Empoli will defend deep and clearly we don't have a credible number 9 to lead the line. A smart move would be to switch to a 442 and have two forwards play closer to each other. I'd go with: Eder - Gabigoal J. Mario - kondogbia - Gagliardini - Candreva The forwards move...

Yea i agree considering the age, salary difference, team spirit and potential sell on value. I'd go with Lucas rather then Tevez, who'll demand a very high salary and would be difficult to sell. Also, considering the possibility of loosing Sneijder after his price peaks at the Euro's, Lucas well...

I'm not sure why there is a need for a midfielder .. As Branca said, we are going to be playing with 2 or 3 midfielders. So its unlikely we gonna have diamond midfield, thus meaning Sneijder is either sold or brought to back into midfield. The guy wants to stay, so why the hell sell him and find...

Definitely hope we get both Alvarez and Banega. Alvarez would complete the top three and along with Banega that would definitely make us the best passing team in Italy. With Gasperini we'd probably have Cambiasso as a DM and Sneijder to his left and Banega to his right. 3 very good passers who...

fair enough .. I remember Kaka in 2003. Back then, Diego was 17 at Santos and D'alessandro was 18 at River, both whom where hyped about more then Kaka, and both whom i loved watching back in those days when i was football junkie, staying up to watch south american football. But Kaka has...

You disagree with someone, then be constructive. Otherwise all i can say is your approach is plain simple stupidity. No offence. Obviously, Kaka is way better. But saying Alvarez is a kaka type of player is very logical. Comparing him to Kaka with regards to both blossoming after passing their...

Alvarez is kind of a Kaka type of player, only he's a lefty. He's a better crosser of the ball thought, which is why he plays better off the wings, but he's less composed, which is why he isn't as good as Kaka down the middle. However, he is young and Kaka also, took his time to blossom and only...

Inter won't spend big as Moratti has made that clear since summer and come to think of that Inter haven't spent any money in the transfer market for two years. In 09 we sold Ibra to finance the purchases and in 2010 we sold Balo and bought no one. Its obvious the management are working with a...

The problem is our squad is not built for a 4231 .. we don't have wingers at all, where as we have many midfielders. Mou switched to a 4231 last season coz Eto'o wasn't doing too well in the center and thus he gave him a tactical role by moving along the wing and giving width. Eto'o adds lots of...

its been ages since i posted anything here .. a piece of news that i've been waiting for has popped up in the news saying we might switch back to a 4312, and boy i hope its true ! we have no natural wingers, our game last year with Mou was based on hard work and fast counter attacks ...

i'm suprised at the amount of negative comments towards lampard. He is definitely not a playmake every one knws that .. he won't fit in a 442 .. coz he is neither a playmake nor a DM and yea true he can't dribble nor run with the ball. HOWEVER .. in a 3 man midfield .. as a box to box...

its been agez .. but here's my thoughts .. Lampard and Quaresma seem like done deals. So thats a midfield of 3 including 3 from: JZ, Cambiasso, Lamps, Vieria. Lamps - Cambiasso/JZ - Vieria/JZ Very solid and strong midfield with good passing especially when Cambiasso is there to insure a...

true riquelme does not defend much .. but he does indirectly, riquelme brings so much possesion to the team and helps contol the teams shape. The way he organises things is second to none. As for his mental problems .. well he was perfectly fine before he had a bust-up with this particular...

Riquelme is an available option .. many hate the guy yet i see him as top class. Figo is doing well for us, but he's old and there are concerns about his fittness come the crunch time matches in a few months. He's fresh now but doubt he'll be in a few months. Riquelme wud blend in perfectly...

Well i hope what he says is true .. i hope his life is all sorted out and now he can stop partying and get back to fittness. IMO its all about his lack of fittness, when Adriano was fit he was fast, strong and goal scoring beast ! He has had a full holiday, no national team duties or anything...
