Juve signings useful, not decisive

Nicola Legrottaglie doesn’t expect Juventus’ new arrivals to make a telling difference to the side.

The Old Lady, for whom Legrottaglie used to play for, netted three players in January – Roma’s Marco Borriello, Simone Padoin of Atalanta and Sevilla’s Martin Caceres.

“The January signings won’t change the balance of the side,” the now Catania defender told Tutto Juve.

“They will be useful over the course of the season, but the protagonists who have dragged Juve along during the first half of the campaign will remain the same.”

Juve strengthened their position at the top of the table this week after their one point advantage over Milan remained despite their postponed game at Parma.

“Milan’s loss to Lazio could give Juve an important advantage,” the former Chievo Verona stopper continued.

“Milan now can’t mess up any more games, whereas Juventus are playing as a team. They are a collective.

“Right now Juve are too strong for everyone else. It’ll be hard for anybody to takes points of them, especially in Turin.”

It wasn't the point either. The January signings clearly added depth to our current squad, nothing really more (Caceres is the only player I'd consider first teamer right away, but we will see). So Legro is pretty much stating the obvious.
We don't need changes in the first XI I think, our striker line still remains a question though.

our forward line remains a question.

What people dont see is if one of MVP sustains a major injury we are screwed. We dont have anyone to step into the starting role with even HALF the class the starting 3 have.

Marrone is our best alternative for CM at the moment. He is the only TRUE CM we have right now which would integrate well.

The rest are all wanna-be CMs. We need a quality backup CM.
