:tup: I don't know where the current obsession with precise labelling of a system came from. Where is the line drawn between 4-2-3-1, 4-4-1-1 and 4-4-2, if you play a free-roaming SS? They are all much of a muchness.

It's just 4-4-2 with attacking wingers. You wouldn't say that a team playing 4-4-2 was playing 2-6-2 just because they used attacking fullbacks, so I don't see why Conte's system is being called 4-2-4. Although, 6-2-1-1 would be quite a good description of how Delneri had Juve playing when...

Of course, Juve should be buying players that suit a system the coach won't play. Feel free to complain about the appointment of 4-4-2 coaches, but you can't complain about players being bought for the coach's system.
