it is happening people.
any link to support that???
that's all i got.MVB has been assigned the #6 shirt previously assigned to Strootman..
Oh mai god.
Were getting Strootman!
OMG if we get Strootman....
For 10 Mil he is a steal. A good player.
Sell Robinho off and bring in Ganso or Hernanes with the Money....
Any money left over...Get LODI!
Strootman doesn't look like an anchor to me. He would play on the sides in a diamond midfield.
This move isn't happening; Montolivo, Muntari + Ambrosini can and will be played in the DM position.
He does to me when I read:
7M and a free tie.
Anywhere around 10mil is a good price.
the way i'm reading allgri's statements w/ montolivo. He'll play anchor, which is fine. He's defensively as adept as someone like xabi alonso.
And we want to flank him with guys like strootman, asamoah, witsel. Similar to what juve do w/ marchisio/vidal.
Personally I'd be content if we just got 1 of those 3. I know no chance at 2.
strootman--Montolivo--noc/flams, looks like a good upgrade to me
He does to me when I read:
Montolivo has more experience, and Serie A experience, so it's okay to have him as anchor and Strootman on the side. Strootman will be a good help for Montolivo anyway. I just want Strootman whether he plays anchor or side-central, because I simply want to have what he offers being added to our midfield. Also his potential/price is a must get.
All those guys played as anchor before. Muntari did a good job there when Allegri tested him.
The videos of Strootman show him making runs to the final third all the time. This atribute would be wasted, cause an anchor need to be way more careful positionally.
Seems to me like he would be way more natural with more freedom to move forward.
As you watch a lot Eredivisie, would you say Strootman is definitely future world Class?
I am not really that pleased with Muntari as anchor, so I made my post mostly because of his name. Strootman is easily a better pick. Ambrosini obviously is a good choice, but can't play often. Also nothing wrong with Montolivo, having Strootman next to him then, but it's not like Strootman is no fit for anchor. Just like Montolivo he is a pretty complete midfield. I would love both in our midfield, and then we will see who should play where. That you see him go forward in videos doesn't mean he will do that constantly when being played as anchor. He's very intelligent.
You can't know that for sure, but to me he has that potential.
