Quality signing for me.

Only just turned 29 and IF and albeit a big IF he can keep injury free, he'll become the new Barzagli for us.

Exactly. Our market is shaping up quite amazing, somebody said you'd sign Pjanic, Alves and Benatia all before July I'd say you must be mad.

I'm upset about losing Morata but depending on the replacement I think we can cope.

I also believe Pogba is staying and we'll give him more money for an extension.

Feel like the biggest compromise as a result of these higher profile signings, at least for the wages, if not transfer fees - will be the Morata replacement. Suspect there will be another higher profile signing in midfield post Benatia in defense, with a more Chicharitu level backup for the attack.

Potentially:
Alves
Pjanic
Benatia
Kovacic/Mascherano/Kante
Hernandez/Millik/Pjaca

We'll make a big signing in attack that I'm certain.

At the minute we're about even with money spent and wages covered with incomings and outcomings. Benatia will be deferred payment(Which the Coman fee will cover next year)

So we're pretty much at 0 net spend at the moment.

Problem is another player now needs to leave before we sign someone else. Selling Sturaro, Asamoah, Hernanes or Pereyra will be hard, hence why I think Lemina may be sacrificed.

I don't think Asamoah is for sale. His agent already said so, even read a couple of reports that mentioned that Allegri blocked his sale. But there could be a departure for Perreyra and Hernanes. Sturaro is staying for better or worse, quite sure. Cant see us sell Lemina unless its a trade for Kante.

Why do you think we will need to sell before signing anyone else after Benatia?
We are near to 0 mercato after buying Pjanic, Morata leaving, Alves arrived for free till Benatia with loan.
