I don't even think Mertens was a false 9. If you make that many runs behind the defence, are you not a real 9 at that point? 50 goals in 2 years is the production of a real 9.
He wasn't

I think some people here need to either A) go back and watch him play B) just read what false 9 is.

We have 4 full backs, two for each position. Why would we need another one?
RB: Hysaj - Bum Danilo
LB: Alex Sandro - MDS

Pellgrini (lol, why did we even sign him) out... Oh boy, to think of it we recently had Dani Alves and Alex Sandro as our FB's. How far we have fallen

Alves was crap for 80% of the season - he only showed up in the ucl QTR and Semi.

counting Pellegrini? isnt he going out on loan?
I read he picked a shirt number today. I'm not sure if the loan is a done deal yet/

What a weird statement. We still have Alex Sandro. Hysaj was an absolute bum last season after coming back from injury.

Priority sells should be Khedira, Rugani, Mandzukic, Perin at this point. They are clearly not needed anymore.

How many top teams has 5 CBs? Emre Can could be the 5th cb incase we are missing 3 CBs. It's not likely he will need to play CB but still he isen't worse then Rugani if he would be needed, if you look at quality, potential I see no reason to keep Rugani.

Thought Id post it here.
Did anyone notice Dybala wearing the captain's armband? Signal of intent or last swansong?

By the way guys. I personally would like to simply keep Higuain and Dybala and offload Mandzukic, Rugani and Khedira and call it a day.

In fact, I did an analysis on the impact on P&L of transfers thus far and simply what I said above.

Basically, we would be in the black once you include the Plusvalensa for this year. Excluding we would be behind by 48m (which is more pertinant for the following year given that the plusvalensa is a one-off positive entry).

In that case the squad would be:

GK (3): Szczesny, Buffon, Pinsoglio
DF (8): Danilo, De Sciglio, De Ligt, Chiellini, Bonucci, Demiral, Sandro, Pellegrini
MID (6): Pjanic, Bentancur, Rabiot, Can, Ramsey, Matuidi
FWD (6): Cuadrado, Bernardeschi, Costa, Ronaldo, Higuain, Dybala

Squad of 23. Only 1 would miss out for the CL list (my guess is it would be Pellegrini).

I'd be happy with that. Upgrade in defense, midfield and attack (Higuain over Mandzukic). Only downgrade is right back although Cancelo was a liability defensively at times.
