To think that Pogba will remain beyong 2016 is just delusional. It's clear as day that Marotta will sell him.
Only question is if he'll do it on a discount because Pogba will only want to join Barca. Very likely we won't sell him to the highest bidder, as Marotta usually does.
About Morata, if we don't have a great season I think it's likely he''ll return to Madrid. At the end of the day, they are absolutely going to exercise the buyback clause, and it will be up on him to go back. He will probably go back, I believe.
It will be 2 huge blows and Marotta better be prepared for both of them. He must plan it right now, given his faillure to plan ahead of the departure of Vidal. Pirlo wasn't necessary to be replaced, as Marchisio is a clear improvement on that position, and Tevez was adequately replaced by Dybala. But Vidal's case was horrible.

Oh, and given Marotta's words about Draxler - they were laughable, saying it wasn't a serious negotiation. Also saying a great AM was coming only to dimiss it a few days later. I had this feeling he was one of the guys on the job that told the least number of lies, but he clearly lost his path here.
Now I don't get his word for nothing. My guess is Pogba is leaving for Barca for somewhere between 60/75M, leaving much higher bids from EPL on the table. Don't think he will go for 100M, because he won't.
Isco will be the best possible replacement for him, and IF he's willing to come to Juve (big IF, depends on him having an average/poor season and a constant bench player or being played out of position), he'll cost nearly what we sold Pogba for.
If Pogba is sold for let's say 70M, best possible scenarium - 60M for Isco + 25M for Tielemans or some guy like that.
Now, replacing Morata is nearly impossible. He'll be sold for less than 30M, as says his transfer buyback clause, and he will be the best CF of the world in the coming years, IMO. Maybe some guy like Lacazette or something. But we'll have to pay 40M + for a guy like this.
