Allan is great. Under Ancelotti, he is averaging 90%+ passing, 5.2 tackles per game, 1.6 interceptions, and 2.1 dribbling per 90, 1.3 key passes, with very strong long ball accuracy. He is also an engine. He isn't overly creative in the opposition third, but can play good balls. He isn't a scorer either, but he still scored 4 goals & 5 assists last year, while only averaging a shot per game. I'd say his ability on the ball, his engine/tenacity, tackling ability, physicality, and above average passing make him a very effective midfield destroyer. His issue is that he isn't as dangerous in the final third.
Allan isn't some kind of top player but he is a kind we'd need.
We have an awesome attack but we lack balance in the midfield.
Pjanic and Bentancur don't defend that well so we'd need someone like Allan in the mid to cover up for our strikers. Someone who run around for 90mins tackling anyone.
We really need to refresh our midfield this summer.
I don't like Pjanic as a regista. Did he make a good pass for our strikers?
He is a decent passer but not good at defending and neither to give away balls for fast counters for our stikers.
So Next summer we need to revamp our mid and buy at least 2 cbs and someone to replace Sandro if he is stuck on going away.
You may like Bonucci but he has been the reason we conceded so much.
Just look against Cagliari....
watch Bonucci from 3:09 .......... leave me speechless.
To play Bonucci we have to go back playing 3man defense.
I would buy De Ligt and Gayà
Sell Rugani as it's clear we don't believe in the guy.
Salute Barzagli and buy another centre mid.
Try to snatch De Gea for free and salute both Szczney and Perin and bring a experienced second that accept playing little to never.
My couple would be Chiellini-De Ligt and Bonucci-Benatia
For Mid
I'd goodbye Khedira.
pick two between Ndombele,De Jong and Barella.
I'd trade Pjanic for Pogba.
Gimme
Pogba-Ndombele-De Jong
Matuidi-Bentancur-Emre Can
We def need some engine midfielders as Can and Matuidi aren't enough specially given Matuidi age and the kind of job he has to do.
