yeh, sadly
Gonzalo will improve greatly next season and will perform in CL once we provide better service. Personally I believe Dybala is the one that doesn't fit and I'd give him the boot. With a solid set of winger backed by competent FB's and two playmakers in a AM and Pjanic, he'll do great. Sell Dybala fund for someone with more desire.
I would certainly not give him the boot..... but i agree with you that maybe we dont know what to do with him.
He seems to be an SS, since he is great cutting in with his left foot but we will most likly not play with a 2 man frontline from the time being.. He has skills to be an AM... but is not a world beater in there...and is too far from goal to continously use his left foot which IMO is his best asset, more than anything else he can offer.
I would sincerly try to use him as an advanced winger, very close to the box from the right side. This is because in that position he can challenge defenders easier in 1v1 not getting bunched up in the middle, and being forced to lose control of the ball with his heavy touch. Also he would be able to cut in and strike with his left foot. In other words... simplify his game and channel it into his left foot finishing above everything else.
Buy a real treq like bernardeschi and let dybala focus on just attacking from the right.

Use cuadrado as dybalas backup, and you could even put there shick when cuadrados doesnt feel like into it.
