Hey Guys, been awhile as I've been busy. I see some interesting posts here. I also see that not much has happened in transfer market. It's been surprisingly quiet for both Milan and the other European teams.
In terms of Bale, I think he's very promising, but not for us. He's a typical English Winger, a player set up for the 4-4-2. He's not creative, tactical, or someone who can fit in our current lineup. There are two ways to go about building a squad:
Fit the formation to the players you buy (Man City, Real Madrid)
OR
Buy the players you need according to the formation your coach uses (What we do, Barcelona & ManUtd.)
So, therefore, Bale is not an option. He does not fit into Allegri's formation and I find it impossible for him to be bought for that price to play LCM. Ganso, Hernanes, Honda, Hamsik are possible buys as they play up the middle, and are more dynamic. Italian style football is not what you would think of when discussing Bale.
We still have many question marks but what we do know is that we will try to play more wide with Taiwo & Abate, and have a strong dynamic (4) diamond midfield with interchangeable midfielders. Up top, we will rotate the 4 excellent strikers we have and also use Inzaghi in emergencies.
The (4) in the diamond midfield is still yet to be known but the possibles are obviously:
Ganso, Hamsik, Pastore (no chance IMO), Poli, Fabregas, Honda, Hernanes, Danilo
+
Our Current Mid: Boateng, Van Bommel, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Urby, Strasser
