I think 10-12 m + Llorente + 35-40 m recompra options in two years is pretty realistic.
And I really hope that we are interest. Guy has a huge potential.
Even drop Mkhitaryan I think it's an 8/10 mercato. We don't appreciate a free Khedria because he's injured. We'd have a quality left back for the first time in a decade and much more complete and balanced attack then last seasons. With a squad like that Allegri will have a lot options. Our flexibility and unpredictability last season was an underrated strength of ours. Now I expect even more flexibility, adding the 4-3-3 to the 3-5-2 and 4-3-1-2.

we wont get Cuadrado anyway. it will most likely be Sandro and someone like Soriano. maybe another opportunity will present itself though, so lets still wait. remember how we done dealed Siqueira but then Sandro became available and boom, we get him done
thats what i also had in mind when i said Cuadrado and Sandro would make it a 15/10 mercato. too bad Chelsea most likely wont allow a loan + option for him
Cuadrado can't be very happy in Chelsea though. I think it's hard to be a 30mln flop anywhere. He doesn't seem to be benching Willian anytime soon as well.
Talisca? I never thought it would come to that (though the desperation thought crossed my mind). Talisca started the last season on fire, but then opponents learned how to play him. The last half of the season he came off the bench only with many Benfiquistas satisfied with that, saying he wasn't ready and much to learn.
Not surprising for a 21yo new to Europe. But if we're even thinking Talisca as a young Brazilian AM, I'd rather have Alex Teixeira.
I would take Lamela on loan with option to buy...after thinking it for a while he could do well for us. And 4321 with Dybala and him/Pereyra/Coman behind Morata/Mandzu sounds pretty good. ::hustini2::
