Now that Montolivo is injured we'll probably end up playing either
a 4-2-3-1 with
De Jong Muntari (Poli)
Menez Honda El Shaarawy (Saponara)
Balotelli (Pazzini)
or a 4-3-3
Honda(Poli) De Jong Muntari
Menez (Honda) El Shaarawy (Saponara)
Balotelli (Pazzini)
Poli will either be a wild card since he can switch either with the right CM or the right winger ... or if we end up selling De jong, he'll have to step up and play in his place
Both formations will depend a great deal on how good Honda Menez El Shaarawy and Balotelli play. Especially if we sell Robinho, I think loaning Birsa was a mistake ... it will be doubtful that we'll find another decent AM backup with a 600k salary.
Cristante and Saponara remain the unknown.
