Coach Giuseppe Iachini admits Palermo are 'not complete' and discusses the situations of Franco Vazquez, Alberto Gilardino and Andrea Belotti.
The Sicilian side are up against Genoa in their Serie A opener today, at a point in which the team's transfer campaign is not finished.
“We're still not quite complete as a group,” Iachini admitted in his Press conference ahead of the game.
“But ours is a valid squad and we want to give everything we've got tomorrow,” he said.

“We're still not quite complete as a group,” Iachini admitted in his Press conference ahead of the game.
“But ours is a valid squad and we want to give everything we've got tomorrow,” he said.
“Playing without a striker is going to be a bit of a burden, no doubt.
“We had young players coming in and others will join us as well.
“We changed very much and our hope is to dispute an entertaining championship."
The tactician then went on to discuss his players, starting from Vazquez.
“He's very happy to be here and the club said he was absolutely not for sale. We have no problems on the topic.
“Gilardino? I can't say anything until he's actually our player. We'll see what happens in the next few days before broaching the topic.
“Belotti? He had certain conditions in his contract, and Torino offered some different ones.
“I'd have liked to have kept him, but the transfer market didn't allow us to.
“As for his replacement, the club tried to get one right away, but unfortunately things did not work out.
“Now we're trying to sign two strikers, and a winger could also be useful given the injury to [Michel] Morganella.
“As for all the other roles, we're fine.”
