Summer Mercato 2011

[Ca Rossonero]

Modric might be sold. Tottenham want to hold him, but he's too good to not play UCL. Man Utd want him, but tottenham would prefer to sell abroad. I'd be just as happy to have modric as hernanes.

If you haven't noticed... allegri wants 4 midfielders who attach and defend as a unit. Notice the way players like gattuso get forweard and AM's like seedorf/boateng got back. For this reason he's wanted Hamsik more than Pastore (whether he gets his way is another question....). But he's not interested in a natural trequartista, more having technical midfielders hwo can overlap and link up w/ forwards and each other. For this reason we've also seen links to players like Farfan, Perotti, Marin who are more 'wingers'. I mean heck he played Cossu (a winger) at CAM and got great results. It's about movement and workrate over defined roles, which i like. It makes milan FAR less predictable. Especially when you consider Robinho/Cassano's ability to roam wide and create space centrally for midfielder to run up (If we did get hamsik or pastore, they could easily chip in 15+ goals with robinho/zlatan etc.)

but idea of this...
