I understand.
But if Conte wants wingers and it seems he does, then Menez wouldn't be bad at all especially at that price. I doubt anyone wants Menez instead of Di Maria, Mata and the likes but as you often remind us we don't have 30mln to spend on one player.
Oh Mata is just a 1/100 chance dream. Further deteriorating relation with mourinho, loan to juve, juve buys. 1in 100 chance indeed.
but the thing is, getting better. When pirlo is gone, our strenght will be that massive central midfield, but it lakes a creative playmaker
The reason i oppose wingers, is that we would just need 1 well fitting playmaker to get an extremely solid team that get the most out of the players we got
Where as 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 would see eighter see pogba+vidal in inferior roles, or tevez wide where he is less effective.
Thats fine on its own, if the winger(s) can make up for it. But thats exactlly the issue here. Wingers that make up for less effective tevez and/or pogba and vidal in inferior roles, thats quite a big feat. We cant afford those, and Menez cannot do that
