All talk about the Winter transfer window.

So, what moves should Milan do to further improve the squad? Who to sell? Take into consideration that we might want to buy a player that will be eligible to play in the knockout stage of the Champios League.

I don't like the idea of Seedorf being a starter (of course he can start some games, but not too often). IMO Seedorf's best at backing up Pirlo. So during games he can sub Pirlo, he can start games when Pirlo can't or need rest, but also he can sub in for a different/defensive midfielder when we need a more attacking midfield to find a goal.

So I hope Allegri played Seedorf a lot because Boateng arrived late in pre-season, and Flamini having sort of injuries?

Who knows really, if this was Carlo, I'd tell you that Seedorf is a definate starter. But Allegri doesn't strike me as a guy who looks to seniority/personal like towards a player to judge who he picks. I think he'll be using Seedorf against the smaller teams, but against tougher teams we will most probably see Boateng/Flamini with Pirlo and Ambro

Also I don't really like Seedorf in the centre role, he's best at playing in that left side of the midfield 3 imo.

What about Gattuso? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Hey don't mock Rino! He was making juggling assists against Lecce (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Also I don't really like Seedorf in the centre role, he's best at playing in that left side of the midfield 3 imo.

Whenever Seedorf played Pirlo's role, he impressed me, but he also can play as attacking midfielder both in the centre as wide. If we play our 4-3-3 I hope to see a playmaker (Pirlo, Seedorf, Fossati), a DM (Ambrosini, Flamini, Gattuso, Strasser), and someone who offers pace and hopefully also movement (Boateng, Flamini, Merkel).

Against weaker teams, or when we are not winning during a game you can play with both a playmaker (Pirlo) and an attacking midfielder (Seedorf). Else I hope Ibrahimovic will do partly the attacking midfield role (then Pato can go to CF position), but also Ronaldinho can do that partly. Let's say I want to see a lot of movement, which I believe we had against Lecce. I believe Allegri will do a great job here.

I think Seedorf is the best Pirlo 'alternative' we have. But my solution would be not to play with a Deep lying playmaker like Pirlo if he's out. Something like this:

CF
LS-------RS
Mid------------Mid
Def. Mid
WB DC DC WB
Goal

As Opposed to

CF
LS-----------RS
Mid Pirlo Mid
WB DC DC WB
Goal

Let Strasser/Ambro/Gattuso play as a heavy Def. Mid and let the other Mids take a slightly more attacking role. With Pirlo out, he won't need any bodyguards if a bodyguard is playing his position.
