Monti on his good days is very good. He wins balls and disperses well. He never was the creative engine that he was advertised to be, but otherwise does his job. On his bad days, he really really hurts the team. He will miss occasional tackles BUT worst of all he gives the ball away either through errant passes or holding on to it for too long and getting dispossessed.
Replacing him is so tough but is the ultimate step to getting this team to the next level. I have no doubt that a World Class replacement would propel us to CL. We seemed to have found the other parts around him, but he really is central to this side transitioning from defense to attack.
Miha leaving would be one of the worst things we have done in a while. Aside from the impact of getting players to adapt to ANOTHER system, what player in the right mind would join a club without CL, with fans that don't show up to matches, immense pressure from media and coaches that barely stick around one season? We are poisoning our own transfer market!
