Milannews says that getting Ibra, or Jackson Martinez dont rule out one another because we are looking to play with two strikers, and looking to offload Menez&Cerci if the opportunity arises.
Let's face is, Menez was good last season but he won't sit on the bench, as much of a luxury as it would be to have Menez coming off the bench if Martinez or Ibra are injured or tired, it's not realistic. Menez had the best season of his career, surely he's looking for a bigger contract or to progress somewhere along those lines. Maybe a move will be best for both worlds. I've been reading that Miha wants to play a 4-4-2, but not having even been officially presented as our new coach, I'm not sure if I'm believing that, because wasnt his favoured formation a 4-3-3 at Samp?
Getting Ibra back will keep me up at night until the first game of the season, he's a one man team himself and I've missed him so much. I dont care who else we get, I have something to look forward to with Ibra.
I agree with you Dev, specifically on two things. 1) Kondogbia for 35m is too much, I think we can do better; Gundogan, try for Verratti? Heck even a more offensive player (albeit that we dont really need) like Pastore I'd prefer. 2) ALLAN, he will be a fantastic player! I've been able to keep an eye on him, and I have to say that I'm impressed. Impressive motor on the kid, he's not too young either, he's the perfect age for the step up. Call me crazy but, faster more agile version of NDJ?
