The Morata situation is a little confusing. I mean, from Morata's point of view he would either want to stay at Juventus or go back and play for Real Madrid. He has made it clear he doesn't want to be used as a Pawn. If Real Madrid say they want him back, I doubt Morata would say no - it is his boyhood club.

Its not Marotta's style to go against a player's wishes. We had better get Cavani if that happens though. If we sell Morata and Zaza and end up with Cavani and Berardi - I could probably live with that.

On the AM, a deal could probably be done with Bayern Munich by using Coman as part of a Gotze deal - you know the deal that didn't pan out last year.

Also in terms of deals - (although extremely unlikely), if Morata goes back to Real Madrid, presumably we could do a deal for Isco if Isco is willing to make the move.

I also think we should consider using Pereyra as a pawn in a deal (particularly if we end up with Gomes). He still has some value but I can't see him lifting the quality of the side. Could use him as a pawn with Sassuolo in deals we do with them.

In my view Pereyra and Hernanes are both expendable.

Pereyra is expandable if we continue with the 3-5-2 formation!
If we turn to 4-3-1-2 then Pereyra is our only guy who can play behind the forwards (unless you want Dybala to play there)

BTW Gabriel Jesus how many games did he play in 2015 and how many goals and assists in 2015 same question about 2016 (I know he is very young and stats for 2015 might be almost non existent)

As for Cavani Berardi instead of Zaza Morata - ofcourse you could live with that it will make us stronger! although losing a young talent always hurts

Dybala, G.Jesus, Berardi/Morata...

...our very own Messi/Neymar/Suarez set up?

@Fr3sh
All great finishers!
Dybala isnt such a great finisher although he isnt bad G.Jesus dont know much about him and Berardi Morata arent really scoring machines... dont know if it will work without a proper finisher!

The thing to remember is - by just RETAINING our stars we are up for Lemina 10m, Cuadrado 25m, Morata (potential extra buy out of guessing 15m) = 50m. Coman money wouldn't come until the following year. Then you know Caceres is leaving on a free end of contract which means we would need to bring someone else decent which is minimum 10m. You are up for 60m without doing much. Any Marchisio replacement will only add to that.

Cuadrado is no star.He's a great sub to have at your disposal but he isn't exactly indispensable.I won't lose any sleep over losing him.
By stars,I am mainly referring to Pogba and Morata.I posted a few pages ago,just sell Zaza and use that money to get that clause removed.Replace Zaza with Berardi.
I won't retain Cuadrado.I'd focus my efforts rather on buying a RB who can play wingback as well.

If we can get this Jesus kid then we send Cuadrado back to Conte gift wrapped with a bow.

Berardi-€25m
Vrsjalko (?)-€15-€18m
Andre Gomes-€35m
Unsure on funds for new CB.Benatia on a loan deal is feasible for example.
Then there's Morata's clause.

These are the main priorities for next summer.

Take Lemina on loan again or ask for a Lower fee. Send Cuad back, well Zaza to cover for the cost of keeping morata. Zaza could maybe cover cost for both Lemina and Morata

Also give Sass some fringe players or youngsters to lower the berardi fee.


Damn it @Xperd do I need to come up with everything?

Our outgoing list :
Hernanes-€5-€10m,between that
Padoin-free
Zaza-looking at €25m here
Sturaro or Pereyra or maybe even both of good offers arrive

Considering outgoing sale options,we can easily afford a solid €60m NET mercato.
