Agree with your lineup next season.aly sissoko,mexes,ganso,poli,robben for summer market.maybe baloteli to replace inzaghi next next market.
Well we may be in agreement on the number of transfers. I don't want Flamini anymore. I don't want Balotelli as does not seem to do good for the team on teh whole with his attitude. As for Robben, he will only come if we plan on making a systemic change to the team in regards to the formation.
As for Poli, he doesn't even start on Sampdoria, or didn't first half of season. Can anyone comment on his progress? Is he a star of Serie A? Or do people like him because he's Italian?
Poli was 1 of catlysts of Sampdoria team which finished 4th 2 years ago. He's slightly younger than Pato (basically same age) was only 20 at time. Played in a 2 man CM and was very good.
Keep in mind, in limited action this yeaR (and almost exclusively at anchor position) he still wins a lot of tackles... He's won 44 challenges in 1053 minutes this year, a rate of 1 ever 23.9 minutes. For reference the only Milan mid who is doing better is Gattuso, and it's more often than the likes of zanetti, cambiasso, melo etc.
He's a pretty good passer too...
Cesare Prandelli said in an interview, he'd like to see milan get montolivo and poili because he thinks those two + boateng can give milan perfect balance of a CM.
If you want my opinion on Poli, he has potential to be more like ambrosini or van bommel, an anchor player who can be trusted on the ball.
Why is he not playing now? Well if I use the most obvious but least satisfying answer it'd probably be true. Italian coaches have problem with youth, and it needs to change. He has the talent he proved it in 09/10 as the youngest regular in sampdoria and in serie A in general. There's a reason Mourinho and Ancelotti were interested in him, along w/ Braida/Galliani. He's got a lot of talent and a good work ethic.
If we got Poli and Montolivo, and sold Flamini, Id like our midfield next year... groom poli to succeed ambrosini/gattuso. Montolivo can play now both with and without pirlo, boateng will continue his improvement etc. I see him as a potential pirlo type signing, showed some great things on u21 level, had a good club year... then off a disappointing one he's sold.
