I love Tevez but he is looking increasingly ineffective,his natural replacement is Suarez.
Him,Cavani,Aguero and Guidetti would be a mindblowing cocktail of ability,power and hunger.
We said this when we signed Dzeko. Tevez,Dzeko,Aguero and Balotelli look how that planned out. Neither striker can get any confidence behind them due to being benched the game later. Suarez,Cavani & Aguero will want to play every week and its not gunna happen.
A switch to 4-3-3 solves this problem. Anyone have any opinions of how good Silva/Nasri would be in Xavi/Iniesta type roles though? I reckon Modric would be a class signing this summer if we want to play that way next year.
In a 4-3-3 I've always been convinced Nasri would do very well in a Xavi-like role. Not quite at the same level obviously, but he has all the attributes needed. Yaya could also do it.
Iniesta plays as a left sided attacking midfielder/winger for Barcelona, and I'm sure Silva could do a very good job at it. Though again he's not at the same level as his buddy Andrés.
Barca plays with Xavi and Fabregas in front of Busquets. We could mimic that with Nasri and Yaya in front of our DM.
The thing is though, that we have no one even close to being capable of playing the Busquets role. He is very important in the Barca midfield, and according to many of their fans just as important as Xavi.
Our version of Barcelona's 4-3-3 could look like
---------------------------- Hart --------------------------------
------------- Kompany ---------------- Nastasic -------------
Zabaleta ----------------------------------------------- Clichy
---------------------------- ????? -------------------------------
--------------- Yaya -------------------- Nasri ------------------
-- ???? ------------------------------------------------- Silva ---
---------------------------- Aguero ------------------------------
Milner, Sinclair and Silva can play on the wing, but it's a position we clearly need to strengthen. Pedro from Barcelona would be perfect as his comfortable on both wings, have loads of pace and is a good finisher with both feet. Other younger options might be Isco or Deulofeu.
And we need a DM of the highest possible quality. They don't exactly grow on trees though. Benat maybe? Is he good enough?
