In this case, the club might see him as a player we can possibly sell, in which case Allegri is keen to move from 4-3-1-2 to 4-3-3 with an attacking line of Pato, Ibra and Cassano. Personally, I'd like to keep him and think if he stays fit is worth 3.5 to 4m. He's become more and more vital for us over the past 2 years
and he has a strong personality we need in our side (especially as guys like Nesta and Rino have left).
This will never happen. With these three in attack we would be too much exposed no matter which three players we put in midfield positions. We all know Allegri will not do this permanently. He's tried this back then with Ronaldinho and it didn't work. Perhaps occasionally he will BUT just with Robinho instead of Pato/Cassano, like he has done already. If Boateng leaves, Allegri will ask for his replacement. Or he will play Montolivo there.
There is a lot of little talk about our system for the next year, but I think that is mostly bullshit. I mean, if Emanuelson (for example) could play left back, Allegri would try him before now. He's two season with us. If I remember correctly, he hasn't start a game as left-back since he joined us, so how come he'll be our "new" left back?!
I think that Allegri really doesn't know which players he will get, so he's telling anything to prove he has a plan. Allegri will (hopefully) have plan when transfer window is closed, but we will a 99 percent sure play the same system until now.
So no 4-3-3 on a permanent basis and no full back that can't defend imo.
