I suppose in a three with someone athletic alongside them then it wouldn't be a problem.
Correct me if I am wrong (I haven't seen too much of Inler just when we play Udinese or the odd Switzerland game) but both Pirlo and Inler like to sit back and if we have a DM covering for them I think we could miss out on an attacking threat from midfield which we lacked this season.
Something isn't adding up...if we sell Melo and Sissoko we have no muscle in midfield...so are we getting a DM to be a rock in midfield to allow Inler and Pirlo to do what they do best?
