To me, ideally, for next year:

Stay put:
- All our main guys Vidal, Pogba, Tevez, Litch (renew), etc.

Players Out:
- Llorente (15M)
- Bonucci (12M - this guy makes us hostages of bloody 352)
- Giovinco (free - the ideal would be to renew his contract only to get some value for him, but he won't accept it, so just let him go, he'll never cut it)
- Storari (free)
- Padoin (free)
- Pepe (free)
- Pirlo (for free to USA - unless he accepts a backup role, which I really doubt he would)
- Marrone (loan)
- Gabbiadini (co own 7.5M)


Players in:
- Zaza (15M)
- Shaqiri (20M)
- Berardi (10M co-own)
- Rugani (6M co-own)
- Good/relatively young CB (12-15M)
- Sturaro (back from loan)
- Leali (back from loan)

Total spent: around 30M

Team 4312

Buffon; Litch, Barzagli, Chiellini, Asamoah; Marchisio, Vidal, Pogba; Tevez; Shaqiri, Morata.

Bench: Leali; Caceres, Rugani, Ogbonna, new CB, Evra; Sturaro, Romulo, Pereyra; Coman, Berardi, Zaza.


This way we get rid of regista-Pirlo dependency; 3 CBs-Bonucci dependency; get a younger squad; develop guys like Leali, Rugani, new CB, Coman, Berardi, Zaza, who will have every possibility of getting in the starting 11, mainly the CBs.

And then I wake up to Bonucci, Pirlo and 352 for more 10 years :(
:D

i agree with the 1st part (who we should keep)

Players out: Llorente (yes), Bonucci (i'd rather sell Ogbonna, in fact i wouldt sell BonBon at all, he's been great thus far), Gio (he too needs to stay if we play a 4-3-2-1), StoPaPe (yes), Pirlo (hard to say. i'd really love to keep him but he must regain his fitness and form), Marrone (he can go), Gabbiadini (i'd keep him too)

Players in i mostly agree but i think we will send Leali to another loan and that we will get a cheap (free) older keeper. i also think we won't buy any other CB besides Rugani (depends on if we will sell 1 or 2 of our current CBs)

so here is what we are left with: Buffon, Licht - Barza - Chiello - Asa, Marchisio - Vidal - Pogba, Tevez - ShaqAttack - Morata (though im very skeptic about keeping him as our main CF, not because i dont trust him, but because i fear our management and coach dont trust him enough)

bench: GK, Caceres - Bonucci - Rugani - Evra, Sturaro - Romulo - Pereyra, Berardi - Coman - Zaza - Manolo (id like to put Zappacosta or Baselli in there somehow, but that would be too much).

that way we have enough depth, a young squad, and we wouldnt spend much money for it.

Van Gaal and Guardiola are trying to implement 343 in their teams. We should try to sell them our players that are madr for 353 like Caceres,Bonucci and Asamoah. That way we would have money to sign the wingers or am we need to change formation

In:
-Berardi 8-10m (half)
-Gabbiadini 6-8m (half)
-Pereyra (re-loan)
-Rabiot (free)
-Scar (free)
-Konoplyanka (free)
-Good winger like Shaqiri/Januzaj/Candevra/Gaitan/Shurrle?/Cuadrado?

maybe we could chase a leftback which can be reliable because i won't feel very confortable playing asamoah as Lb as much as i like him at lwb.

What you guys think?
You mean Schär from Basel right? I think he is not for free, as the club have an option to extend for one more year until 2016. I can see him joining his Swizz fellows Sommer and Xhaka and moving to Gladbach next summer.

I think Bayern will buy a new winger next summer (IMO Reus, Draxler or Werner..maybe Firmino as outside bet) so Shaqiri ll be free to leave..20m would definitely be enough, maybe even a little bit less.

In terms of a defender Juve needs to be smart. Remember last year Roma brought Benatia for the same price we got Ogbonna and they ended up selling him for 30m whereas Ogbonna is noe mearly a 10m player. Even now roma brought Manolas who has been very good and would eaily sell over 18m. for example we cannot sell Ogbonna and get Paletta

in terms of wingers I would prefer Schuurrle over Shaqiri. Considering that he is not getting a lot of time at Chelsea i would run at the opportunity of buying him for around 25m

Shurrle Morata Berardi would be deadly!!!!

Can't tell if you are serious. :D

I can't recall if you were on the anti-veratti bandwagon or not :p
Yeah one of them at most should be a starter at CM. From Vidal and Pirlo to Asamoah and marchiso as starters... that is an awful step down.
At at the very most one of the duo should start.

asamoah can be sold if not played at leftback but caceres is solid ar RC/CB and bonucci is fine at CB
That means he's not good enough to play in one of those positions because he's not good in the air to be a CB and doesn't have the attacking qualities to be a RB.

What if I told you that Asa can play in other formations beside 3-5-2?
He could play as CM but we already have Pogba, Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio and Pereyra. Also could play LB but since we have Evra I would bet for a young prospect and use the Asamoah money for wingers

Shurrle is dope but we have no chances for him. Shaqiri could be interesting.

we should try for Shaqiri in January (well assuming we qualify for the Ro16)
:tup:

Haha ONE cross is all the proof you have that Caceres is good at attacking, you're lame i'm done with ya.
Dude Caceres is a much better crosser than Licht. It's a fact.

Caceres is a very decent player as RB. He's fast, good lungs and can cross. He's not an easy one to beat in one vs one.

Asamoah is a reliable LWB for the 3-5-2, a reliable defensive midfielder in any formation and a shaky Lb in any formation. He covers a lot of positions reliably and is good enough to start in at least the formation we use today. Also, unlike the rest of our WBs, Full Backs and CMs (except pogba), he is young. If we switch to a 4-3-3 he'll be a useful rotation player at CM and back up Lb. Selling him would be a huge mistake. Pirlo and Vidal are almost gone man.

Just hire a coach that plays modern football ffs. He'll ask for the players we need. In reality (kill me now) we would dominate with a coach like Zeman
