If Max stays we need 2 more starter mids other than Ramsey, with one of them being Pogba/Sergej on the left side besides CR. If Pjanic leaves, 3 new starters. Why? We build the team around Ronaldo, who needs a striker partner who needs to be able to play with his back to the goal - Dybala gone, replacement gonna be a true CF. Which means 352 (which wed keep as tactical alternative), or 442, either with wingers or 4 two way CMs. Which players we have that can play this? Pjanic, Can (bench), Bentancur (bench), Berna (possible starter), Costa (possible starter if he gets his head out of his ass, but 6M wages sub if he doesent), Cuads (bench, possibly done at the highest level, needs to be evaluated), Ramsey (starter as advanced mid, when healthy), Sami (gone), Blaze (too one dimensional, we got Ramsey now). Imo Khedira, Matuidi, Costa either should or will leave, so we are 2 starter caliber players short. One is Sergej/Labile, the other hopefully Ndombele. People say its not possible, but selling Dybala and Costa (high wages and hopefully atleast 160M in fee) should fund this. For Pogba, an additional sale would be needed i think, hence the Pjanic sale -> replace with freebie Rabiot. We would still be a striker and atleast one CB short though, so hopefully we got the financial power for such a summer
