I agree he is overpriced. 15 mil euros only for a fullback with only half of season in Porto? But again my optimism is with that this could be Leonardo's idea. We bought Kaka and intended to loan him out in his first year, suddenly he took Rui Costa's place. The same with Pato (but with much more money to spend). For me this is similar with management decision to let Leonardo to coach Milan. I am still confused.
What I see from him that Milan really could benefit from it is his phisical strength that helps him to go forward and especially to do his job in defensive role (he looks good enough with respect of the defensive and offensive abilities), something we really have missed for a couple of years. Since Jankulovski played regularly with Milan, the left side has been always our weakness regarding especially our defensive ability. The CBs very often had to cover Janku's task. Left fullback was also the spot that lacked of crosses last year (well a year before last year Janku's ablility to cross was 'covered' by Oddo's terrible crosses
).
We will change our tactic with bringing a tower and utilising our flanks and Cissokho SEEMS able to do the job to serve the strikers and to help the CBs.
