A bit of a mess. We need someone to clean this up. Too many old player on high salaries. This will seriously affect us. I still cant wrap my head around what was supposed to be our strategy this summer? So far this is 5.5/10 mercato for me.
Yeah Chiellini and CR7 are include in the list of our oldest player with high salaries. Add to that Higuain, Khedira, Mandzukic, Matuidi, Bonucci
We did well in mercato to build our defense with
De Ligt,Demiral,Romero
Some questionable swap for full back. But still these new players can fill and maybe offer more balance in term of defending and attacking and we have 2 players that can play on both side (Danilo and MDS)
For midfield we have our best player in Pjanic, get some new blood in Rabiot and Ramsey. Bentancur and Emre Can can provide competition for 3 man midfield. With 5 players all capable to become starters, if we have coach that know how to rotate we will be safe. We actually dont need 6th player in CM, if we have someone that versatile (can play everywhere in midfield) as our utility fill gaps players. Maybe Berna can be the 6th backup players
CR7 is absolutely take 1 slot in LW and Douglas Costa from RW. For depth we have Berna, Cuadrado, Pjaca. 2 last name are questionable Cuad already 30 and in last year of his contract, but he can be backup for RB, while Pjaca is rarely play because of his injury
For CF we have Higuain,Mandzukic, Dybala. 2 first name are old and maybe past their prime. And Dybala is not a pure CF, not have his best form last season.
We need fresh idea and approach in this department but no name satisfies us all. The real question here is we actually have Moise Kean, and our management dont think he is as our 1st teamer
I think we are near from end of an era, look at MU squad with lowest avg age in 1st week EPL. They are building for the future. Us? Us building around ageing superstar with atrocious salary
