OK so heres the transfer campaign that I want. I think it is both realistic but importantly necessary
Even though he's not a regular starter for a lower ranked club I will take Emre Can because for a free he is useful for squad depth. On that note I will also accept Balotelli. Again for depth and he's free and to allow Higuaín to rest.
Stefan de Vriji is a no brainer and also free so I'll take him too. Ditto Max Meyer. These are two fantastic players. Both free.
Rafinha is also useful.
So without spending money we can add the required depth to replace our ageing squad in the form of: Emre Can, Balotelli, De Vriji, Meyer and Rafinha.
Then we get to the big signings. SMS is a must. Lets shell it out and secure a world class player. Lets get Martial too, he probably won't be astronomically high and can be a great rotation player. Then our next big signing and after losing Bonnuci and soon Chiellini I believe someone like Azpilcueta would slot in nicely. And our third and final massive signing Oblak. To replace the great Buffon
So players in:
Oblak
Azpilcueta
De Vriji
Rafinha
Emre Can
Meyer
SMS
Martial
Balotelli
Out:
Buffon
Barzagali
Lichensteiner
Khediera
Asamoah
Marchisio
Manduzic
It would be huge. It would be necessary.
