Yeah, you are right regarding the positions, I am just not sure we have enough money for these signings.
Higu backup: Schick -> 25M
Winger: Costa (30M), Keita (30-40M), Bernardeschi (~50M)
CM/DM: Fabinho (30M), Tolisso (50M?)
Fullback: good question

If Bonucci is leaving this year, entire BBC is probably gone at the end of the next season (considering their age).

Buffon also.

The Marquinhos who blew a 4:0 lead and conceded 6 against Barca? I find PSG defender heavily overrated. That includes Silva.
Regardless he's only 23 and it's PSG we're talking about. €35M is too less in a market where David Luiz goes for €60M.

Even if Bonucci leaves I wouldn't sign a CB. We have 4 already and a 5th on loan. We need to stop stacking the CBs and address other areas of the team.

Chiellini/Rugani - Benatia/Barzagli

is more than good enough. Next year switch Barzagli with Caldara and we are set too.

    I would always keep 5. Especially with the guys we have. Chiello's calf, Barza's age and Benatia's injuries can't be trusted. Even Rugani got injured too.

    But Marquinhos? De Vrij? whats the point of blowing our budget on them, why did we sign Benatia? If we want a 5th CB to make up the numbers then its fine, but let sign a 5th CB, someone cheap or free. No point in signing someone that pushes down Benatia and Rugani.

    for numbers. We're not lucky with injuries. Bring back Caldara or even Romagna.

    Point being?

    We conceded 4 against Real. Are our defenders overrated too?

    It's not only the defenders fault if the entire team gets crushed.
    One leg game.

    We didnt blew a 3:0 lead against Barca in comparison.

    Marquinhos is easily one of the best CBs in the world. Signing him would be nothing but brilliant.

    PSG aren't crazy enough to sell him, though. I guess...

    However it would require A LOT of money and we don't really need to cover that position.
