If N'Zonzi comes , I guess Pjanić will play further up now. Allegri has always liked a destroyer in front of defense. Guy plays a Busquets-esque role for Sevilla.

I just hope we're not forced to pay his release clause.

Even if it's not release clause don't expect it to be lower than 32-33mln IMO.

As for Pjanic, I'm not quite sure. We'd need him to build up our player so him being upfront would limit our game in the middle.

Even if it's made up I don't expect him to earn anything less than 4mln/season.
I think his new deal he signed with Sevilla was €2.5m, so I'd expect about €3.5m - €4m tops for a player of that category.

We've only have three players who earn €5m or more; Pjanic, Dybala and Higuain.

If I were to have a DCM I'll like it to be with a 3man midfield. Let him focus on protecting that back line while the other 2 can knock the ball about. I'll actually be ecstatic to have him only if it meant were to have Iniesta too.

N'Zonzi/Marchisio

Khedira/Bentancur - Pjanic/Iniesta

This type of thing? It goes back to a 4-3-1-2 with Dybala and Iniesta, so no authentic wingers.

I know. That's the advantage of having attacking fullbacks like Sandro/Alves. I'm a fan of the diamond with the right players.

Great player! Would do well as a destroyer a la Van Bommel or as a Vidal. He is, however, turning 29 this year and I would prefer to splash those figures on someone a bit younger.

Theoretically we only have two wingers anyway. Pjaca can play as an ss. It would be an interesting change and one I think Allegri would like.

Apparently he's been specifically requested by Allegri

Get a feeling if it was down to Beppe, he would've gone for Tolisso instead.

Our midfield is weak as fuck. Clearly Allegri wants to address that above all else. It's alright having a weaker midfield if you're adept at keeping the ball but in big games we concede possession too easily.

That cant be true, Pjanic himself said Allegri asked for him last summer, to play infront of defense. This is a simple midfield depth signing to compete with Sami and Claudio

Yeah, there's no way this guy is going to be brought in as 'depth' lol especially when we're going to spend quite a bit of money on him.

Allegri will play him in front of defense a la Van Bommel.

If that's the case i'd rather Pjanic, Marchisio and N'zonzi make up the midfield 3 with a world class Cam behind Dybala and Higuain

Can't be arsed with another season of key positions, this time the attacking mid, being made up of players out of position forcing square pegs into circle holes etc.

If we're changing formation again, it better be with the exact type of player we need in every position.
