A loan within those terms would be ideal but I still don't see us switching to 433, IF Allegri had the 433 formation in mind, the most logical thing would have been the purchase of Berardi and since Coman is our only "real" winger we certainly wouldn't have any back ups for that position and we might end up misusing Dybala, also Zaza would never play because he has Morata and Mandzukic ahead of him... if there is money, a world class AM would be my first choice but if there is not or we do not want to overpay for a meh player, we should just play Pereyra there and keep the money for winter mercato or next summer...
We lost Tevez. Dybala is still very green, and Berardi is yet to have a big season like Dybala. We need some established class.
Mandzukic is partially that. But he's a CF. He can carry the team a bit, but not like a cavani or lewandowski.
Cuadrado would make sense. You'd get established class for the buildup.
One thing now strongly comes into mind. This team is very quickly setting up for a 4231 if Pogba would leave
----Vidal/sturaro - Marchisio/Khedira
Cuadrado --- Dybala -- Coman/Berardi
-----------Morata/Mandzukic
A good 4231 allways has complete holding midfielders, one beeing more aggressive, the other beeing a controller that is good defensively.
Cuadrado is an excellent pick cause he offers alot of workrate and offensive value, same can be said about Berardi on the other side if he develops, or Coman if he explodes to the player Allegri sees in him
Dybala would play more offensively, but has a known good workrate
Meanwhile, both Morata and especially Mandzukic have excellent workrate, both played this position in this formation, and especially Mandzukic was excellent in it.
Tbh, IF we would sell Pogba, we could theoretically finance reus and play this
---Marchisio - Vidal
Cuadrado - Dybala - Reus
------Mandzukic
Yeah good luck trying to play against that

From what i'm seeing now, we are building a team that can go in alot of directions depending on what youngster explodes, and can easely field a worldclass lineup with 1 big transfer If pogba leaves
I really admire the vision our board is showing
