I dont see a one year wonder as a sure starter for both this season and the next. He would only be a starter now, not if we got someone as valuable as Alonso, or if Marchisio fulfills his WC potential!
He is basically another sub in my books, either directly, or indirectly, like turning Marchisio into one!
I dont see far more potential to Dagostino, than the one i see in Marchisio and we already have Poulsen for depth, i think its enough!
On our RB for ex we dont have nothing as potent as Marchisio or as valuable alternative as Poulsen.
Therefore i dont see this addition as a vital one, never tactically or strategically!
The conditions i would accept Dagostino would have been;
-To fix our persistent issue in the defense first, according the necessary funds there.
And then,
-IF we make the necessary funds and squad slots from the sales of both Tiago and Almiron.
-And if we surely decide to field a 4-3-3, 4-3-1-2, or any other non winger formation, that would guarantee the need for 3 starter CM/DMs and 3 backups. Then and only then, i would see the necessity for one more DM/CM. Considering that Camo, Marchisio, CZ and can play in the CM role efficiently, but none of them can be the dynamic DM, Sissoko is, even, i would rather choose as hardcore DM.
I dont see those conditions to be fulfilled and i think that atm, this transfer is a waste of funds. Dagostino is not the wc player, or even the wc player that worth sacrificing our priorities. Alonso is and Aquilani hold that potential, but Dagostino is as promising as Almiron used to be at Empoli...
And above all, he is not a priority!! Why should buy him instead of Poulsen, but what is done is done, we are not going to fix a mistake by committing another one.
We have trusted our flank to Grygera and Zebina for more than enough time, lets not neglet it again, only because Dagostino can dribble better than them, oh and he is Italian...
If we have the abundance of money to buy him, after buying the defenders we need and forwards our board wants, then i m all for him too!
Lets buy 3-4 Dagostinos!! But not instead of half a defender!!!
Our formation is not confirmed, heck our coach is not confirmed, the acquisition of defenders is not confirmed, not even the sale of both of Tiago and Almiron are not confirmed either, why would be interested on Dagostino now?? like we dont have any more important matters to address...
