , trust me .
We got Mihajlovic who was in the first 11 for Lazio , so he is probably good enough to be a back up after Materazzi Cordoba Burdisso and Gamarra .
It's a shame we have released Adani , a good solid defender who has passion for Inter .
To have released Gamarra might have a good effect , now he knows he must be great because the aim is on him , although I think he was always great for us .
I'm sad about the loss of Cannavaro , I mean we surely could have sold him to Real for a lot of money , he was just getting his form back in the end of the season and in the Euro 2004 .
About the transfer of Brechet to sociedad which got us some money and about the release of Helveg who is even in Norwich the worst player , all I have to say is thank you Mancini Facchetti Oriali and Branca .
Favalli might no be world class but he sure is better than Brechet .
Now Ze Maria is a different story , he's awesome ! he has amazing long shots and free kicks and crosses the most into to box in the Serie A , MUCH better than Helveg .
In midfield we have got great players for free :
Edgar Davids , a world class DM very aggresive , doesn't give the opponents any space and also has got good crosses and ball control .
Esteban Cambiasso , a talented and very intelligent midfielder , can be a much better back up than Farinos .
Juan Veron , a great playmaker with very good anticipation , passes and long shot , is rated as the best midfielder in the world by some famous managers .
For the LW position we got our very talented Mario Rebecchi as a back up and kept Kily .
Kily might have not lived up to the expectations in his first season , but he was not played in his position , instead he was played as a LWB , parallel to Capitano , in Mancini's system the LW is very offensive and dangerous so expect the real Kily to star .
We also got rid of Buruk Okan who agreed to tear his contract so we don't have to pay his wages .
In attack we have sold a good player who we do not need , Mohammed Kallon for 5 million euro , a good deal .
We got a greek player called Lambros Choutos , his objective is still unknown , he might be used as a part of a deal .
Loan deals have been very good to us , we got Juan Veron who I mentioned earlier and we got rid of unneeded players who were probably also damaging the club atmosphere because they didn't get to play :
Nicola Ventola and Gonzalo Sorondo to Crystal Palace , Sabri Lamouchi to Genoa , Francisco Farinos to Mallorca , Stephane Dalmat to Toulouse .
We also loaned out some youngsters :
Mathieu Moreau and Fabrizio Biava are now with their old Primavera coach Corrado Verdelli in Ternana ,while Alessandro Potenza and Ianis Zicu stay in Parma for another season .
And last but not least , the manager :
We have released Alberto Zaccheroni , an old styled manager with pathetic defensive abilities IMO and we got Roberto Mancini , a modern manager like Arsene Wenger for example who likes to play dynamic spectacular football and to win with style , the difference is , Cuper or Zac are managers who try not to lose while Mancini is the type of manager who will go for the win at any price .
The main idea is , we are a much stronger , more united and probably consistent team , just look at the difference :
In Out
Favalli Brechet stronger
Ze Maria Helveg much stronger
Cambiasso Farinos stronger
Davids Almeyda much stronger
Veron Okan much stronger
Burdisso Cannavaro weaker
Mihajlovic Adani a little bit weaker
Choutos Kallon weaker
Rebecchi
Beati in the team Lamouchi the same
Mancini Zac stronger
Choutos and Mihajlovic will probably not play a lot anyway so the difference is very small , Burdisso is great and yound , while we sold Juve a 31 old defender who suffers from a very bad injury .
