Depends on Cuadrado and Morata IMO

JuveJay is right in my opinion. We aren't looking for a pure AM anymore but for an eclectic allround CM with great attacking abilities.

If Ancelotti really showed him the door then I hope we change our targets then. This could be another masterpiece from Marotta.

 

[Xperd]

And people were going nuts that we paid upwards of 40 million for Dybala with 1 year left on his contract

Probably so.

Do you think that this means we are using the 3-5-2 almost exclusively next season?

We'll follow the template of the 14-15 season.

Use 3-5-2 in the league and use 4-3-1-2 in Europe particularly in big games.
So yeah,we'll most probably target a CM who can play AM.We won't go for a pure AM imo.

With Marchisio's injury,a CM becomes more important at this point.

I thought you were against any CM signings.

 

[X Æ A-12]

35M each (Sanches with 45M bonuses, 5M for every 25 appearances until he reaches 125 apps, if he makes FIFA XI of the year, Balon Dor shortlist etc)

45mil in bonuses?! Jesus

Don't think you read my post carefully then.

I talked about selling 2 and buying 1 as opposed to buying 2.

Though if we manage to sell well,I'd like to see us buy 2 CM's as well.

It doesn't make sense because it means you need a player that can play as AM and DM at the same time. Who fits the bill? Surely not Gomes. I have a hard time seeing Allegri playing Pjanic as DM too, which we discussed a few days ago.

A CM/AM doesn't cover Marchisio's role at all so I don't see your point.

Those kind of deals would become the norm in the future.

Watch buy Tielemans for €25M + €45M in bonuses next

I am clearly looking in terms of the budget.I would spend a good amount on securing a CM first.
I am not talking about a like for like replacement for Marchisio but a CM who can play various roles.Lemina or Hernanes to play Marchisio's role until he returns if we can't exactly find a CM who can play DM as well.

I want us maintain quality in the midfield area so a CM would be a more desirable signing in that respect.

 

[Alessandro]

Pjanic as regista/creative MC
Goetze as TQ/SS-sub
Berrardi as SS-sub/Winger

 

[Xperd]

Not to mention we have a no.of injury prone midfielders.
An eclectic CM should be priority.

Right. So right now we can consider Pogba and Khedira reliable in terms of quality in CM area. If we want to add someone, we have to sell definitely, because in terms of numbers we're covered very well.

IMO AM depends only on Morata. I think we already gave up on Cuadrado but we'll try hard to keep Morata. If we keep him there could be room for a CM and AM depending on who we want to sign and for how much. Sales will be important too. As for Cuadrado replacement I expect De Sciglio/Vrsalijko so we'll spend 10-15m at most.

If Morata goes, we'll need to get a new striker. Everything will change then.

 

[Hust]

If Morata goes I see us going all in on Cavani

 

[Xperd]

If Morata goes,we need Alexis Sanchez/Lacazette mould of players not an out and out CF like Cavani.

 

[Hust]

Cavani is ecclectic enough which is why Marotta probably wants him. Can do pretty much anything along the attack line like he does at PSG plus he guarantees goals galore more so than Sanchez & Co

 

[KB824]

Sanchez/Dybala upfront would give clubs fits

He hates playing anything other than CF

Besides both Mandzukic and Zaza won't be happy if Cavani comes.We'd have to restructure our attack all over again.

Really wish people give up this Cavani dream.

not saying I want this but I think if a good Zaza offer comes along he is gone. I don't think Zaza enjoys riding the bench any more or less than Cavani likes playing anything other than CF

 

[Xperd]

Sanchez would be 10 times better signing than Cavani of Morata leaves.

 

[Hust]

And if Zaza and Morata go we have money to work with without having to restructure all over again


We could get Sanchez or Cavani I would think
