Selling Higuain and replacing him with SMS is the big move staring him in the face. Brother plays in Torino, looks like the player would agree to come immediately. Most big teams seem to be without links besides Man U.

SMS fits perfectly beneath or sometimes beside Dybala in a 4-3-3. Complete freedom to attack as he pleases from the CM position. Offers a target against the press. Offers the ability to knock balls for Dybala.

It's like the perfect puzzle piece that puts everyone in order. Pjanic back to regista. Costa back to RW, high up the field. Dybala more around the box. Mandzukic can be moved on as his role would be filled.

That would be the ideal scenario, but we’d still need to add an replacement for Higuain or at least keep Mandzukic for another season.

The best role for Mandzukic is back up #9 or #9 beside Dybala when necessary. Otherwise, sell.

Everyone is a square peg in a round hole just to accommodate Higuain. It's time for logic to win.

I wouldn't mind Balotelli if the money for Higuaín is going to be invested in SMS.
balotelli is a ticking bomb. he proved it over the years that he's unreliable. i'd pass.

if we're about to sell higuain, i'd be fine with dybala, mandzu and let's say cerri for the cf position in case we're guaranteed to get sms with that move.

i'm concerned with the rumors about pjanic, tho. if kovacic is our pjanic replacement, and we don't get either of pogba and sms... :sergio:

Surely we're not stupid enough to sell both Higuaín and Pjanic in one summer. That's too stupid of a move.

He's been dodging all links to the bigger signings saying it's all fantasy. Hard to say if they're really impossible and it's just the media being the media, or if it's all smoke screen and they've been in contact with Pogba/SMS/Icardi/Kovacic, or maybe one or the other.
