I'm not thinking about signings, specially after Marotta spent a shitload of money this summer and we run a great risk of not making the CL.
Not making CL would be an absolute and utter disaster. Our future relies on keeping at least Morata, and specially Pogba. With no CL next season, no chance we'll keep these guys. The club will take 2 steps down after doing so well the past years.
What I want is Allegri getting his shit together and playing the best starting 11, with best players on the field playing their typical roles.
This means a 4312 with Bonucci-Barzagli, 2 overlapping fullbacks, Marchisio-Khedira-Pogba, Pereyra as an AM, Dybala-Morata front duo.
While Pereyra recovers, insert Cuadrado in and get wins. Play Dybala. DO NOT PLAY MORATA AS A FUCKING WINGER.
IF we can pull this and make the 3rd place in the league, focus on keeping Morata and Pogba. Get rid of the trash. Sell Caceres, one of Mandzukic/Zaza, Hernanes, Sturaro, let Padoin go. Focus on developing Alex Sandro and Rugani. Sign an AM, a LW, a RB, bring Berardi, and a CB. Only quality players.
But for now, we won't fix this team in january. Marotta made Allegri's job much tougher than it should be, but Allegri MUST do a better job. 4312 with Pereyra is the way to go, the team is more balanced and solid. Pereyra did pretty good last year in CL, I have no idea why he was so overlooked this season.
Let's get that 3rd place. Can't even believe I'm saying this lol. Kinda sad. What a mess Marotta/Allegri did.
