New signing
Welcome
Great thing about him is his versatility at a high level
I'm pretty certain we can play him anywhere across the 3 mids without a significant drop in Quality
In a sense he is the ultimate squad player, I do feel he could be Boss/ambro's successor and become a mainstay in out midfield for quite some time
People shouldn't look to him to be a playmaker/creative hub ...what he is ,is a defensive midfielder with the ability to contribute to the attack ..I think he could be that creative foil we've been sorely lacking ...something Dorf was to Pirlo,Iniesta is to Xavi,Van der Vaart is to Modric ...Denilson was to Cesc
...what GOETZE was to sahin
...someone technically capable enough to share some responsibility in regards to keeping possession ...someone who is also good enough that both would require attention ,thus leaving others open /available....
I feel he has the same problem as Ambro ,esp. when he played in a 2-man CM (4-4-2) ...trying to do too much. Better coaching along with better players will alleviate creative burden on him and I think we will see a more consistent player.
One of his best season in recent times has been in an almost carbon copy of our midfield…the 2008/2009 run, he was immense and the similarities are evident
--Monto-----Melo----Donadal-----
-Pirlo-------Rino----Ambro-----
The positions are interchangeable, but I think you get the idea …furthermore his combination play and form was best when he played with Jovetic as Cam …which bodes well for the future (If we do indeed sign Pastore)
Way I see it
Short term: Squad/utility player
Long term: Anchor man
Like the way Milan are heading with regards to transfers started from the back
(n/h) ,we’ve signed complete players, all with high technical ability
GRAZIE G+B
I imagine this might be the future
--------------Pastore------------
Stagger-----Monto-----Boa—----
---------------Elsha-------------
Fossati----Calvano----Strasser
What people should further consider is that if he arrives, Dorf would be expendable
