Why is everyone asking for 2-3 more midfielders? Get rid of Khedira and bring in a mid for 60-80 million. Bring another CB in for 30 million. Our transfer spend won’t go over 110 million, as well as getting rid of some dead wood and possible youngsters.
With the current squad that we have those two signings would be more than enough imo.
players that need to be replaced, regardless of the coach, tactics, targets for the season or budget:
- barzagli
- khedira
- caceres
and next season it's chiellini's turn.
players who could use an upgrade: bonucci, matuidi, costa (maybe a brain transplant would do the trick), mandzukic, and everyone who's not 100% dedicated (and that might include dybala or my personal favorite pjanic, too).
that's 2 necessary new cb's and a mid (we already have ramsey), plus the optional upgrades.
i'd be happy with keeping our best players and incoming players like ramsey, ndombélé, romero,
a very good cb, a prima punta, and maybe some youngsters like zaniolo or tonali for the b-list. if we could add an attacking player like isco (who's probably impossible to lure away from real), that would be awesome.
my priority would be a new medical staff though. injuries cost us the progression against ajax.
