If Giampaolo continues like this he'll be the new Allegri.


He wishes.

We signed him, I think. It is official. I'm not sure if we sold Silva though.

I wonder maybe with Rebic we could play 4-2-3-1:

Kessie - Bennacer
Suso - Paqueta - Rebic
Piatek


The more I think about it, the more I am convinced of this.

This 4-3-1-2 foolishness has to stop. And instead of going 4-3-3, let's give Paqueta some more attacking freedom and play him in the hole.

But obviously Giampaolo's conservative and ancient mentality will never opt for that.

That looks great. The only question mark being Kessie, as he's not that good in a more holding type of role. I'd actually prefer Biglia next to Bennacer over Kessie in that kind of formation.

I think they'd complement each other well.

Obviously this is moot, I can't see us changing to this kind of system

I knew someone would bring this up.

Let me ask you a question. Out of the three seasons Kessie has played in Serie A thus far, which has been his best?

A ) Atalanta 16/17
B ) Milan 17/18
C ) Milan 18/19

The obvious answer is A. And what position did Kessie occupy then? He was part of the double pivot in Gasperini's 3-4-1-2, usually alongside Freuler. What position does Kessie occupy in his NT? Still part of the double pivot in Ivory Coast's 4-2-3-1, as per the Africa Cup of Nations from a couple of months ago.

So, why do people doubt him in that role here then? If anything, playing more retracted in midfield would relieve him of most of his offensive freedom (where he makes most mistakes) that come by being played as mezz'ala, and would give him more defensive duties, where he can exert his physicality and pressure on the ball (arguably his strongest suits).

Playing Biglia alongside Bennacer would be having two players of similar characteristics, and everyone knows that a double pivot works best when you have both brains (Bennacer) and brawn (Kessie) together.

I like this formation...a lot!

I think it will allow Paqueta to really flourish. Suso will play in his best position, and I guess Rebic also. Piatek should have no problem finding the goal with this kind of supporting cast. Kessie and Bennacer is not a bad partnership to have. Kessie despite his attacking weakness gives the team lots of energy..and Bennacer could be the slick quick-pass player in midfield. This could really work well.

On another point, I'm happy we got Rebic.

Yes, but it's exactly when you have teammates like those that your limitations become clear. It's like you said, he's a huffing-and-puffing kind of player, lacks class and vision in his passing and touch.


True. But, we are not lacking that honestly. We have lots of vision in Paqueta/Suso. We need this kind of explosive player.

Agreed, but what irks me most is that Rebić is very unstable mentality-wise. This could turn out to be a problem considering our team.

So Summary as per transfermarket.com

IN:
R Leao 25 Million Euros (Forward)
T Hernandez 20 Million Euros (Full back)
I Bennacer 16 Million Euros (Midfield)
L Duarte 11 Million Euros (CB)
R Krunic 8 Million (Midfield)
Rebic 2 year loan 5 Million loan fee (Forward)
Kessie Irrelevant for this market


OUT:
P Cutrone 18 Million Euros
D Laxalt Loan with option to buy 8 Million
A silva 2 year loan

All other departures were either free or loans. So basically we failed to sell. From Donna, Suso to dead rubber like Samu, Borini etc all

What do you mean? He is a red-card magnet? Or his performances are not consistent?

Honestly, in my opinion, he will be a success with us. Exactly the type of player we need. Of course, he will need to evolve with us, but I really like his pace and his general play.

I think we did okay. Why should we sell Donna? Yes, it was a quite expensive transfer market, but we did improve key areas. We need to get into the Champions leauge to become attractive for the big players. Look at Inter..
