I was thinking about Boateng too, but that would be a bit pretentious.

After a few games now, i have voted Nocerino, in the last few games Allegri has played him on left of mid and he has looked awesome there. He is a character, a worker, a fighter and i have been impressed with him lately. But aquilani also is starting to show some true quality, that we knew he has, but he seems more competent on right side of mid and his tracking back has impressed me. Thats is our starting 3 mids, Aqui, MVB, Nocerino IMHO, they have looked intelligent, mobile and somewhat creative in the last two games.

Now that we are getting some players back from injury and are maybe nearing full strength, then, the transfers of this summer are starting to make some sense. Nice to see Mexes getting on the pitch, Taiwo also, just needs games and confidence, i like the look of him.

Rumours are that Allegri wants Merkel back, signs of actual intelligence from the coach???

I digress.... So far Nocerino has impressed me the most, with his workrate, his involvement in play going forward and defending and his constant movement and determination. I think this guy will become a cult (if not a fans) favourite.
