Realistic finish to mercato imo:

Spinazzola
Garay
Renato Sanches (loan)
Keita

Out: Asamoah
Maybe: Cuadrado, Kean (loan)
I just don't see us signing another CB. As I said in an earlier thread, if were struggling during the season with injuries/loss of form of our 4 CBs we might dip into market in January to find someone.

Looks to me that we'll definitely sign Spinazzola, a CM (which is a surprise to me TBH) and make one final offer to Lazio for Keita.

He will once matuidi is starting. Or you think higuain is sitting on the bench? Use ya brain.
I think we'll shift between this and the default formation. Using Matuidi as an option for the physical holding mid in the 4231, and the marauder in the 433.

Beeing able to fluently shift between such tactically diverse formations, is interesting.



Notice how cagliari was completely set up to attack our cm, and be ready for deeper dybala with reference higuain.


Boom

3 man mid with matuidi releasing Khedira's defensive work, agile pacefull dybala at the top, and Douglas costa showing up everywhere



How does one defend against that ?

We need ways tog et the ball forward.

So having a good overlaping rb would do. You say Spinazzola, its kinda that

Not sure about Keita

Signing another cm would mean we want to be able to pick out of a strong 4231 and 433(f9) at any point

It would make sense to sell Cuads if we are aiming for trio in MF. In this case id gladly take renato sanches but not on dry loan of course, which appears to be the only formula wanted by Bayern.

Yesteday match got me really excited about Matuidi, im pretty sure he will be fan favourite here

Beppe did say a top mid would arrive :boh:

Very strange though. It would be less strange had we not bought Matuidi.

Signing Kovacic, I mean, if it does happen, only says that we'd use 3 man midfield surely. Which would be very, very strange.
We have too many CMs to play with 2 CMs, then again we Dybala and Higuain to not play 4-2-3-1.

1st world problems :D
