That;s your opinion, I respect it, but I completely disagree. Sacrificing our starting LB and our best player/most valuable asset for potential, a freebie, and a star CM is definitely not a great mercato in my book. This process of downgrade to upgrade will never get my seal of approval.

Due to the dearth of options @ RB, and the fact that Dumbian is an epic sack of $#@!, I think we might be converting Cuads to RB and have Costa, Martial, and Berna rotating as our starting wingers. Mandzukic is potentially leaving, so that leaves our attack with Higgy, Dybala, Costa, Berna. and possibly Pjaca. Given the formation we play, and our propensity to accumulate injuries, adding both Martial and Morata, especially if we sell both Mandzukic and Pjaca, is not beyond the realm of reason.
