€9m would be a steal, honestly. Osvaldo isn't garbage, he's just playing like it. The problem with him is the baggage, so it's just a question on whether you want to risk money on a player who could implode up his own ass, or put it on a younger player.

I want him gone and Ciro in. A forward set up off Llorente, Ciro, Tevez, Gio, Vucinic is decent enough for now, from there I'd invest in the wings or for a player like Shinji.

Honestly I don't see him causing any problems in Juve. The Juventus board and staff have huge control over their players unlike other clubs.

If we are to switch formations we shouldn't have 5 forwards

I just mean in terms of his personality, he's essentially a manchild. I'd prefer not to spend too much on him, if we really have to. As one of 5 strikers Osvaldo is really not a problem, but the whole signing him with Immobile's half thing seems like a potential worst case scenario.

It's the price tag that goes with it. And the fact that Ciro might be used a trading coupon too, even if Ciro comes here and Osvaldo stays. Says who the situation will remain stable? Osvaldo was first choice for Llorente sub, what if things don't go his way, will he punch Gio?

Why not? Only Llorente and Ciro aren't too flexible to be moved around but the rest are rather versatile players that can hold their own.
If say we switched to a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 the only players able to play more then one position would be gio and tevez. Vucinic hasn't played on the wing in two years and frankly I don't see him staying here any longer.

If we switched formations we should have a forward line of Osvaldo/Immobile, Gio, Tevez, Llorente.

Cf: Llorente, Osvaldo/Immobile
Second Striker: Gio, Tevez

And then if we have to either Gio or tevez could play on the wing.
