If Montolivo is used just in front of the defence (like Pirlo in Juventus nowadays or in Milan the last 10 years), Allegri will be able to put two physical midfielders (box to box ones) around him ...
We could look a lot like Juventus in our midfield next season (same kind of players placed the same way), except that we will use a central AM behind our two strikers instead of two "wingers" ...
If Strootman is the player that many of you said (a kind of MVB a bit more attacking minded), he would be perfect to play in one of our midfield spots around Montolivo ... And the other spot is naturally the one of Nocerino who earned it this season and has to be confirmed (and then, if he doesn't manage to play like this season again, there will be other players waiting to take his place on our bench).
I'd also like us to have a new AM, someone able to organize the game (depending on the way Montolivo plays in his role) OR someone like Kaka', someone who tries to go forward when he has the ball and is able to make the difference ... Boateng isn't this kind of player (don't get me wrong, Boateng is a hell of a player when he is on form, but he isn't the kind of player I want for our AM position). Actually, Boateng would be ideal if he is able to play again as a CM : we would have Nocerino/Boateng, Montolivo/Strootman, Strootman/Muntari (or other player).
But I'm probably too hopeful, if we get this Strootman guy, I think it will be enough as I don't see us spending more than 30M this summer, especially if we don't sell one of our big players (and there are a lot of rumours about Thiago Silva leaving, the Summer is going to be very long !!).
About Maxi Lopez, I hope he will stay because he bleeds red and black, and we need that kind of player who will always give his heart to play for us !!
One of the rumours nowadays is that Robinho or Pato will be sold, and that would let us with Ibra, Cassano, Pato, Maxi Lopez and El Sharaawy, which would be enough IMO ... The main problem of the rumours are that it seems we are going to try to get someone new in our attack, but 6 players is too much for 2 positions !! We can't make everyone happy and we can't keep everyone fit !!
DOesn't it look like a poor version of the Galliani strategy (yep, this strategy, asking for expensive players while you admit you have no money has a name, and it is called the Galliani strategy !!) ?

Also, Santos have publicly said they will speak to Robinho while he's on holiday in Brazil to try and convince him to join this summer. Given he's still contracted to us, surely this is an illegal approach? They also say we want at least the same amount we paid for him but don't have the funds (we won't agree a loan at this point). I really don't get what they're thinking, as they publicly said they won't give up their stars (Ganso and Neymar), are desperate to bring Binho back, but admit they have no money for him. Even if they agree terms with him, how are they even going to pay for him?

One should not speak ill of the dead.
