i see he plays as an AM this season mostly + he can cover for Marchisio when hes not playing selling Hernanes and getting this guy would be a great deal for sure as he can be that 4th CM to rotate with the starting trio and give us an option to play 4-3-1-2. id sign him
1. I`m also pro Zlatan so no need to convince me with his stats...
2. 2-3 seasons is a temp when you want to build a team around a player that you know isnt going to last more than 2 seasons!
Building isnt something that takes 1 year... it takes years! You can build around Pogba (hoping he`ll stay) You can build around Dybala (again hoping he`ll stay for a long time and of course hoping he`ll develop the way we want him to...) you cant build around 34 year olds... this makes no sens!
With that said I`d still get him... The thing is our management would only go for long term!
So you think our attack is as strong as Bayern Barca Real? If you do then you need to get your eyes checked!
I agree its not just forwards that are responsible to the team`s attack but Moratta is far from being clinical! and what the Bayern game thought us is that fast forwards who also have that extra are the ones we need
Sanchez would be the perfect fit! If he is available we need to go full power on him!
blablabla
For a team with our ambitions a CM of 3 players is to be called 'fine' when you have 4 reliably worldclass players to cover those 3 positions and another 2 good ones. We have 2 WC players in Marchisio and Pogba.

so if we add Ibra that automatically means we want to build around him? what if we want to build around Pogba and Dybala by adding Ibra and improving the team further? he surely would help Dybala and Pogba grow even further and ease Berardis transition into the team.
id say a CM as good as Khedira who doesent have injury problems and doesent spend half the season out would add a lot to this team. that CM would be a higher priority to me than the AM because with Morata and Cuadrado staying and Berardi coming in, we would be fine upfront. Pogba, Marchisio, Khedira, Lemina, Sturaro, new CM (Khedira level). sell the rest because i dont want another season like this where some players miss more games than they play

Yes because Ibra isnt a player not to build around see his Barcelona performance...
Ibra needs to be the center of the team therefore yes he is
The way I see it the best thing we could do is to sign Cuadrado and as for the rest it depends on who we can get
If we can get Sanchez which is highly unlikely I`d go for Kante as we would need someone strong defensively to allow both Sanchez and Dybala with another strong forward on the field!
If we get a more solid option (more of a midfielder than a forward) then I`m not sure Kante would be the best option!
Kante is very good defensively but I`m not a big fan of his passing ability
Actually Peres is a good player! I`m not saying we should get him but I definitely rate him more than I ever rated Isla (BTW never rated Isla)
Tielmans remains a mystery for me as he definitely very talented but he isnt taking Anderlecht to the places I expected him to take them + I dont know about this season but last season If I`m not wrong he wasnt a pure starter but more of a rotation guy which makes me think if he isnt a pure star for Anderlecht why should he be a star for us?
Saponara is a good player but I wouldnt mind him as a sub nothing more than that
Cuadrado needs to be retained thats for sure! He upped his game in a serious manner since the start of the season! He became a wiser player and a player who cut to the side and the middle +passing much more than in his past which makes his game less predictable!
The way Sandro and Cuad are performing on the wings I`m not sure if we really need to sign a RB or LB as we have Licht and Evra as covers
As for Selling Hernanes - I am not a big fan of Hernanes but he did bring us something we lacked against Bayern in distributing the ball so unless we get some players to do it I`d keep him as a backup
Asamoah - This is the most annoying player in the world! He could have become WC should he could just be available! a price of 15M and up we should sell.. less than that I`d keep him with us
I am all for Banega if he is available, and bring back Berardi, and why not try Van Der Wiel, his wages i know is really high, but we do give high wages for all our free transfers anyway.
keep everyone important..

If we must or can buy forwards this summer - I really like this Manchester United young forwards. Could we lure some if the manager changed and/or they don't get CL?
I just dont understand this fascination over him.People are still clinging on to some good performances he had 2-3 yrs ago.Its like Santon all over again who was hyped beyond oblivion after that performance against Cristiano in 2009 CL.Been quite error prone in the last couple of seasons.
Players like Abate and Antonelli start over him.
He's not suited to Juventus this moment.We'd need an upgrade to Lichtsteiner not some outcast who may or may not turn out to be good.
This is the next step in our progress now.If we're talking about getting the best talent from the league,you go after those who have been consistent in the league.We're in a position where we can take less risks now to some extent.I'm strictly speaking about talent within the league not outside it.
