In attack Morata, Mandzukic and Dybala in midfield Marchisio, Pogba, Khedira and Pereyra. Kovacic has potential but hasn't really performed on consistent basis yet.
Can't say i watched all of the players reguraly but if i can pick a couple who could have a bright future i think the one who stands out for me is Bakayoko who still young, tenacious strong physically... and i think he will appear much more for Monaco this year with Kondogbia gone. I also like Gueïda Fofana and Jordan Ferri from Lyon who i think could feature right away for us..
Like you said i like Ferri's passing, but like you mentionned much of these players are average, Bakayoko and Fofana have the potentiel to be something special especially the former.
If i had to pick a young player from Ligue 1 it will be definetely Rabiot.
If he has the same agent as Vidal, fuck Charles Aranguiz too.
On Vidal's replacement if we could sign , I would love to get Kondogbia or Matuidi. Both will never happen, then we got the likes of Allan and Radja whom both left to sign permanently with another club.
Only realistic move target would be William Carvalho. I remember we used to get linked with him last summer, though now he is out injured for 3 month, we safely say he is off as well.
And then there are couple of kids Saul Niguez and Rabiot who are rumoured to be post Vidal targets for us. Never really followed them.
I've mentioned this before but I would like Berardi on Juve sooner than later. I really have a feeling he will become the next great Italian player that we have been missing this generation. It obviously doesn't look like he's coming now, so whats the situation with him for next year? Is it confirmed that he's coming?
agreed, Evra does bring that stability and leadership to the field but his age will start showing sooner than later. Litch is still ok and I love the fight in him.

Why would we put two strikers on the pitch at the same time? Mandzukic is the sort of player that's going to hold us back.
None of those midfielders apart from Pogba and Marchiso are of the sort of standard we require to be a CL threat.
You'd think that the CL final would've taught some something about where this team is lacking but that isn't the case. The issue is rather simple, on a technical standpoint our team isn't good enough to go toe to toe with a barca and come out on top. That's the first thing we need to improve in our side and the likes of Mandzukic and Khedira is a step in the wrong direction.
His free kicks r pure class and he is in general not bad, but his behaviour to get his wish to transfer to Leverkusen really was pathetic. When he signed for them he said: "My goal is to stay here long-term..around 2-3 years".
Leverkusen wont sell him for a reasonable price this summer, but he is gone latest in 2 years IMO.
How about Vazquez? Saw him just a few times, but he looked not bad. U r right though the market really offers little to nothing in most positions..its crazy.

so lets just rewind here, we racked in a record income off CL, sold our best player for the last 4 years, but cant afford/attract a good AM? blew our load on almost, d?bala and 2 bench material forwards, YIKES
Agree. When vidal left the average iq of the squad rose by 20%. It might not be desirable to have a player behaving like a rabbid dog, like vidal did in the most important game of the year. We need an am with creativity, passing and offensive quality
