It is possible, though not certain, that the keys to the left-back position will be handed to Luca Pellegrini who has improved this season with his performances(La stampa)
Pellegrini only looks average because AS has been terrible… neither can’t be our LB starter next season

I think some fans need more realism. Look at our competitors for Serie A. Everyone has gaping holes in their squad and no team is fixing everything in one mercato, neither are we. CL is out of our reach for now. Don't even think about it.

So if a Pellegrini at LB means we have the funds to buy SMS or whoever. Fine.

The often injured Pellegrini as starting LB, what a good idea... and what about his backup? Would be wise to get rid of Sandro and get a youngster LB to start.
I get it, that the club has more important other priorities like replacing Dybala and maybe Morata + a goal scoring MID, and maybe Giorgio's replacement, but really big focus needed to the left side too.

1 LB and 1 MF were priorities before our management decide to not renew some players, so if we need to replace Paulo now is up to the manager… salary wise there’s going to be options to go for loans and I guess that would be the case in many of our targets in the summer

Our biggest problem is getting rid of 2/3 people.
Ramsey above all.
Rabiot
Arthur

Problem? it's very unlikely to happen.
The hardest part is Ramsey cause at least the other 2 are young and fit while Ramsey....
Arthur to Arsenal?
Rabiot to United
Ramsey to anyone even if it means giving him money to terminate our contract 1year earlier.


Then we have another problem.
We lack cunts in the team.
We miss the Tevez,Lichsteiner and Vidal.
So we'd need to target players that after quality also offer character/cuntness to a pussy team.

After those 3 players which should go no matter what.
Luckly Dybala and Bernardeschi contracts gonna expire. So I won't count them as a problem.
We'll have few other problems to solve.

Morata? we can't and shouldn't buy him out for 35m. We already paid 20m for the guys and we shouldn't spend no more than 15m to buy him out else it's Atletico's problem
If we can't buyout Morata our problem will be finding another cheap but kinda reliable sub-striker.

Kean? I knew he was a mistake since we signed him. We managed to scam Everton for 30m and now we got him as a last second striker for 3+4+28+3 ....
Our priority should be to find a team willing to take over our deal with Everton.
as of right now we paid 3m for this year loan, we're supposed to fork another 4m for next season loan and then obligation to buy for 28 + 3 bonus....
But whose gonna bail us out of Kean which we agreed to pay 35+3bonus? Madness.

Same problem if Kean,Morata,Bernardeschi and Dybasla goes we'll need strikers.
Because we'd be left with Vlahovic,Chiesa and Cuadrado...

Giving that we'll play 4-3-3 and that Vlahovic-Chiesa will need a third partner which should be a LW who is the name that: a) we can afford to buy b) we can afford to pay (wages) c) young enough to be profitable.

Can you suggest names for our new LW?


Midfield giving that we manage all our dreams and get rid of 2/3 players (Ramsey+ someone) targets?
What kind of players we need?
I wouldn't go for Pogba as much as I loved him. Almost 30yrs old. Years of injuries. Crazy wages. Same position as SMS.
The natural choice for us should be SMS if we can afford to buy him.
Then we'd need someone to play together with SMS and Locatelli infront of the defense who can offer long passes and fantasy.
Someone not too old and not too expensive giving that if we sign SMS we won't have much budget left for another top dog.


Defense argument.
Chiellini without the World Cup should retire in summer.
Bonucci is 35yrs old and started missing too many games.
We sold our young prospects such as Romero and Demiral
We must HOLD on De Ligt! we'll make another problem if we short sighted and sell him for profit.
We should keep him and add another starter and keep Bonucci and Rugani as subs.
Because we can't change 3/4 of our team.
Left and Right Backs.
Who are current options?
RB: Danilo,Cuadrado and De Sciglio
LB: Danilo,Sandro and Pellegrini

Everyone should agree to keep Danilo that in need can also play as CB.
Same shit for Cuadrado.
De Sciglio is needed for our Serie A rules , Pellegrini as well.
So we should sell somehow Sandro and replace him
names?
Renan Lodi , Gayà and who else?

I won't dig too much in keeper position since Szczesny with his 9m/year and 2 years of contract left is untouchable

Twisting and turning, really. With an extension for Paulo, we'd be looking for a starting striker as well.

You can add Szczesny and AS to the list. I'd say Bonucci too but they won't even try getting him out

So much room for improvement. Really interesting that Zakaria is as cheap as Bentancur. Final year of Douglas and Pjaca on that list. Mandragora will get us some money, Kulusevski and Demiral (really sad in both cases, especially Demiral) will be sold obviously. Bernardeschi and Dybala away will save us ~21m gross wages. Cuadrado, Perin and De Sciglio might become a bit cheaper on that list due to a wage cut. And as last the biggest problems with Arthur, Ramsey, Rabiot and Sandro.
