With Bonucci and Marchisio sold. 
Marchisio and Strootman are both injury prone
When both on top form Marchisio is definitely the better player but if you take overall performance and not just their peaks Id say Strootman has the edge
Marchisio has been a box to box who was reveresed into a playmaker in front of the defense while Strootman is not that far in terms of position
Marchisio has his ghostish performances
Strootman is more injury prone but when he plays he can provide some great passes and great link ups and thats why I wanted him in the first place as this is something we lack!
Signing Strootman should lead to a 4-2-3-1 formation with Strootman&Pjanic but it could actually mean 4-3-3 as well as I dont think we bought Matuidi to be a sub..
4-3-3 formation with Strootman Pjanic Matuidi could actually work very well as Matuidi is a hard worker Pjanic is the orchester and Strootman to provide great link ups between defense and mid and mid and attack..
Dybala Higuain D.Costa will probably be the starting 3 unless Bernardeschi shows some great performances that couldnt be ignored
Mandzukic will start at first but I expect D.Costa to bench him and later maybe Bernardeschi as well
As for Higuain - Despite his goal I do not like the player he has become.
At Napoli he was a pure hitman a real killer give him the ball and he`ll score from anywhere + He would dribble whenever needed
Here he became slower and heavier and usually loses when he dribbles.. You can also see it in the first half of the season vs the second half as the first half he had the Napoli effect therefore scoring great goals like the one vs Roma
Second half yes he still scored but was much heavier and it was shown against Real and I can say vs Monaco as well (despite the fact he scored IIRC)
