I agree that Dybala shouldn't be the only source of creativity in between the lines behind Higuaín/Mandzukic. If anything my preference is to get Dybala the ball further up the field like in his first season at Juve.
However, I worry that Costa is a slightly better version of Cuadrado. Hopefully I'm wrong but my preference would have been an attacker capable of playing narrow or out wide. Costa may be great but seems to be very one dimensional.
Yes this 4-2-3-1 worked. However, we shouldn't be married to this formation. Imagine Dybala in a 4-3-1-2 either as the 1 or part of the striker pair. Juve need two different types of CMs not just a one dimensional winger. If Costa is one of several players, fine. Yet he is being billed as being one of Juve's key potential buys this summer. If Bayern replace him with Alexis, they upgrade while Juve take their leftovers. Bayern are a main competitor!

Keita - It seems that a deal might be possible for Sturarro and 12M if so its a great deal
I have a feeling we will bid for Veratti although not sure if well get him..
as for the second winger it will be between D.Costa and Bernardeschi with the 1st more likely
CM is the tough question - I believe we will eventually skip Tolisso
Nzonzi is a very good player but I dont know if he is a player that can run as much as I believe we need
Milankovic Savic - I think its only a name we like and doubt we will get him this summer..
Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if well see a summer of
IN Fabinho 35 Keita 12+Stu D.Costa 30 Orsolini (already done) Schick 25 ->102M
OUT Lemina 20M Stu 0
Bonucci might be sold if we get a crazy offer - it will be good and bad - the good we will have lots of money to invest on our mid while our defence should remain very strong and we also have Rugani who needs to take the next step and I believe he is ready - the bad is Bonucci has something special that neither Chiellini Barzagli Rugani and Benatia have which is a very good playmaking ability as he is a very good connector of the defense to midfield
Should we get an 80M offer I believe we will sell and honestly as much as Id like him to remain our defense will be just fine without him even if the connection to midfield might get hurt as a result but it will allow us to invest in a department that we really should invest and that is really a shadow of what it once were! (midfield)
I am like you I would like to see Bonucci stays here for a long time but for the good of the team I will understand if we accept such an offer!

The truth is Sanchez 40M Keita 12M+Stu and Fabinho would be very good mercato for us but I doubt we can get Sanchez as he seems to want to stay in the EPL and if not Bayern seem to really like him!

Can someone summarize transfer news for the past two days?
I think Sanches from Bayern song with a more proven CM/CDM would be great mercato for the midfield, and since we have a good relationship with Bayern we can do something similar to what they did with the Coman deal, 1 or 2 year loan, pay some money for loan with a buy option at around 30 million.

We'll never sign Di Maria. Or we'll sign him when he's 33 and leaves his future club. That's just a dream just like Aguero was.
Bernardeschi is surely our pick and IMO it's just between him and Costa. I'll find it silly if we overpay for Bernardeschi as his price seems just retarded. The hype around him reminds me of Bertolacci when he was joining Milan.
