These are disgusting players that you have cited. Sure we will find someone to play. The problem is not just finding any half assed player but rather very good to world class players. The guys leaving are world class or very good: Tevez, Pirlo, licht, llorente, barzagli. These shoes are too big to fill simply by relying on youth products. We have to dive well into the market and flex the wallet.
we are pretty much already using all these players (bar the attacking trio, although for me Morata should be ahead of Llorente already). Caceres showed against a very good Napoli side that he can be counted on + we are already working on finding a new RB (Vrsaljko, Widmer, Zappacosta are all closely followed by us and we will take the one that shows the best potential). Asamoah is our starting LB already when healthy, and Marchisio has shown this season that he is more than good enough to take Pirlos spot. not to "replace" Pirlo (thats close to impossible) but he has shown other strengths. Sturaro, Pereyra and Romulo are excellent depth for the CM position so we are stacked there for years. we are doing very well so far this season without Barzagli, we will bring in Rugani to eventually replace him and (if needed) probably find a new CB soon. Buffon will stay for 3-4 more years, so the only position where we might struggle is Tevez. we are obviously hoping that Coman or Berardi can do it, but thats what mercatos are for, to find players that can fill in the gap. doesent seem like some impossible mission to me and selling Pogba definitely isnt a must to make the transition.
and why have you quoted me? do you think we have to sell Pogba to replace our aging players or not?

Seeing how Llorente does this season we'd have to look for another CF anyway. So either way we'll need the same number of acquisitions anyway. Be it a new CF or additional winger - it doesn't matter that much.
good point. im definitely for it but dont know how Allegri and Marotta think. also dont know if we could find 2 such players in one mercato. what i think they will probably do is get Zaza and Berardi back and try to find one winger or SS. with Coman, Morata and Tevez that makes it 6 players for 3 spots.

He was a beast for City playing as a CF.
he was tearing the league apart in those 1st 2-3 seasons when he left United
