Alexis and Tolisso would sort our team out for next season, we don't really need anything else. That's what, €70m? We lose €18m for Benatia and gain €16m for Zaza and €21m for Coman.
More like 90 million :D Tolisso for 40, and Sanchez for 50. We sell Zaza, Lemina (sadly), and Coman for a total of 55 million. Net outlay is 35 million, not including wages of course. I think we can definitely pull something like that off. However, the question is, how much does Sanchez expect in terms of salary, and which teams are we going to be coming up against? If Bayern aren't interested, and he considers Ligue 1 a step down, then we are most definitely clear favorites.

Its insane if we can get those two, we really need nothing indeed. Bench Mandzu for Alexis and Tolisso for Khedira, and our starting eleven is elevated by some margin.


To be bit picky, only remaining position to improve on then would become RB, but both our older RBs have contracts to or past 2018 so its alright for now.

that Torino RB could be interesting for us if he keeps improving
Zappacosta? He is alright, good hustler and joins forward alot, but we need better for starting role.


Would like this guy:

Yes.


FFS he was great yesterday.
I agree he was good and 18il is a good deal for him but I don't see a point in buying him unless we plan on using 3 CBs or lose Bonucci this summer. We've got enough for 2 spots already and Caldara waiting in the wings for when Barzagli retires.

you don't get a CB of his quality for that little money. Would be foolish to pass up on him
fair enough. I guess it could be time to phase out Barzagli soon. He is 35 and, this season, looking like the amazing player he was for us for so long

WHY would you want him frigging gone? I dont get it, we litterally need him. As we keep seeing, he played yesterday because he was needed. Chiellini is somewhat injured often now, as is Barzagli, and Benatia would go ahead of the latter anyways since he is 36 closing in on 37when he is supposed to wind down. That leaves it 4 reliable CBs (if Chiellini's on and off injuries can be fully reliable), with Caldara coming to replace Barzagli next next season.


Its litterally our biggiest strength, that we have depth in ridicolous quality in some key positions, we have 5 top CBs essentially, who arent all fully avaiable at same time too often, so its necessary to have this depth, even if change in formation makes it less needed, its still needed.

Barzagli isn't getting any younger, and I can't see him being effective/useful beyond next year. Chiellini is injury prone, and I fear his time is coming to an end as well. Bonucci, Rugani, Caldara, and Benatia implies 4 cbs for two positions. This is the bare minimum.

Beppe isn't gonna pay €50m for anyone with a year left on their contract. Well, it would be a huge surprise if he did.

Not just Douglas Costa linked but also Angel Di Maria.

Well I guess it depends upon formation. Right now the 4-2-3-1 fields four attacking players and Allegri seems to using prefer only five players in those four positions. 6 if you count moving Pjanic. I never denied that 18mil benatia is a steal but there is a serious lack of depth up front and we are going to spend 50mil+ on Tolisso and Benatia? Dybala and Higuian can't play every game.

I don't know Allegri's long term plans but would like to see the 4-2-3-1 stay

Correct me if I'm wrong can't recall, wasn't Dybala also on last year of his contract when they signed him? Beppes come a long way since his samps days. Modern Beppe got this if we 100% for Sanchez.

Fuck that looks good

Do we need Benatia? He doesn't even play
Beside his playing time, it's his injury concerns. 17mil won't look that good of a deal if he turns another Romulo
