But Allegri wanted those replaces by technically gifted players just in different roles so this is a bit disingenuous
No he didn't? We were linked with that PSG full back to replace Cancelo, Icardi as a striker and there was no concrete links for midfield. And Costas replacement was probably Chiesa.
If he wanted those players gone it wasn't to find similar replacements otherwise why bother
Allegri showed us time and time again he'd resort back to the same trusty technically average players regardless of who was fit
Cancelo benched for MDS, Matuidi untouchable on the left, Dybala frozen out and Costa when fit benched in big games
Allegri prefers steady players. This is not good.
