I don't like the formation below because the player in front of the CB should be a defensive player who has (some) creativity since that position is crucial for defending, a player like Van Bommel:

----------------Defenders--------------------------
-----------------Fabregas---------------------------
-----Flamini-------------------Hamsik--------------
-----------------Boateng----------------------------

Fabregas is not a bit more defensive oriented. He is not good defensively. I wonder if there is new Redondo right now, player whose attributes similar like him. A young player like Van Bommel is already more than OK for me to fill the position in front of the CBs.

My realistic hope is to get one of Hamsik/Fabregas/Schweinsteiger (or similar type of player and quality) who cost much money (20-35 mil euro) AND Asamoah (10-15 mil euro) in summer. Then later to get Ganso in winter transfer window.

I agree with you on most of your points, but you called Hamsik/Fabregas/Schweinsteiger realistic? that would be dream signing to me. As ambitious our management seems to be this summer, I am not that optimistic that it would happen. I just hope that we get someone. Maybe Asamoah only.

If it is only Asamoah, then I am a pessimistic seeing how management tried to strengthen the team SINCE last year.
We lose Pirlo and the replacement can't be Asamoah.

It is not to be the names I wrote, it could be other players but still costs pretty much money. We are trying to get someone really good but we don't know who he is.

That's not an entirely impossible scenairo. Allegri classifies Pirlo as LCM in his system, and Galliani already made it clear that our need to purchase any player(s) would be to replace those vacated positions only . Seedorf stays, so no need. Gattuso stays (so far), so no need. At this moment, it is just Pirlo that needs to be replaced. and guess what, Asamoah is a LCM. Bingo.

I would be pissed, but things could be worse.
