Yea keep the 4-3-3 Hernanes is not needed IMO. And besides if we play with the 4-3-1-2 hour fullbacks have got to have 2 pairs of lungs and need to be ridiculously good.
I am personally against the 4312 , but on the right side we would be covered with lischt caceres , the problem would be the left side that needs someone to replace de ceglie
Do you guys think he'd be an adequate bench player for next season?
Vertonghen would be pretty good in my opinion , he is a good defender and has only 1 year of contract left if i remember correctly (would come at a reasonable price) + he has good legs that in our defense except bonucci noone posseses and i think he can also play lb (need confimation on this)
guys hernanes is a flexible player.
just because he plays behind forward in lazio doesn't mean he can't play as a cm. he can play there and is actually quite good as a more attacking cm.
ffs you peasants giach who was a winger most of his career is doing ok a a cm, and he is an average player. hernanes would be great here and would do the link up with vucinic for attacking moves quite well.
Just because giac has played doesn't mean hernanes will , plus giac has played cm with good resulsts , but you can still notice that he kinda plays like a wing . First he plays with his head down , a cm should always play with his head up , second every time he gets the ball he starts running forward . Imediatly after padoin came we haven't seen giac anymore in cm and it is not that padoin is much better , in fact as a player in overall giac is sghltly better and he had even much more time with the team and knows the tactics but still got benched .
If hernanes starts playing cm he could have the tendency to go forward at the place he is used to play and could leave a hole in middfield in adition i doubt he can do the defensive work marchisio and vidal do .
Who wouldn't like him , but i doubt we can afford him
