Gk:Buffon,Storari,leali might go out on loan.

Defense:Barzagli,Bonucci,Chiellini,Caceres and we are in the market for another backup CB(Bruno Alves/Astori/Bocchetti/Peluso who can play LB too) your defense is fine,specially considering your back 4 isnt that injury prone

Full-backs:Licht,PDC,Isla,Caceres.The left hand side looks weak but i guess we might sign another LB but i am not sure.

Midfield:Pirlo,Vidal,Marchisio,Asamoah,Marrone,Giaccherini,Padoin and i think we are going to sign Pogba too you have no one who can replace pirlo(creative midfielder).pirlo cant stay 2 months without an injury while playing in CL and Serie A

Attack:Vucinic,Giovinco,Matri..Quags might be probably sold ,we'll sign a young Italian forward Gabbiadiani/Destro plus we'll probably add that quality striker to our ranks. meh strikers
.

-------------Marchisio---------------Marrone------------------Vidal-----------------------

-------------Vucinic------------------ Big CF------------------------Giovinco--------------

With this set-up we'd compensate for Pirlo's absence better than playing with a 3-5-2. We'd have two second-strikers capable of creating chances, and Marrone is no Pirlo, but he did well when given the chance last season. (Atalanta away, what a pass )

Although i'll make one huge call and that is Fiorentina to qualify for the CL next season.Why i say this because up until now they have statistically the 2nd best defense in Italy,they havent conceded stupid goals unlike the likes of Inter and Roma who have dropped crucial points down the road.The back 3 of Roncaglia-Savic-Rodriguez have all had fantastic seasons so far.Whilst scoring has been a minor problem as the veteran Toni has been a pleasant surprise for them scoring crucial goals during the course of the season,the signing of Rossi would surely further bolster their scoring capabilities.Lets not even go into their midfield ,thats the best part of their wonderful season so far.Add to that they are in not in European competitions this season which will play to their advantage..I cant predict for the other slot ,its really tough and could be any one of Napoli,Inter,Lazio or Roma.
