Assuming allegri persists with 4231 next season and marchisio returns to full form and fitness.

Defense- sell lich and find a long term solution for alves. E.g Lirola returning. With a back 4 and only requiring 2 CBs starting it is questionable to have so many options unless barzagli retires. But we have very good young options that need to play more. Rugani and caldara if he is joining in the summer?

Midfield - 2 spots. Pjanic is guaranteed and a fit marchisio and Khedira are good enough for that second spot. From there worries me. Lemina, mandragora, sturaro..does benta get a chance or go on loan? Either way none of these names are top class. But maybe 4th back up for two spots is goid enough.

Forwards - higuain and manzukic as the CF options are good and good to know mandzukic has more strings to his bow. But LW needs to be addressed and we need a versatile creative player who can cover those 3 positions in the final third. James seems unrealistic unless we break the bank...again don't want to lose any key players this summer. Pjaca has talent but cant rely on him just yet. Need another. Names mentioned by others here may suit but we need to find players who are willing to sit on the bench as well. This may pose an issue.

Caldara won't join us until 2018.
But yeah, one eclectic midfielder, one attacking player and DeS for peanuts and we are done.

Considering the business relationship between Bayern and Juve, Douglas Costa seems the most realistic, assuming he's not a greedy bastard that will fuck off to China. Keita Balde could be plan B. I don't think Bernardeschi is realistic, and Arsenal will probably get a bigger offer for Sanchez.

Milan fans losing their shit over de sciglio bouncing to juve is a nice appetizer for Donnarumma.

We're probably getting only 2-3 players this summer.

That's true, and it's a good thing. it means we have a very good base of players.
1 CM, 1 Winger, and if there's a chance to make a steal somewhere - maybe that too.

Licht and Alves can go another year, Asa as AS are solid, our defence is awesome... things are looking good.

I can imagine DS comming to juve and surprising even @Osman , could have an effect on Donna.

Hopefully as much as 'i like northern italy, but what am i doing with these shitty peasants"

Everyone mentions Keita because he is talented, but he is such an idiot
He needs his attitude fixed if he is gonna come to us, and maybe more importantly, his workrate on the pitch. I can already imagine how much Allegri will be screaming at him if he comes. He contributes almost nothing defensively to Lazio, less than Pjaca, who Max always comments on in needing to improve.

Felipe Anderson is much more of a Juve player in terms of being complete and contributing to everything. Tactically he is years ahead of Keita.

I guess it depends on wanting left/center (Keita) or right/center (Anderson).

When Marotta said there aren't many players out there worthy of Juve, he was probably thinking about those two.

I think we will go for players like Sanchez, Costa, James... Only those players can fight for first 11 in this Juve.

 

[Gigiventus]

Costa doesn't belong on that list. He is worse than Anderson.

Fabinho before James?
I thought the only thing i can relied on to stay the same is your devotion for james just like scottish for cavani.

The fanboy in me would prefer James, but I also know they getting a guy who could be world class at both central mid and rightback is very rare. We will need to replace Marchisio/Khedira/Lichtsteiner/Alves over the next 3 years, meaning that a guy like Fabinho is a rare find.

I think we need a LW CM and RB in this order
LW is a must if we keep this system
CM is very recommended
RB is needed but we can delay it for another year and nothing will happen part to the urgency of this position

James, Fabinho. Done.

I'm comfortable with James and Cuadrado as the wings for this reason. This is one of the most popular formations used by Pekerman:

----Gutierrez----Falcao----------
James---------------Cuadrado---

With Mandzukic, Pjaca, and James you have enough cover for the LW position.

How much is sanchez current wage compared to our top players?

I'd say it's worth it if we have to allocate all our CL income money (120+ million if we get to final) for sanchez.

World class, hardworking, can play anywhere on the front four of 442/4231.

We would be better to have him alone than lemar+silva/bernadeschi/keita/anderson/sthick/whatever.

around 5M net iirc

yes, it wouldn't be a busy summer for the first team. thing is that for every incoming player, beppe should have to sell someone, and it's not easy to find either weak spots in the squad or worthy replacements for our current players.
