Not sure about such a static and limited striker in a 4-3-3. i like 4-3-3 with free roaming forwards like Barca. Matri would be better suited in a 4-2-3-1 getting service from the wingers and the attacking midfielder imo.

TBH, I'm not sure Matri is that static. In any case, he's certainly not Trezeguet with his heading ability nor Drogba with his strenght. If we had Trez I would completely agree with having the play go through the wings, however I think matri is a decently mobile striker, he's scored a few goals for us moving into space and running onto the ball shooting.

In any case, we could use Quag there and have an ultra-mobile striker force.

that's exactly why.

 

[alvin_89er]

Why? Unless Melo does one of his 'brain no function' fuck-ups it'd be fine.

Their mobility is shit IMO., And theirs no link between midfield - attack. BTW what is the purpose of Marchisio?

 

[Juve_Kosova]

I think that the Melo - Pirlo centre , would be a tragedy unfortunately

Agree if we play a flat 4-4-2!.. But in a 4-2-3-1 a Melo Pirlo would work perfekt..

 

[Ahmed]

unless Claude Makelele dies and his soul possesses Melo ,it will not work.

Carletto (4-3-1-2): Buffon; Cassani, Bonucci, Chiellini, Coentrão; Lassana, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pastore; Aguero, Matri.

Matri's movement is decent for someone of his size, but I don't think he's suited to such formations. Quag would be a better choice.
Also in 4-3-3- you need someone who's good on the ball and can beat his man, that's not Matri. His heading is decent and so is his ball holding abilities which should be enough for him to succeed as a lone striker, atlhough it would be much better if Juve find a proper world class striker instead.

Wouldn't pass that much the 100M budget if Marotta managed wisely the deals... ok, I forgot we still have Marotta.

Thats Aguero and Neymar tho.

 

[Brujitas]

If Pirlo is in the game for good , i think a 4-3-3 is more suitable.
With only Melo in his side, who is a good player , but in my opinion , capable for the best and the worst at the same time , it's possible ( for the time being , let's say only possible ) that we could struggle. Yes Pirlo can dictate the tempo of the game , but he wont run so much, he wont press, he wont defend strongly, so all this would be up to Melo. It's too much of a job i think for one man. To conclude , i believe that a Melo - Pirlo centre is full of quality but also lacks movement ( i hope you get what i mean, it's possible i dont use the right word) and ability to conect properly the defensive line with the attack.
This ,and moreover, i find it hard to trust Melo's stability and Pirlo's age and injury proneness.

 

[Trequartista]

If we play the alleged 4-2-4, we will need defensive fullbacks, especially so we can use Pirlo. Beck and Sakho should do the trick.

Coach:Conte

Buffon
Beck-Bonucci-Chiellini-Sakho
Pirlo-Lass
Krasic............-.............Bastos
Matri-Aguero​

In=Beck(8M), Sakho(20M), Lass(Swap for Melo), Bastos(15M), Pirlo(free), Aguero(35M), Matri(15,5 M), Quag(10,5M)=104 M euros

Out=Iaquinta, Sissoko, Giovinco, Amauri, etc.=~20 M euros

If our board is serious about Conte and his 4-4-2/4-2-4, we need this kind of investment and these players.

 

[Nedvěd]

Thats Aguero and Neymar tho.

Yeah but it'd be better if the three forwards are good on the ball, it would be nice for example for the central of the three to drop deep and one of the wider forwards taking place. Aguer-Quag-Neymar can nicely interchange positions.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Meh

Buffon

Isla - Chiellini - Bonucci - Ziegler

Krasic - Melo - Pirlo - Bastos

Aguero - Quag

--

Buffon

Isla - Chiellini - Bonucci - Ziegler

Marchisio - Melo - Pirlo

Krasic - Matri - Aguero

Sakho would cost less than 20m IMO. Pirlo is not a two-man central midfield player

yep.

 

[Trequartista]

Yeah but they will obviously use Pirlo in a two man central midfield if Conte is the coach. Therefore, we need defensive fullbacks, especially since the two wingers will not track back.

 

[Salvo]

If we did want to have more defensive RB's I would have no problem with Sorensen as a starter.

If Bastos comes here to don't track back, then it's pointless his coming. For that we have Giovinco.
