I was a bit worried about selling our 3 best players, but so far our transfer campaign has been fantastic. Amelia and Lanzafame in particular are great captures, while Nocerino and Liverani will make a solid midfield.

 

What are you guys going to do for a back line?

 

I imagine our centreback partnership will end up being Raggi-Kjaer while we have Cassani and Balzaretti at rightback and leftback respectively. We still have some depth with Capuano, Biava and potentially bringing back Dellafiore from Torino.

--Cassani--Raggi--Kjaer--Balzaretti
--------Nocerino--Liverani
--Bresciano---------------Jankovic
-------Lanzafame--De Melo

Something like that I guess, perhaps a 3 man midfield. We'll see during pre-season.

 

I like Raggi a lot. Think he's ready? I don't now Kjaer at all (obviously) but that is a very young central pairing. Probably the youngest in Serie A next season. Should be interesting.

 

I don't think he's ready yet, but next season will be a transitional period anyway for Palermo so (if Zamparini can be patient) Raggi and Kjaer can develop a good pertnership. Raggi should mature nicely if we can keep a hold of him, and our full backs are both good so it shouldn't be a huge loss. To be fair, even with Barzagli last year our defence was leaking a load of goals.

 

Did you mean for that to be as funny as it was?
