I doubt Kean will play a role at Juve anytime soon...
And I doubt Mandzukic will accept to sit on the bench for CR7 most of the important games. It's not like i have a Wenger-ish fascination for youth as such, but Kean would likely accept this role. Kean would also be able to offer something as a wide player. But you're probably right. We might send him away.

Sell Higuain. Sign one of SMS / Pogba. Balance the books. Best mercato ever.

Guys get real.

CR7 was an amazing transfer but just remember, with the sale of Higuain, Rugani and Sandro - it is self funding once you consider wages, gain on sales and amortizations saved.

To think we will end up with Marcelo and/or Pogba is being delusional. Pogba would really need to push the transfer really hard and even then I don't see it happening. Pogba was sold for 120m 2 years ago. That means that Man U would need to sell him for around 80m to not lose money on his book value. After doing the CR7 transaction I don't see that happening - only way it could be possible is if we were prepared to offload Pjanic.
