To the bolded: At least you're not living in a van...

To the rest: I think we need one more good industrial CM. If Marchisio stays fit we have our midfield playmakers sorted betweeen him and Pjanic able to pull the strings. Pjanic is too slow to be anything more than a regista IMO plus he commits retarded fouls too often. What he needs is more technical players next to him...that means less Matuidi and Stu. Khedira is too slow and Pjanic isn't quick either so hopefully Can can add some of that technical ability and hard work. Matuidi offers one of those but not both. I'm confident if we add another top CM that can do well technically you will see Pjanic reach an entirely new level next year.
Caldara is going to do well. Next season IMO we will see the inevitable slide of Chiellini as time catches up to him similar to Barzagli this year and Licht in the 2nd half of last year when we all basically saw it happening. It's sad but its what happens. Chiellini is injured so often too so it makes his comebacks from injuries even harder. Caldara and Rugani will basically cement themselves for certain. Benatia will stay as a starter with Chiellini probably starting too but with max taking his time integrating players we will see Caldara make his way in (that is, if Max stays).
Morata is an absolute beast in the air (headers) and we REALLY need that in the box because Higuain doesn't add that consistently enough, its not his strength. If we manage to sign Martial too without selling then holy shit, that's insane. I get the feeling we will sell Pjaca and Mario is probably leaving too. I'm hoping Max pushes Cuadrado back for certain as the RB next year which would mean we don't need to spend money there. Cuads doesn't have it anymore to be a full time winger surging forward IMO. He is smart enough to make those runs occassionally as a RB which will serve us well.
GK: Woj, Perin
RB: Cuadrado, MDS
CBs: Caldara, Benatia, Chiellini, Rugani, Barzagli (if he renews)
LB: Sandro, Spinnazola
CMs: Pjanic, Marchisio, Bentancur, Matuidi, Can, Khedira*, Fabinho
LW: Martial, Morata
RM: Costa, Bernie
ST: Higuain, Dybala ( we would have to sell one of them, I suppose Morata can fill in for ST too)
*Not sure if Khedira is staying?
**Fabinho is more realistic than SMS so he would be nice because he can fill roles such as CB if an emergency arrives. Good technically and a very hard worker.

That's what I hate about this management. Spending low and medium amount of $$$ on squad depth / prospects with no WC potential, instead of going for someone who will be a starter and improve our squad. We're not freakin garbage town to have only 11 good players. #it'stime for quality over quantity!
Just saying with the rumors of Manbro out the door I don't think Allegri wants to be without a big man in position to bully his fullback and get on the end of Cuadrado crosses.
Allegri seems to be very fond of that and I can see why. That tactic got us two goals in Madrid almost brought us back into a tie that seemed over.

You still haven't addressed my objection that they have finished way below City in the league, behind mediocre United, on level with Tottenham and barely above Chelsea. I guess some teams did know how to approach their mighty attack.
All is wrong in your post. Higuain drops back in every game and distribute the ball further. It's thanks to that move Dybala scored so many goals as he had the space upfront as Pipa lured the defenders away. The last two might be valid but only CR7 has all the skills. What kind of CF he is? The one that can score from every place in the box as he has a wonderful shot technique in both his feet. He's also extremely profilic in that.
Only Dybala is better than him in G+A, what are you talking about? Not to mention he was our best scorer last season by a margin.
