you fucking add to the team like Madrid do and sell the scraps. Stop selling good players each year and we'll get there.
You know that this club will have to keep increasing their revenue before they can do that. Hopefully this is the year where we can stop seeing this happen.

So are we still in for Keita Balde then? So basically Higuain will have Shick and Keita as cover. Meanwhile we lack quality wing options naturales not Mandzukic types made into wingers.

Which was why I think that the Lemina-Dybala sub, as ludicrous as it appeared on TV, was a subtle message to the board that Allegri needs more attackers to make this formation work on a consistent basis
Or to control the scoreline. 4-1 is immensely embarrassing so underwhelming and undermining when in fact we not as bad as the scoreline suggested.

Now that i think about, we could have a situation in the summer where say we sign Di Maria or Douglas Costa for that Left wing side. Then Mandzu goes to bench. And where are Keita and Shick going to feature. Our aim should be right now to improve the XI significantly and then add 1-2 key depth signings. Shick and Keita wouldnt have helped yesterday, are you going to replace a 90m spent striker with one of them? Needed a proper wide player to cause danger and a classy or physical type midfielder.

Actually we deserved to lose and 3-1 was very reflecting even if honestly we didnt deserve the 1..
The 4th goal came when we were down to 10 men because of this excuse of a human being Ramos

Dont know about all you suggested here but Keita could be a revelation if he improves further while we still need to add something in central midfield and as for wingers Keita is not enough we really should push hard for Sanchez as Sanchez could give us the thing we are missing upfront!
In fact the best mercato (even though impossible one) is:
2 wingers who are fast move a lot and create things out of nothing as well as score - Mbappe isnt a winger but he would be amazing on the left while Sanchez would be amazing here too
CM - Verratti and a strong physical midfielder who can also make some offensive work as well as defensive work

This alone will cost us around 300M so impossible

The easier scenario although still difficult is: decide if we play 4-2-3-1 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2/4-3-2-1
If we play wingers Sanchez and Keita are the ones if we play 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2/4-3-2-1 Sanchez could be the one and only addition there
CM - Its obvious we need someone for possession and also muscle so Verratti would be nice but we would still need someone who can add some muscle and even Nzonzi could do the needed work (Bringing Vidal back would be the ultimate though)
Sanchez will cost 50M while Verratti 80M and Nzonzi/Vidal 30M-40M I guess - it will be lots of money but with CL final and some sales we can do it...

- - - Updated - - -

I've heard a lot about Fabinho but Bakayoko should be explored as well. Love that guy.
Bakayoko is interesting but he seems to have a trouble with passing under pressure (at least against us he had 2 bad games IMO)

Two new starting caliber wingers plus Schick? That's too much. Pjaca would barely even play then. Better idea would be to just keep Orsolini.
Who says Pjaca will actually come back stronger? Maybe comes back and has 2-3 games and injured again, after his serious injury cant really be sure if counted anymore.
