You have to adjust your squad to fit every good players needs. Costa is just as good on the left as he is on the right. Cuadrado and Bernardeschi are both much better on the right. Therefore it makes sense to play Costa on the left.
I know you really like Mandzukic, but he should be a backup striker and nothing more. He has been found out this season, the tactics of just hoofing the ball to our tall winger was never going to work long term.

Mandzukic is a LW in this fake attacking 4231 tactic...it is crazy to think in a balanced 433 he wouod be played at LW. As for costa he can play either wing problem is both he and berna like cutting in a lot more than cuads dors. Cuads is a bit more narrow and direct down that flank. One thing is for sure, when bernardeschi cuts in to get on that left foot...he causes damage to opposition defenses.
Here's some more of the latest(or rather realistic) rumours...
Juventus working on BONAVENTURA 
Playing for AC Milan since 2014/15, and currently on a deal with Rossoneri until June 2020, Italian international attacking midfielder/winger Giacomo Bonaventura (28) is becoming more and more of a target for Juventus, allegedly in talks with former Atalanta player's agent, Mino Raiola. Jack has been recently become an item of interest for Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea as well.

JUVENTUS close to CONSIGLI for backup goalie position.
While worldwide football legend Gianluigi Buffon is quitting, after a glorious career, and Polish international Wojciech Szczesny is taking over as a regular for next season, Juventus management, according to latest Italian news, is getting closer and closer to sign 31-year old Andrea Consigli, as a reliable and valuable backup.sergio Though being on a deal with Sassuolo until June 2022, former Atalanta stopper seems tempted by the chance to defend such prestigious colours, though not as a regular starter.

Its funny you say he is a CF and thats it when in fact he has played LW much better than he played CF for us...
Mandzukic is not a typical striker - He is a forward who helps the defense - He is not as clinical as Higuain but he makes up for it with his determination and hard work - IMO he is a much better LW than CF but he isnt a typical LW therefore you can call it LW or maybe a wide forward..

I dont like those "realistic" rumors..
I really think we are going to get SMS this summer - He fits the profile perfectly but again we all know what it means to buy big..

Rumors we will buy Pellegrini with his 25m clause

@Lion
Darmian and Bonaventura. All we're missing is Montolivo 
All that mediocrity 
Not sure if Juve pre Calciopoli or if it's 2018 and we recently reached CL Finals in 2015 and 2017.

I dont know - Im not impressed by Pellegrini - He is just another player that completes a team - He doesnt offer anything special and for that we can look for those "Leminas" and pay 10M instead of 25M...
- - - Updated - - -
I dont believe we will be going for Pellegrini while Can will do a Witsel IMO - In the end I think Can will either renew for a mega contract or go to City where the minimum contract is a mega one... This guy is stalling too much and each day it looks more certain that he is stalling for money..
P.S I really belive we will end up getting SMS but we will probably sell A.Sandro because he asks to leave
The whole 3 foreigners vs Italians brawl that occur earlier this season must be a sign
2 of them are probably A.Sandro and Asamoah (I would really like them both to stay but Asamoah is very close to Inter while A.Sandro gets an exit rumor every day)
I agree but you can say that on other players as well
Cristante Barella and last year people would have probably say the same about Manuel Locatelli... This is why Im not exactly in love with this move although if we do sign him I wont be crying "Why god why?!"
- - - Updated - - -
As for someone who mentioned Timo Werner - He is a good player but for 100M we can do much better than him... for example Im sure this Acuna Matata guy will cost less than half the price

Milinkovic-Savic could stay a dream for Juventus | Calciomercato.com
Italian daily Il Messagero reports that Lazio star Sergey Milinkovic-Savic is set to be only a dream for Serie A giants Juventus.
The 23-year-old Milinkovic-Savichas emerged as one Serie A's best midfielders over the last two seasons and due to that, has attracted interest from a host of European giants of the game. This season, The Spain born Serbian has found the back of the net nine times from the midfield, assisting twice so far.
Il Messegero report that while Juventus do dream of signing Milinkovic-Savic and he is a top target for the club, the Old Lady will not overpay for the midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The daily say that the lofty price tag that the biancocelesti have set on Milinkovic-Savic's head is the reason why Juventus will not sign the midfielder. Claudio Lotito really likes the player and feels that he is worth around 150 million euros, which is not a fee that bianconeri will not want to pay, but Manchester United are also interested.
