I think we could play a 4-2-3-1 next season, with wing-forwards like Iaquinta/DP so we can switch to a sort of 4-2-2-2 if needed. Could see this formation bring out some free-flowing, entertaining footie as well. I feel with a new RB we'd have a pretty complete squad, although still a younger, WC CB and a better LB would be needed. Our forward line is pretty potent imo if used correctly and we have alot of options in that area, although not so much depth.
Our defense is full of average players and I think we could use alot more quality there. Midfield is probably somewhere in between, we got two very good CMs in momo and marchisio but I wouldn't say either are WC. At the same time I don't think it'd be worth the $$ nor can we find a better replacement either.
Obviously the fulcrum would be diego and yes it would be a bit of a gamble to build a team around him in his first season. But I think it needs to be done. Although we don't have a person to replace Diego atm, maybe Giovinco or Camo could be groomed for that role though.
Buffon
New RB Cannavaro Chiellini Molinaro
Marchisio Sissoko
Camo/Iaquinta Diego Giovinco/DP
Amauri
Bench: Manniger, Legro, De Ceglie, Zanetti Iaquinta/Camo, DP/Giovinco, Trezeguet
Depth: Treeman, Mellberg, Grygera, Zebina, Tiago, Marchionni, Poulsen, Sali
Squad Size: 26, so we could probably offload a bunch of crappy players for some $$ to fiorentina or something and hope we can entice them like we did with Almiron hehe.
