Umm? Wayne Rooney?
The same guy who is 27 years old in an age where players can easily play till 36, has scored about 200 goals for Manchester United and accepted to play in midfield when asked for a good part of the season?
He does have a high salary for certain but he might be willing to accept a bit lower wages to get out of Manchester after he handed in his second transfer request. I think he knows not many teams would pay him that much.. I think we could get him if we offered 2/3 what he makes now. But honestly if Manchester United and Sir Alex think he was worth offering that much money to he is probably worth it. Also he is a massively marketable player so I am sure we can recoup some of that. I think if Sir Alex, Wenger and Mourinho rate him he is prob worthy.

Pogba bumped Marchisio from his midfield position towards the end of the year. So if anything you could say Pogba is the starter and Marchisio is his back up now. Or he will be very soon. Both Pogba and Asamoah though could replace him without losing any of our midfield quality (maybe we would even gain.. hard to say)
Sell Marchisio and Vucinic to generate some cash. Keep Marrone as back up. Sell Matri for 6-7-8 M whatever. Sign Higuain for 25M, Tevez for 12M, Nani for 10M and Ogbonna for 15M value including players in exchange.
Buffon
Licht - Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini
Vidal - Pirlo - Asamoah
Nani - Higuain - Tevez
Plus we have Llorente, Giovinco, Quag, Pogba, Marrone, Peluso, Caceres, Pepe, Ogbonna.
With this group of players we can easily play and adjust to two-three different formations.

The fact we can lose a top midfielder like Marchisio and replace him with 2 equally good players in Pogba and Asamoah makes it obvious we can afford to lose him if it means bringing in an elite attacking option.. we dont have 2 players like rooney sitting on the bench to step in for our non existent starting rooney caliber players. We have no Rooneys and this situation must be addressed haha.
So I am with JCK .. if we sell we must buy an Elite player like Rooney, Cavani, Zlatan, Lewandowski .. too bad we did not go all out and sign Falcao with our whole summer transfer budget. That would have been gold.
