Pogba-Marchisio-Vidal is the way forward.

Pirlo is a legend but I don't think we should extend his contract now that we have a clear alternative with Marchisio performing well as the anchor. We thus look much more solid defensively and if we can sing quality wingers, they'll fill the creativity void Pirlo's absence will create.

I thought his passing was a bit off today and it took away the tempo of our attacks, primarily in the first half. Besides that, I'm glad to see him playing more.

And Marchisio is damn good at the passing game. Sure, he's not Pirlo but he's very secure in his passing ability and did very well distributing the ball all over.

I wonder how this would've looked in Europe with the 352 and Marchisio playing Pirlo's role. He's been amazing in defense, and while he doesn't have Pirlo's vision, he's allowing both Vidal and Pog to play higher up the field than they would alongside Pirlo. I like this, but I just hope Conte doesn't get married to this idea and act stubborn about continuing with this at the cost of bringing in wingers to give us an alternate formation.

Release Pirlo and give those money to Pogba as new contract.

I like the new version of MVP - Vidal - Marchisio - Pogba is the best we can do right now.
Ditto.

Pirlo contract is worth 3.5 million a season. I think we should just transfer his wages over to pogba.

I wonder if Inter is willing to do a Pirlo for a Kovacic swap :D

all hail zach's vision of Marchisio taking over from Pirlo and being our Martinez/Busquets


Zacheryah - ahead of the curve
Bring back Zack.
