So all the news outlets seem to point towards a 3 man defence but not in a Conte mould
I have no idea what we are going to do


De Ligt Bonucci Demiral

Cuadrado Arthur Bentancur Kulusevski

Dybala Ronaldo
Lacazette


+ Danilo, Rugani, Chiellini, Romero?, Rabiot, Locatelli, Fagioli, Pellegrini, One experienced striker and one young attacking player?
such a waste of kulusevski :sad:

I really hope the reports are wrong. Its such a shit formation and the best in Europe absolutely rape 3 at the back. Pirlo only played with that system under conte so he must see some benefit to it. We don't exactly have that midfield or the brilliance of the back three as we did back then.

Out of all the teams he played with you would think the milan era would scream out to him most. That lotti team was magic.

Whil I agree, I'd prefer a back 4 but it all comes down to how it is interpreted.


It could also be done like this

Same defence

Cuadrado Arthur Bentancur Goosens

Kulusevski Ronaldo
Dybala

Now id assume that the point of it is that the two wing backs would occupy more space nearing the final third allowing Kulusevski to drop a bit more while Ronaldo has total freedom and Dybala can be used to pull people away from the box. Boh, who knows, it's all a guessing game at the moment. Would be nice to hear from Pirlo to get an idea on what he wants to do.

There is also rumours that we want Hateboer and not Goosens.

Back 3 makes no sense. Especially when de ligt is out for 3months for his shoulder injury. Back 3 never wins the ucl also.

4312 or 442 please as we need dybala and ronaldo up front centrally with freedom to move. imagine trying to defend ronaldo dybala when they are all ove the pitch.

Our interest in Thomas Partey shows that Pirlos knows that we need a DM that can cover the backline. We cant play Arthur as deep lying playmaker like pjanic/pirlo/jorginho.

Depaul will be a sub at most

Lacazette as a started? meh

We may have this next year but hopefully we sign one more midfilder of WC quality.

So far:

- Perin, Atalanta
- Costa, United
- De Sciglio, Valencia
- Rugani, Benevento/Valencia
- Khedira
- Higuain

With nothing taking some serious shape yet. We have until October though, but we need to hurry up.
