Formation, Tactics and what not., 4-4-2 Diamond with Rui Costa ? Options

[Orange_Hitman]

This thread is to discuss what formation is most adapted to our squad considering all the new signings :

Despite Antoine Kombouare's reluctance to give up his precious 4-4-2 last season, one can not but think he will be forced to change his formation towards a 4-2-3-1 adapted specifically for Pastore.

However with the latter's delayed vacation, and Hoarau's regain of form during this summer transfer window, we will most likely start the season with the following 4-4-2 :

---------------------------Sirigu-------------------------
Jallet-------Bisevac---------------Sakho---------Tiene
--------------------------Matuidi-------------------------
------------------------Chantome-----------------------
Menez-----------------------------------------------Nene
------------Gameiro---------------Hoarau--------------

Some uncertainties remain :
- Will Menez be fit by next weekend ? If not what are the alternatives ?
- Ceara or Jallet ? The latter have the advantage considering the Brazilian has only partaken in 1 test game, because he was recovering from injury during the summer. However, the competition will be fierce for the starting Right Back spot.
- Chantome or Bodmer ? Both players have impressed last year and in the friendly pre-season games, however the former seems more fit and have the adequate skills to cover this position in the 4-4-2, Bodmer being more of a traditional slow play-maker.
