with a signing like this, my hope was to have a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-2-3-1 rather than a 4-3-3.
the only concern i have when it comes to getting gaitan, is his goal return. maybe it will change with a different role, but if that's not the case, then his lack of goals might make us play 4-3-3 where he will be a floating part of the middle three.
i do understand that the difference between the three formations is very subtle, but it is that subtle differences that can change the expectation from and impact of a player like gaitan.
in this regard hazard is better, going by stats. maybe it is cause of the role they play, but that's a part of what/whom we are choosing to buy.
but overall, gaitan will provide what we really don't have and have been missing. he has good talent on the ball, and a good left foot, and can play the role silva and mata play. hence i would be happy if we sign him, especially after the failure to do so in the last two summers.
