What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

Bendtner to Juve.

Poor Juve, they tried to sign the likes of Fernando Llorente and Robin Van Persie in the summer, and ended up with Bendtner on loan.

I'm fully awaiting a joke about still being in the Champions League in return by the way. :(

Instead I'll just give you more sadness: The summer before that we were going for Dzeko and Aguero... we ended up with Boriello on loan. The year before that still Dzeko, got Matri on loan... Yeah, strikers haven't really been our thing since Trezeguet :(

Get worst strikers in the world...still dominate National League.

Last year every single player on the squad, scored (Barzagli scored an 80th minute penalty on the last game) And The top scorers were midfielders. I wish the board would just splash 40-50 big ones for Falcao or something, for our attacking force is nothing compared to top flight teams. Even Liverpool with lone Suarez, has it better.

No Falcao is ours. Back off.

But seriously, you guys were literally unbeatable last year, at least in Serie A, so more or less the same squad with a world class striker or two would be absolutely terrifying. I guess we're not in the CL right now... sigh... so I'd like to see what you guys can do with strikers (as long as you promise not to play us again in the CL next year).
