Yes. I'm curious to see how useful he is in our system. In theory he should help us transition from defence to offence much faster...as well as be important in a sole striker setup, should we choose to play that 4-5-1 or variant type of formation...not outside the realms of possibility with Ibra in and Pato's injury concerns.
Also I think this will give us chances to rest Pirlo. We don't have to play the DM now if we want to rest Pirlo, Boateng and Seedorf can be the ones to push forward and then the DM to complete a still very strong midfield, plus it would make for a very powerful midfield.
Imo our midfield would still need one more player in order to be complete, not just the starting 3, but enable us to compete in all 3 competitions. Aquilani would have been a perfect player, especially considering Juve swiped him on loan.
