If TFC get Borriello, they have to get rid of Altidore. Borriello, Altidore, and Giovinco cannot play together on the regular.

Canadian Messi?
Those two words should ALWAYS be separated by at least one other word.

This is definitely true. He has also proven himself a bit of a bone-head over the years. See his straight red card with the Nazionale a few months ago. His quality still easily outweighs that issue...

He was in a tough situation. Pirlo needs 2 defensive mids as cover at the least. With Juve he played in one of two systems:
-------------Tevez---Llorente------...

De Rossi is a starting DM on the (statistically) the 2nd best team in Italy, he is a starter on the national team. He is miles better than Laba, he is also better than Bradley.

As a Juve fan, I...

He has said he wants to play in America. He'll leave Roma, he just won't play for another Serie A team.

These aren't past your prime players. Both are still performing very well for club. Some would argue Barzagli is still Juve's best defender. If we can some how get these two, you sure as heck get...

He doesn't have to be Italian in terms of nationality - but coaching for a long time in the Italian league would be a huge help. As MikeM said before, there is a certain way of coaching in Italy when...

Don't think I said that no other league used tactics, I just said in Serie A tactics are a hyperfocus. It isn't opinion that Serie A is more tactical than other leagues, it is fact. There are dozens...

Watch Serie A vs. other leagues and the focus on tactics is clear. Italians have been achieving more with less for decades. If we're looking for a coach that will bring structure to the team, the...

I completely agree with you. Sarri is one example of a good Italian coach. Eusebio Di Francesco is another. TFC just needs a coach from Italy who can speak English. He doesn't need to be an Antonio...

See Albania National Team example. There are many shit players in Europe, and many coaches who deal with them. These coaches didn't spring up and begin in the top flight. Look at two of the better...

Let's use the Albanian national team as an example. Our team is certainly on par with that team. First, national teams rarely train together, and Albania isn't a very deep nation in terms of talent -...

One key difference about Italian training vs. other countries (like Germany) is a lot of the training is without the ball. Arturo Vidal once said that the key difference between Italy and Germany is...

Prandelli, Montella, or Spalletti would all work. Stay away from Capello, who NYCFC is apparently talking to, which further cements that that team (NYCFC) has no idea what they are doing.

Ruud Gullit?
He's not a coach. He is a former player who managed Feyenoord for less than a year with a mediocre performance.

I stand by my argument that there have been NO real high quality...

You don't need to completely overhaul a team. Look at Napoli this year. They hired an Italian coach in Sarri to replace Rafa Benitez, a much more prestigious manager. Sarri kept the team mostly the...

My theory is that until Giovinco's press conference, the entire front office & coaching staff thought he was an attacking midfielder instead of a striker. The team's player acquisition outside the...

I said that about Giovinco as a Juve fan last winter. Money talks, and all of those guys are unemployed. Spalletti last coached in Russia (which isn't exactly a highly coveted location), Prandelli in...

Honestly, Kantari & Perquis should have been sufficient. Both have played at high level. It has got to be the midfield (no DM) and the coaching.

If it's up to me, say bye to Altidore. Use the...

Bring in a European coach. People say European coaches do badly, but IIRC the most winningest and third most winningest coaches in league history are European. Furthermore, if you look at European...

Many Juventus fans consider Barzagli their best defenders. He'd be impossible b/c he'd HAVE to be a DP.

Agreed...

These are players that are missing that something extra at the highest level (like Giovinco), but the MLS is anything but the highest level. Defenders in the MLS would capitulate against...

Yeah agreed, Nani would be among the best in the league.

NYCFC is going to have a fun time sheltering him.
Pirlo needs to hard working CMs to give him space. That isn't Lampard.
He is an elite playmaker, but they better find the right midfield to...
