RB - CB - CB - LB
Pjanic - Strootman - Matuidi
Costa - Higuain - Dybala

(Depending on which side Costa - Dybala can both deal with playing on obviously)

Then when needed, drop Matuidi. 4-2-3-1 with Berna/Mandzukic coming in.

If we can sort out our defence, that's a nice team with a serious bench. I think our lack of attacking options are something we need to address. In big CL games bringing on glorified wing back Cuadrado at best to improve our attack just helps nobody.

Debatable and their careers speak otherwise. Paying €40m for Strootman if you already have Khedira is a total waste of money no matter how you look at it.
Paying 40M for Dybala when you have Zidane is a waste..
Khedira is waaaaaay past his prime.. I dont know if you notice it but Khedira is barely a football player nowdays..
Strootman is surely a better player now
Also the comparison of Strootman and Khedira is funny as Strootman is a much better link up player while Khedira has his own attributes..
Totally different players but it doesnt really matter now as Khedira is almost finished..

FI say we want Locatelli or Bonaventura for Marchisio which IMO will be a big mistake!
I rate Locatelli as a talented player while I see the good in Bonaventura BUT Marchisio is still a Bianconeri symbol+still a good player (better than both)
If they offer sum+one of them it will be more understandable but even then I wouldnt want him to join another Serie A club...

Second if you replace Costa with Berna!!! :strong: :MJ:

They had lanky Biscuits to complement them.

Imagine Sanchez - Pjanic - Matuidi :D No chance in hell are they heading from a goal kick.
Biscuits can't play football though even if his life would depend on it...but he dives a lot and gets a lot of freekicks and yellows/reds for opposition players (for such tackles etc. that never even happened).

Sanches (176) - Pjanic (180) - Matuidi (175)

Modric (174) - Casemiro (184) - Kroos (182)

Not too much of a difference imo.
You just need one player at a decent height and purposefully built to head and break up attacks. Casemiro is their man. Pjanic is our tallest but matuidi is our 'casemiro'.
