Barzagli and Benatia won't be here next year, and Rugani will either commit suicide or admitted to an insane asylum.
That leaves us with soon-to-be 35 year old Chiellini and Bonucci. Surely we need an upgrade there don't we?
Our midfield situation is far more desperate. Khedira is a corpse. We have 4 functioning midfielders for 3 positions, none of whom can link up in the final third.
If we don’t buy a creative midfielder right now then we’ll get owned in the CL.
will we get a guy in midfield that will help us win CL this season or are we going to ignore the fact that our middle of the field is lacking, as per usual?

If it's the later then let's not pretend that we just realised the one thing we're missing when we get edged out of the CL by some a "slightly better" and slightly luckier team come April.
We should be targeting SMS, especially if both Milan clubs are going for him and his price has gone down. Our midfield is definitely a weak point, and it would suck if Ramsey is the only reinforcement. Unless we are targeting Pogba or a supremely talented youngster, SMS is an opportunity we should capitalize on.
