With Inter signing Ricky Alvarez, Lazio signing anyone they can get their hands on, Juventus adding Pirlo and Roma on the verge of signing Barcelona's Bojan and Erik Lamela you would think the smaller Serie A clubs are being left in the dust. Not so, it would seem.
Last seasons surprise package Cesena have already added Adrian Mutu, a player proven at International and top club level for their forward line next season. Today returning Serie A side Siena, relegated with a thread bare squad only last summer, seem to have signed Italy international Gaetano D'Agostino. Having not quite taken off in Florence the much hyped midfielder, linked to numerous big clubs last summer round Europe, seems content to rebuild his career at Siena.
For Serie A this is great news as after last years competitive relegation battle, which ultimately saw Sampdoria bite the dust, many teams can't be considered relegation fodder nor certain of Serie A status before the season begins. With this in mind it will be interesting to see how fellow competitors for that precious survival status will respond this summer. Bologna, Lecce, Novara and Atalanta will certainly have to do so.
