Transfer Window Closes: Roma making moves while Juventus fail to find defender

Since this morning my twitter wall has been busy with a flurry of messages regarding football transfers. Today was the last day of the transfer window and the final hours saw players moving all over the map. Looking at the last minute transfer performance, Roma seem to have made the biggest splash. Their last minute signings include a loan deal for Real Madrid midfielder Gago. At the age of 25 with both experience at the club level and for his native argentina, I think this is a great signing for Roma. He is a hard working individual who could shine if given a chance week in week out. He will join a group of yongsters also being brought in today in the form of the talented Danish defender Simon Kjaer, Italian striker Fabio Borini, and Bosnian Pjanic, who, at 21, has already played three season at French league power, Lyon. Kjaer and Pjanic both have experience playing for teams at the top level which will prove useful in their transition to Italy. Roma have no doubt brought in some young and talented players with but there are still many issues going forward for i lupi. Luis Enrique will need to figure out a way to efficiently incorporate the many young players in the squad with the more experienced veterans or else face similar results to their Europa League qualifiers.
Back home in Torino, Juventus did not have the deadline day I had hoped for. There defense needed some depth but unfortunately no one was brought in. This means that Bonucci and Chiellini need to finally get on the same page and De Ceglie will have to live up to his potential. In the midfield, Elia was officially signed caping off one of the most expensive transfer seasons in history. We need to remember Elia for making a comment about Juventus not being better than Hamburg and it wouldn't be an improvement for his career. Hamburg now sit last place in the Bundesliga, so obviously his feelings towards Juve have shifted just a little. Regardless of his previous comments, there is no doubt that this is another big signing especially because of his ability to play both up front and on the wing. I personally would love to see this rumored 4-2-4 formation with Matri and Vucinic up top and Krasic and Elia on the pushing up on the wings leaving Vidal and Pirlo behind them. This probably won't happen and Conte will most likely opt for a more traditional formation. Looking at this Juventus team, there are definitely still some small problems but I think that if they can come together as a team, then they can push for the title. As a whole this Juve team could do great things.
