I would agree, Flamini should go. I would also argue, if we have the funds Van Bommel should go as well. That would give us space for 2 new young CMs we need. I realize Flamini is not old by any means, but he just doesn't fit. Not technical enough to be a box to box mid (Boateng outshines him, and really so does Ambrosini), and he just doesn't have the tactical acumen or timing to ever be gattuso replacement or play the Anchor. If I had my way we'd grab Montolivo, who I rate more in a box to box role, and fits perfectly Allegri's idea of a mezz'ala. It's a pity we passed on Hernanes last summer as he's a perfect fit too. And for the other positon I'd look for a long term heir to Ambrosini/Gattuso. Maybe M'Vila but he seems expensive. Poli would be a nice prospect to groom. I love Lucas from liverpool, if he doesn't renew I could see him succeeding in Italy. But really that's only if it's attainable, otherwise keeping MVB one more year wouldn't be worst option to maximize funds for bigger needs, mainly a CM with technique, a proper AM or winger and a LB
