Yeah let’s sell our only non-choking CL forward 
Sure mario contributes alot but unfair to critisize gonzalo for it but not him when mandzukics level of choking in front of goal has actually been far worse
its sure tempting but i dont really care about money from players sales. Mandzukic is a proven winner, locker room presence, and on the court he still delivers. i hope he gets another year of starting, then we start gradually reducing his minutes each year and keeping him in shape for the most important months of the season, thus extending his career at the highest level.
The problem is that we have to make player sales to keep improving the squad, and I would much rather we focused on keeping our young players, and our players in there prime, by being able to give them competitive wages so they want to stay here.
If that means selling some of the players exiting their prime yearswhen the right offer comes along then so be it.
For me all players 30+ is for sale at the right price, as long as they are not club legende like Barza, Chielini, Buffon, Marchisio.

the one guy id sell is Higuain actually. he wont have a long career imo, can get you more money, and would open up the CF role for Dybala to take. Mandzukic has the athleticism, the size, strength and stamina to be a useful player even when hes 35, on limited playing time.
if you need money for a WC player and Mandzukic is the only one that can get you some, then sure, in 1-2 years im OK with him leaving. right now, especially when hes still a key performer, a clear no from me.

Sending long balls to mandzukic is fine and dandy for specific set ups. I just wish we had more football in our legs than just huff and puff. This has been clearly our plan A since last season, and is the reason why mandz and cuadrado are slot in starters in 80% of our games.
It also leaves a lot to be desired from higuain and dybala

I an starting to agree with you about Higuain. The team is clearly better and more balanced when only one of Higuain and Dybala playes. That is why I think that only one of Higuain and Dybala will be here next year, and I would much prefer Dybala to stay here.
In that case Mandzu would be a very good alternative as a CF to Dybala, as he offers something totally different.
Unfortunately Allegri does nor see Dybala as a CF, so most likely he will be the one leaving.

“With Mario Mandzukic basically acting as the fourth midfielder, we were lacking something in width. We lost the ball repeatedly and allowed Verona so many counter-attacks. They are in good shape and run hard, so it was a dangerous fixture.
“Plus Juventus hadn’t won in Verona in Serie A since 2001, so it was not to be taken for granted by any means. I was about to substitute Mandzukic just before the goal, as when the situation seems to be 'easy’ he tends to go into stand-by mode and save energy.”
Is Allegri taking shots?
