QUOTE (X-Offender @ Dec 13 2013, 09:16 PM)  Remember when he wanted Lazzari at all cost? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Yeah. Pitty he didn't get him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) QUOTE (X-Offender @ Dec 14 2013, 04:02 PM) I think Honda is above Aquilani/Montolivo level. And I'm very excited about his signing. We finally have someone who can create something out of nothing. He is. But I fear a similar development to Robinho. I saw him play against Bayern, he did create much, but his finishing was appalling. |

Nah, Robinho is a Brazilian. That's so typical of them. Japanese have a different culture. They're hard workers. And Honda has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He's always been a Milan fan, and having the chance to play for your favourite team at the age of 27 is something people don't get everyday. |

Good thing Honda is mostly a midfielder, and Robinho mostly a forward, so... Honda does have better shot technique, better long shot if anything; good to have as midfielder. |

I'm really not going to get very excited about Honda unless I actually see him play a few games for us. I have not seen much of him but from what I've seen I wasn't really that excited.

On paper he looks good but then so have so many players we've signed and they've been terrible. |

According to Sky/Mediaset, we've reached an agreement with Torino for Danilo D'Ambrosio, 25-y-o fullback that can play both positions. Constant is set to leave.
We're also very interested in Hernanes and Parolo. For the former, we could offer Matri + cash, for the latter we could directly swap him with Niang. Link If I remember correctly, D'Ambrosio had a great match against us. But honestly, it just looks another half-arsed signing, like the various Mesbah, Acerbi etc. As for Hernanes, I'd be thrilled. Since we're getting Honda as well, imagine this: Abate - Mexes - Rami - MDS Montolivo - De Jong Honda - Hernanes - Kaká Balotelli 4-2-3-1. That's a scudetto line-up! |

If we had Hernanes, I would go with:
Abbiati Abate Mexes Rami DS De Jong Montolivo Hernanes Kaka Honda Balo |

And I have Hernanes deployed as deep lying playmaker and you have as an attacking mid. It won't make much of a difference once the plan is laid in action. Hernanes will obviously attack more, Honda and Kaká will prioritise their sides etc. This post has been edited by X-Offender: Dec 17 2013, 05:35 PM |

Don't both push a lot, and cover too little? Mexes for sure, and I think Rami does as well. |
