Would be nice to have a winger who can shoot again.

that's why we should get him. not too pricey and after fred's description i like him even more than before. he could really be krasic's counterpart.

Thanks Fred.

 

[Fred]

Sure thing mate.

 

[Nenz]

He really can score some amazing goals outside the box.

 

[mfdoom]

with Afellay in place of Krasic

WHAT? Krasic is better than Afellay.

 

[Fred]

Yes he is

 

[Petrol]

There is scientific proof that the acquisition of this guy would at least guarantee third place in Serie A

 

[mukumsplau]

i am really excited about this transfer....exactly the kind of winger we need...krasic has proven himself to be a meek winger so far...he could learn a thing or two michel

 

[Red]

He's been playing on the right and left hand side of a 5 man midfield in Lyon the past couple of years. So bringing him in does not necessarily mean you guys are going for a 4-4-2.

With all the talk of different SS being linked to Juve, I don't see them playing 4-3-3/4-5-1 with Bastos and Krasic as the wingers.

 

[Trequartista]

I just hope that Conte knows what he is doing, Pirlo needs protection in midfield in order to be fully efficient.

Ah, thats a different story. I thought you were implying that signing Bastos in itself would mean a 4-4-2.

 

[Red]

Nah, not just Bastos.

He's just one of a number of factors that seem to point to 4-4-2.

 

[Suns]

Nah, not just Bastos.

He's just one of a number of factors that seem to point to 4-4-2.

But then again signing Pirlo should speak against it.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Can't we utilize different formations depending on who we are playing against?

 

[Ahmed]

we can.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

if conte wants to

Ever since Del Neri....sadly no

 

[Red]

But then again signing Pirlo should speak against it.

That's the whole problem.

Having Pirlo means you shouldn't play 4-4-2, but pretty much every other move is suggesting 4-4-2 is the most likely formation.

If it wasn't for Pirlo being in the team, I'd have no issue with playing 4-4-2.

 

[Red]

Ever since Del Neri....sadly no

Since Delneri?

Did Capello ever not play 4-4-2?

Deschamps was only flexible when injuries forced him to be.

Ranieri played 4-3-3 a few times, but was steadily 4-4-2 the rest of the time.

Ferrara was just about the only one who changed things about a bit, but that was probably due to how poorly the squad had been put together for the planned 4-3-1-2 system.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

That's stupid. I'll admit I don't know the strengths and weaknesses of different formations or how they work in practice, but to my extremely limited knowledge it at least makes sense to have more than one working formation so there wouldn't be this problem.
