Believe it or not...I don't want to sell him. He doesn't suit our system true...but I actually think this bloke could be better than Trezeguet. We just need to find an able support partner. 15 million was a great deal for a top poacher...and I don't know how much his wages are, but they can't be a lot.

He has been next to useless in leading our attack line this season, but then so has everyone. I have seen a steady improvement in the bloke...and I think he'll have scored 10 goals by the time this season ends. Not bad considering his minutes played.

Next season we need a proper CF. I wanted Dzeko coz he's the closest thing to a complete CF who's available. And no..I don't consider this an either/or situation vis a vis a FB. We need both. End of.

Kaladze and Janku will go for sure. Janku's already come out and said so. Getting 10-12 million for both of them combined is not too unreasonable.

Where we're hit is that Janku want to return to the Czech republic...so we can't exchange him for anyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

When Trez was Hunts age he was already an established world class player at a top club who won both the WC and the Euro.

Trez made that rock solid move to Juve...where he was basically replacing another poacher in Pippo. I think we should first play to KJH's strengths before judging him as a bad investment. We havent done that this year.

Of course if the player wants to leave, it's a different matter.

dzeko sounds too good to ignore jack. Hunt's had his chances, its time to move on...

A good striker can even perform in a bad team, such as Dzeko did it this year when Wolfsburg were playing horrific.

And I think he is performing pretty decently. We know he's a goal poacher...he needs to be in the box. When was the last time he's been afforded that luxury?

I think his performances have been extraordinary average. I think we shouldn't wait too long for him to perform well.

He's 27. And while yes, he's scored some goals, he's hardly the type of player Milan needs (assuming Leonardo remains as coach and sticks rigidly to the 4-3-3) and I don't think he's got the right mentality. His performance at Old Trafford was shocking.

GO FAR AWAY.

He needs to go end season. We will not win prizes with him NOR with Borriello; we need someone like... well, Dzeko is a well-known example.

And I think KJH should be tried one season, with a system that actually plays to his strengths.

I see no point, in playing him on the wing and then saying he sucks...he was a bad investment. We're making the same mistake we did with Gila. Letting a player get the brunt of the blame for what's essentially a wrong system for him.

I suppose it's up to Leo whether he will stick to the 4-3-3 or not. Though he could play the 4-3-3 with Pato playing more in the centre...as support to enable KJH to play in the box.

To do this we would need an awesome RB though.

I wanted Dzeko coz he looks to me like a wildcard who can play in any position in that forward line. I'm guessing from a total of watching about 60 mins of Wolfsburg and 3 or 4 youtube vids..so I could be completely wrong. . But if he is we need a player with that kind of versatility.

To field Huntelaar in a system that plays to his strengths, the team will need a different coach. Leonardo does not seem willing or able to field anything but a 4-3-3

4-3-3 is actually Huntelaar's formation.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

We have to see. He might be fielding the 4-3-3 solely because it is handing in the results. Giving us the best of R80 and the speed of Pato, while Borriello does the holding up.

The only players who lose out in this formation are the poachers.

The 4-3-3 did so well against Manchester?

Nope. We didn't have the players to play anything else I feel. Zee couldn't last all those minutes...so the 4-3-2-1 was out. What I do know is the 4-3-3 took us from lower table (14th) to 4 points shy of the leaders.

Would you play a 4-2-4 with Pippo in the mix as well. Flam and Pirlo in a central pivot..I don't think so...we'd be overrun.

@Chu_Lip: Well the formation is called the same..it's the way you structure it. KJH cannot/does no stay in the box in Leo's system. I don't know if he's trying too hard or it's the formation...but if he can't be in the box his scoring chances drop by 60% probably.

For instance the 4-3-1-2 with Kaka and with Rui were completely different in style. A 4-3-1-2 with 2 DMs as opposed to one DM is again different. That's what I meant. I meant 'Leo's 4-3-3'.
