If we sell Higgy we should not replace him and move the cash into midfield. Bernardeschi was underused last season for the money we paid for him. Dybi, with Berna/Costa behind him, Manzo/Pjaca/Cuadrado universal backups should be more than enough for attack. We need to fix the balance between team departments.
A quick goal estimate for Serie A if we play 4-3-3 with Dybala as a no.9.
Dybala: ~30
Manbro: ~10
Berna: ~7
Costa: ~7
Cuads: ~7
Milinkovic-Savic (other LCM): ~10
Pjanic: ~5
Can: ~5
That's ~81 goals. Higuain will not be a problem replacing. Our midfield and defense is what prevents us from taking the next step.
And no, I don't hate Miss Piggy. I simply think he isn't a fit for the 4-3-3 and he keeps our team off balance.
and i'm sure you didn't read what i wrote.
once again, it's not the pogba-higgy trade which is the main problem, but the fact that the management abandoned the midfield. we could have improved the midfield even with the piggy deal, but we didn't.
piggy was expensive, but a team like juve needs quality attackers, too. we could have bought fabinho instead of some young attackers like the trio i've mentioned (plus add matuidi's price + salary to that budget), and nobody would have a single problem with the higuain deal.
