So now that the transfer window is over and we know our full squad, where do you think we'll finsh, what do you think about our strength/weaknesses, best line up and so on...

PS, last year most of you were way off Serie A wise http://www.milanfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Serie A - 4th
Coppa - Final

Best line-up:

Lopez
Abate - Zapata - Alex - MDS
Poli - De Jong - Honda
Menez - Torres - El Shaa

I'm only unsure about the CBs. Normally I would have gone with Mexes and Rami, but Zapata and Alex impressed so much against Lazio that maybe they could form a pretty nice partnership.

I like your line-up and really wish Pippo would try it out, I'm hoping that mezz'ala role will be taken by Honda and Bonaventura. Honda is doing okay on the wing and even managing to look good, which mostly says that he's acclimatising well into the squad whereas last season he looked out of place, but you can tell that he can't do what he does best there, which is being the creative force behind the side.

Also, I think I'd still go with Rami-Mexes as my favourite pairing, Zapata is too mistake prone. Alex though was a rock and his aerial ability would be missed if he's not included. But I would probably never pair him with Mexes as they're both a bit on the slow side, although positionally they're the best 2 of the bunch imo

And I really do think that Van Ginkel will most likely take the starting spot from Poli. Poli has been a bit of a let down as of late, I do think he struggles without a good passer to play off of, but I think Van Ginkel will take that spot. I looked at a couple of vids on youtube, he looks seriously good, very composed on the ball
