How come Nagatomo can cross well? His crossing is awful and he has never impressed me about his quality.
I hope he will prove me wrong next season though.
Naga certainly can cross.. not at inter yet maybe... look back what he did in AFC...

Naga not even close. Maicon probably but then he needs to score more than these numbers.Lavezzi, Zarate scores average 6-7 goals per season only and you believe Naga and Maicon cant do it???
He asked what other BIG club...^Milan
What other big club has no wingers?

Naga scored 2 goals in 10games with interNaga not even close. Maicon probably but then he needs to score more than these numbers.
Doesn't mean it's a similar story if he plays as a wide forward consistently, it's simply not that he has that "forward gene". Both Naga and Maic can display their strength if they have the space to combine with other players starting in our own half or the midfield and when they are able to push forward from this area. You would simply take off the elementary parts of their game when they're stuck to the corner flags. They have better chances to score as FBs. That's why Mou or any other coach has never ever put Maicon as winger (or even in midfield) from the start.Naga scored 2 goals in 10games with inter

It's a bit tricky actually. Faraoni was left out because we need Santon as CT. If Santon is sold/loaned, we still need one CT so Faraoni can't be used. Maybe Santon out (sell/loan), Obi as WB and Crisetig (CT) to midfield?
Also in defence Caldirola is needed because of CT-status. So if we get new CB, who will be left out? Cordoba?
In attack, who do we left out if we get a new winger (Palacio, Zarate?) ? Coutinho or Alvarez?
