I've seen enough of them. It's time for a change. Nothing in the CL, nothing in games we should finish opponents off...

:shifty:
Dybala looks better if he has to work less hard defensively. Cavani would allow him to rest more and be more effective offensively. Higuain doesnt.

The only way Higuain would leave is if
1. We would want to sell him
2. If Chelsea decide they want him and then they`ll probably pay 60M...
I cant see any other scenario..

As for all the Cavani fappers in here - Dont think Cavani will be that much different than Higuain.. You`ll see someone who is less heavy but you`ll see less things like the pass he gave Dybala - overall it would be better when we face big teams like Real but not that much better when we face smaller teams...
In any case Higuain is very likely to stay and Cavani is very likely to never arrive here...

Dybala-Higuain partnership never was gonna to work out in any formation we were shaping up to play, this is why Pogba-Higuain swap was retarded to begin with

Pragmatically speaking Higuain is worth peanuts on the market so the losses of his sale exceed the benefits and Dybala is simply our best and most talented player, so if Beppe decides to sell him he HAS to be replaced by another rocket (midfield preferrably)
not if you sell to a team desperately looking for a quality CF like Chelsea, we should still be able to regain ~50-60m for him if we find the right club to sell him to

If we can get somewhere between 40-60m then we better sell and limit our losses. We need to get him replaced relatively soon anyway. Would be interesting to play with Dybala as a lone striker, but with the wingers we got on our team now and our style of pumping balls into the box aimlessly, Id say we get a striker who is good in the air. We need a Zlatan, Dzeko, Mandzukic type. Morata would be perfect to get back.

Any chance of getting Morata this window? can we please get him? What is his status at Chelsea, what would he cost, and do you guys value him?

Beppe:

" A return for Pogba or Morata? I don't believe in returning horses, but there are exceptions," the chief explained to Mediaset Premium.

"They can be two exceptions, they are two good guys who have left good memories here. But the stories they have concocted in Madrid and Manchester are false.

"Did we spend €90 million on Higuain? When Pogba left, it was an extraordinary expense. But we have a lot of imagination, besides the names of Pogba and Morata."

Another Manchester United player to be linked to Turin is defender Matteo Darmian, although Marotta denied a transfer had already been agreed with the Italy international.

"A done deal for Darmian? Absolutely not," he added.

In theory its true, but does Martial offer the same kind of workrate Mandzukic does ? Is Allegri going to go all gung ho attacking mode and leave our 2 CM's exposed ?...
4-3-3, dybala sold, cuadrado/berna on the right, costa/martial on the left, higuain/martial as cf's.

btw it's not our attack that needs to be fixed, it's still our midfield. can would look all right, but i hope we'll get some better players than pellegrini.

I like having Dybala and Pjanic in the same team for their FK threats. We have two of the best, that's a nice luxury. Find a taller Striker and keep Dybala because we wont always play the same formation next year.

Higuain is gonna finish out his career here. If any of the forwards leave it’s Mandzukic. In the end he’s the odd man out. Sandro is another who is out and thank God for that. We need another forward with pace a defender and two midfielders

When I look at the last games, it seems he already has.

nah, he's the only one that makes sense with either of Dybala and Higuain in the 433, because he provides aerial threat and a reference point, neither of which Dybala or Higuain are very good at. sure we might replace him with a younger option, but he shouldn't be the first one out, he's actually a piece that makes our systems work unlike some other attackers
