So far..I hope more technical players will be added such as Sahin, Hernanes etc. We only need one then we will look very solid.

i was wondering guys what if we play using 4-2-3-1 formation instead of 4-3-1-1 and the team gonna look like as follow

----------------Ibra------------------
Cassano--------Prince--------Sharawy
---------Noce------Montolivo---------
--Balzaretti--Acerbi--Thiago---Abate--
-------------HugoLoris----------------

Both Cassano and Shaarawy will devastating opponent's formation from both flanks with their skill and speed, while prince can go through the middle

With this i thought we will be able to match english team or barca :)

nocerino is the weak link there

if we replace him with a WC midfielder then its ok

The Dual Fullback Tactic (6-2-2)

-------------------------Abbiati----------------------------

---------Di Sciglio---Acerbi---T. Silva---Antonini
--Abate------------------------------------------Didac Vila

-----------------Montolivo-----Boateng--------

----------Ibrahimovic----------------Cassano--------


Why is this a genius formation? Because it utilizes defenders as pseudo-midfielders and midfielders as pseudo-forwards.

Why is there no DM in the lineup? Because the strong 4-men defense in the centre simply pushes up to be the defensive midfield, and creates multiple lines of 2-2 when the need arises.

What is the need for dual FBs on either side? This almost completely prevents the opponents' wingers from being effective, as well as creates situations of 2 vs 1 in the wing at every instant. Fundamentally, Di Sciglio and Antonini will defend while Abate and Vila will attack.

What are the roles of the two CMs? Both Montolivo and Boateng will play simple passes to the flying wingbacks and to the forwards. They do not need to worry about defensive duties at all, as the 4 defenders in the middle will always be pushing up and breaking down play.

What will be won with this lineup? Scudetto, Coppa Italia, Champions League.

Please feel free to ask more questions.

Yes, that's a valid question. The 6-2-2 will also help in cutting costs and thus lead to financial prudence. Your squad of 23 will require 12 defenders and 3 goalkeepers, and only 8 offensive players. Since the market for offensive players are significantly more expensive, Milan's total transfer budget and wage bill will come down by investing more on defensive players.

Let us move to the 6-2-2 and usher in a happy era of FFP.

Any Tottenham midfielder (Van der Vaart, Modric, Bale, perhaps even Sandro) would be a starter for us. I can't imagine Galliani is serious that our market is closed.

We don't have the funds but this team is in serious need of a quality injection in midfield.

he's too precious to be risked, we should keep him next to Galliani where he is safe and far away from those beasts that run around on that field full of grass.

He's a true Milanista but we have to give young LBs some chances. He should start in all derbies, he's experienced and consistent, see it's not that I forgot him, I consider him a senatore :D

with what we currently have-

--------------Abbiatti---------------
--Abate--Acerbi--Mexes--De Sciglio--
---Prince--Ambro--Monty--Nocerino---
--------Pato-------Cassano----------

Use Prince and Nocerino's b2b talents as faux wingers that can help the defense a bit, and use Cassano to feed Pato like he did to Pazzini at Sampdoria

Emanuelson is the logical left-midfielder. B2B mids don't play that wide. Too bad for Nocerino. :o

Also had 4-4-2 in mind, the same line-up except Urby in, Nocerino out.

Just to be clear, Acerbi is left footed, he will likely play at LCB not RCB

Even now, with all this departures, I still think that we have the best team in the league. Only thing what this team really need is luck with injuries and I'm sure that they can compete for title.

Pato
Cassano - Robinho
Montolivo - Flamini - Prince
Urby/Didac-Acerbi-Mexes-Abate/DS
Abbiati​

I think that this would be very balanced formation. If we can get De Jong or Diara on cheap. Sahin and Kaka also. Plus we can play either of Monto or Noce in that rcm position.

That's not the worst team ever. But of we add Kaka, M'bwia, Balzaretti then we become good.

That's better than our 11/12 team

no,

1: Yepes is better than Acerbi
2: Abate is useless attacking wise, and you want him as wingback? De Sciglio please
3: we need a duo in central defensive midfield

Robinho, Pato
Boateng
Emanuelson, Montolivo, Khedira, De Sciglio
Yepes, Yanga-Mbiwa, Mexes
Abbiati

Don't believe we'll be getting Khedira though, but just used your signings as well.

Yes! With Kaká we have to really...

Pato up top, with Kaká and one of Boateng and Robinho behind, should work great.

Pato(El Shaarawy)
Kaká(Emanuelson), Robinho/Boateng

Wish we'd be getting one more striker.
