We're replacing 2 (+ Osvaldo) with 1 player? And for 3.5M/year? Clearly not a good idea if we don't intend to add more forwards or change the line up for good.

Starters like Sanchez should be the No.1 priority I agree. However our bench is far from great and Conte himself clearly has issues trusting most of our bench to do a job even against lowly Serie A sides. Hence our insane lack of rotation. We literally run our best players into the ground then make half a teams worth of changes all at once because they can no longer play for a Week.
Even though it would be awful, if we kept the exact same starting XI and upgraded our bench we would be better off for it. As it would allow us to rotate properly in the league and have our key players fit & firing in big European matches. As opposed to our weakened, tired team playing against a fully fit club like Bayern Munich 3 days after grinding out some away fixture in the league as our bench weren't good enough to do it themselves.

Lol, your arguing age isnt a factor. Drogba went to china, must be bc he wanted to compete at the highest level....he tried to milk the last money out of his name, just like he went to the highest payer in gala. He is a mercenary living of past ability and skill. Your arguing 36+ year old footballers at the highest level is common, its not.
Dont tell lies, pretty low wages? Hes on 4m a season now, and would at 3,5m be one of the highest paid players in the squad. And that net, juve would pay 7m to have drogba. Probably high fees to agent and the move is now longer cheap, for what we are really getting.

Now you're just arguing against yourself 
We don't have the youngest squad out there, and if we keep getting these players because they're cheap (for a reason), we're gonna have problems in the recent future replacing them.
Look at Buffon, Barzagli, Pirlo, Lichtsteiner, Tevez and now possibly Drogba. We're gonna get to a point where we need to replace them sooner rather than later, and signing guys like Drogba is clearly heading in the other way.

How do we know if it's net? And I'd like you to show some sort of source indicating that Italy has a 100% income tax. He is free, and considering he did score 10 goals in the leage last season, considering the fact that he has tons of European experience - even leading his team to win it once. That is a pretty sweet deal. You can cry all you want, but I'd rather have Drogba age 36 sitting on the bench than a 20 year old talent.
and the rest of those guys are already covered. With the exception of Buffon of course, but we're going to deal with that when we have to.
L'AMICO - Intanto, a confermare che l’ipotesi Drogba-Juventus è concreta, arrivano le parole di Cenk Ergun, team manager del Galatasaray e amico del giocatore, che ha parlato con Calciomercato.com: «Ho parlato molto con Didier in questi ultimi giorni e so che la famiglia avrà un peso determinante nella sua decisione. La Juventus è una possibilità».
