My type of football, hard to break down and clinical on the break. Ah the days Juventus used to play like that.

Any formation is fine by me provided we have the right players and coach to play it. Every big team plays differently, inter, barca, arsenal, united, chelsea....all differ...but they have the players to pull off whatever their coach is trying to dish out.
The 4-4-2 interests me as i think it will bring some stability back to the team, we looked poor structurally all season. cassani, criscito, bonucci, vargas and a few other important signings and we may be back in business.

Catennaccio was dead even since the concept of playing a libero was wiped off from football...Also catenaccio in the crude sense also stresses more on zonal marking as much as man marking.
Modern day catennaccios, played by Capello, Cuper, Hitzfeld and Sir Alex(against Barcelona and Arsenal) is what Inter demonstrated against Barcelona and Bayern...Inter had an organized backline and an attack that does not need more than two chances to score. Modern day catennaccios are all about confidence, organziation and controlling the tempo through out 90 minutes
With flair players like Eto, Sneijder and Cambiasso are sitting back and defending it can be only a matter of minutes they increased their tempo whenever they went a goal down. In the case of Bayern, Robben was the only threat, once they tired him out, it was an easy meat for Inter but what they did at San Siro and later at Nou camp was amazing with too many cracks playing for Barca.

How do you know clubs avoid Pazzini? Just because we get linked doesn't mean we are even following him, and vice-versa. I'm sure enough teams have been following him, he has been scoring goals after all. I bet English teams have looked at him, especially as he scored a hat trick in the first game at the new Wembley.
Look at Rolando Bianchi, a limited player who had one good season, Man City picked him up for €13m which is a fortune for a club like Reggina. English teams have scouts everywhere, even at U15 level in Italy.

I don't consider what these teams are doing to have anything to do with catenaccio.
Any system that doesn't involve a libero and man-markers ain't catenaccio.
What Inter and Man Utd did successfully was ust sit deep, hold shape and play with lots of pace on the break. A pretty bog standard defensive target, they just did it better than most teams do it.

Pazzini is a poacher. When you evaluate a poacher all you look at is his finishing ability. It's good, sure. But we also have Trezeguet who has good finishing ability. So what is the point of paying $20M for Pazzini when if you look at him and Trezeguet there isn't much difference and if there is, it's not worth $20M.
