Our tranfer cash flow so far: (I may be wrong in some)
In: Zaza(8M), Coman(10.5M), D.Alves(4.5x2=9M), Neto(1.5+2x2=5.5M), Bonnuci(14+5x2=24M), Donis(2M), Cassata(1.67M), Pogba(39M), Berradi(2.5M), Isla( 1.3M), Perreira(3.25M), Ogbona(3.67M), Morata(15M). Total: ~127,12M.
Out: Orsolini(3M), Dybala(8M), Mandzukic(6M), A.Sandro(8.67M), Lemina(3M), Pjaca(11.5M), Zaza(6M), Higuain(45M), Mandragora(2M), Rincon(2.67M), Bentancur(4.75 + 1.5x2= 7.75M), Cuadrado(6.67M), Benatia( 8.5M), Douglas Costa(6 + 6x2 =18M), Szeskni( 6+ 4.5x2 = 15M), MDS(4.16 + 2x2 = 8.16M), Caldara(3.75M), Bernardeschi (13.3 + 3x2 = 19.3M). Total: ~ 183M.
So we are on ~56M negative right now, I don't know if we can make one more big tranfer, may be if we sold Lemina, Rincon and Stu for a good price.

Something doesnt add up here IMO
We have made a bid for Keita but still havent sold/it doesnt seem like we will sell Cuadrado and just bought Berna...
We want Matuidi who cant play in a 2 man midfield?
Schick isnt completely dead in the water?
Either we are selling Dybala
OR
maybe we dont want Keita and this is a game which works for us and Lazio, gets someone like Inter to up their bid and leaves us with Schick at the end of the mercato?
Matuidi makes no sense, could we be working with Lazio for SMS or maybe even Di Vrij?
Unless Allegri wants to use Berna in a 3 man midfield ala Pogba, then Matuidi would make more sense.
Didnt he see Draxler developing as a CM?

Higuain Dybala Costa Bernardeschi Mandzukic
Pjaca Cuadrado Kean
Imo we should loan out Kean and Pjaca somewhere where they can play and develope
To ends up with
Costa Dybala Bernardeschi Higauin and Mandzukic Keita Cuadrado as subs.
I agree on Matuidi. He is 30yrs old high wages and always played in a 3man midfield.
We'll be left with a hot potato if we get him.
I'd go for a younger boy considering Khedira and Marchisio aren't getting younger and are injury prone...
Sms would be ideal even if again he is a 3man midfield boy and Lotito want 70m XD
We need a Central Midfielder under 27yrs and that can accept being on the bench sometimes
Krychowiak I think would be a valid option. Seems like PSG are actually trying to offload him instead of Matuidi, but he's younger than Matuidi, can operate as a DM in a 2-man midfield and is actually available due to a poor season (barely got game time). I actually rate the lad, as he was simply beastly while playing at Sevilla and back then was truly an underrated mid, a real hustler of a DM. If he still played at Sevilla we wouldn't even be considering N'Zonzi.
Would you consider Cancelo and Matuidi quality signings, as for now they are the most obvious targets?
Also, everyone keeps asking for a RB, but seems to neglect that what we do need is another LB/LWB. Even if we dont get anyone else for the right back/wingback, with Mattia and Licht, and possibly Cuadrado as a wingback, thats not exactly bad, we can still manage, but IF we have to deal with an ASandro absence due to injury/susp/need of a rest, then we are in trouble. Asa is just terrible at LB, he`s not reliable and would be a constant danger to us. Sure, best case scenario would be an upgrade on the right and a back-up on the left, but we`d still need an "experienced" midfielder, some would argue that another CB would also be nice. IF we do that, or something like that, I would say management did a very good job, 8/9/10 - 10 mercato...
