i also forgot pjaca who's primary position is lw.
we need good players, max will take care of the rest. also, a rigid formation is an outdated idea. against barcelona and monaco, we played with 3, 4, 5 or even 6 defenders, depending on the situation. one of them often were mandzukic, who's considered as a prima punta. and let's not forget that dani alves became our 1st choice right winger lately.

I have to say something about the Italian team concept
Juve used to be full of Italian Internationals however
1. Italy declined a bit
2. This is our most non Italy Juve and it has reached the best results
So.. with that in mind.. Im all for making Juve identity Italian but not on quality expense!
I mean if there are 2 players where player 1 is obviously way better than player 2 and player 2 is Italian I`d definitely hope us to pick player 1 as quality is what matters when we are on the field HOWEVER if difference is non existent or there is only a slight difference in quality or in price I`m all for the Italian as Italians should have a priority here as Juve are an Italian team afterall
Bernardeschi is AM and Winger he is talented and can be useful so the question remains price and other options - If our other options are far better in terms of money and quality combined Im all for the foreign otherwise Bernardeschi could be a nice addition!
What Im trying to say is I rather see us have a team of 11 foreigners who will get us 10 straight CL cups than a team full of Italians which can fight for the CL but maybe will win 1 CL title in 10 years.. (exaggerating a bit)

Sanchez on loan with option and we sell Lemina would be an amazing move as we get a much better player and also get money on the process
If Sanchez proves himself he can remain otherwise we can send his ass back to Bayern but in the meanwhile we get a better player and $...
Our Priority for this summer should be LW RW CM CF RB GK in this order (RB and GK not really needed but it would be nice to get someone to know we are covered)

I'd be down for this scenario, I'm just saying I wouldn't be interested in buying him outright. Too risky as his value doesn't match his production, and if he struggled in bundesliga...yeah there's a risk there.

Douglas Costa is somewhat overrated as well. He's talented but I wouldn't spend more than maybe 25m on him. His finishing is pretty shit. I'm much more interested in Keita Balde.
I sure as hell give a shit. We ain't Inter after all.
inter are systematically building a team based on italian players. that's why they brought gagliardini, recently agreed to get padelli (who replaces carizzo, 2nd choice keeper, but still), have italian squad players like santon, d'ambrosio, candreva, ansaldi, éder and pinamonti. that's why they are targeting both berardi and bernardeschi, and maybe conti, too. i'm not judging it, just saying that it's a new identity they are trying to create. and that's exactly what those milan clubs need desperately in first place.
