Now that we missed Aguero I do really hope we are not going for the emergency forward routine. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to stick with what we have and address the position we have no players for. LW or perhaps two - one first team player and a backup. Another CB - because nobody trusts bonucci and we can't afford have someone injured currently (and we have at least 30 % of the players, injured for at least 30 % of the time, each of the last 3 years) and another midfielder. I know a lot of you are trusting Marchisio and he is ok, but Pazienza isn't a playmaker and I don't think Marchisio is either. If Pirlo gets injured we need a capable understudy. A mid that will relieve the pressure from Pirlo and save him for the important games.
SO: LW/LM x 2; CB; CM - enough so we can spend the damn budget if we have one. We must recoup some cash from the sale of sissoko and melo... Martinez could be the back-up LW... Although he doesn't have a single good game last season, I have a feeling CONTE's system would be perfect for him.
