Perhaps in your simplistic world 
Player leaves Juventus, he automatically becomes worse, and voila, just because we signed a player he automatically has to be better. A bunch of biased couch experts around here.

After Pogba's sale, the thing to realize here is that before we go ahead and buy any so called replacement, Marotta still needs to sell first in my view. This is because according to my calculations, we need to downsize the squad by 2 senior non home grown players.
Assuming the Pogba sale means we get 105m net (who knows what the official figure is at the end of the day), the impact on the P&L for this year after all KNOWN transactions up to this point is +EU70m (with an assumed 12m in gross wage increases for Bonucci and Dybala). The following year this becomes -30m (including 20m profit from Coman sale) and then -52m the year after.
I can see why we have interest in Gabigol because he has quality but also because he is under 21. So if we wanted to bring in say Gabigol + another midfielder, we need to reduce 3 players. Hernanes and Zaza are two obvious ones. Pereyra looks like the number 3.

So long as Zaza is willing to accept a bench role, I would be fine with that. The only thing to realize though, is that means we would need to cut 2 mids from the line-up. So imagine we cut Hernanes and Pereyra and had no new mids. We would look pretty slim from a depth perspective. That is the call we need to make because of these new FIGC rules.
Rather than spending a lot of money on average player (Witsel, etc). Wouldn't it be better to just keep Lemina and Pereyra and make Marrone stay and just sell Hernanes and bring in a young player like Diawara? Then replace Zaza with Gabriel B. We will the right quota of players and keep the powder dry if and when an opportunity presents itself.
Squad would be:
GK: Buffon, Neto, Audero - 2 senior non HG, 1 U-21
DEF: Alves, Lichsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Benatia, Rugani, Evra, Sandro - 9 senior non HG
MID: Khedira, Marchisio, Pjanic, Diawara?, Marrone?, Sturaro, Lemina, Pereyra, Asamoah, Mandragora - 8 senior (including 2 HG), 2 U-21
FWD: Dybala, Pjaca, Higuain, Mandzukic, Gabriel B. 4 senior non HG, 1 U-21
Total 23 senior players including 2 HG. 4 U-21

Unless we can get a top midfielder, this is exactly what I would want us to do. It seems like Lemina and Pereyra have been a big part of our pre-season thus far... so hopefully Allegri is signalling his desire to keep them. Pereyra had a rough go with injuries last year, but was developing very nicely before that. And Lemina has fantastic potential.

Stats? 
Don't be like Rus Bro. Pogba can impact the game so much more, and has far more potential. He is a beast in both the defensive and offensive phase of the game. We lose a lot of physicality and athleticism with him, not to mention that X factor. Higuain is definitely better than Morata, but he isn't 60 million Euros better. Morata at 30 million is better than Higgy at 90. Morata, potentially, has the tools to become a more complete forward than Higuain. He isn't there yet, and might never get there, but the potential is there. As for Cuadrado being better than Dani Alves, I never said that. Dani Alves on a free is a dope signing.

No, and No! No physical presence, low work rate, sometimes lazy and inconsistent.
