The 4-3-1-2 has worked well for Allegri and he seems to like this formation. We do not have the wide players necessary for the other formations, and we have too many good strikers to sit them. Pato will not play on the right and neither will Ibra.
Therefore, it is a very real discussion when thinking about Fabregas, Pastore, Hamsik, Ganso, Lamela, Honda. Now, remember that Berlusconi said he'd gift us with a "Champion" and when he says this, he almost always (if not always) means what he says. The only Champions on this list are Fabregas & Ganso.
My opinion is that we will try our best to bring in Fabregas. I think we will be able to come to terms with Arsenal, but I'm not sure if this is what Fabregas wants. We all know he wants Barcelona, which could prove a problem. If he truly wants to join us, I believe he will play in a midfield diamond with Boateng, Gattuso, & Van Bommel. We may see a more creative midfielder enter that diamond or we may not. Remember Allegri played a large chunk of the season with (3) destroyers in midfield.
I don't believe for a minute that Cesc would come to Milan. He's definitely going to Spain if he goes anywhere at all. I obviously don't have any inside information, but if you were to ask me to put money on him coming to Milan or not coming to Milan, I definitely would choose the latter.
We defintely should target players that fit into the diamond. The CDM is set with MvB, we may need to get a backup. One CM is Boateng's. That leaves the others. That's why if i had to pick, I would want Hernanes and Ganso. Hernanes can fill multiple roles in midfield. Ganso I want just because of his potential. both players would be perfect fits.
Regarding Berlu saying we are to bring in a champion - I always take that to mean that he will bring in world class "champion"-ship caliber players - not the literal interpretation that the player was on a trophy winning team. For that matter Hernanes is a champion too.
