Well in my opinion it could be viewed as an attacking formation since Bonucci will be properly protected and left to do his job as regista of defence. In this scenario, he will be free to launch his majestic long balls into the crowd, parking lot, school yards and neighbouring businesses. In this sense it is attacking.
and certainly neither llorente nor mandzukic would mind to be second choice...
on a side note: mandzukic is a cunt. and not the good kind of cunt like lichtsteiner...
Morata + Iturbe combined would be less than even Mandzukic's wages probably.
Even if you take Iturbe's proposed 1.5M net wage. That's 3M we're paying. You take someone on 5M wages and we are paying 10M. Difference of 7M. Multiply by a 4 year contract = 28M in savings.
Then if somehow Iturbe becomes a star and demands a wage increase. Well, we can tell him we're doubling his salary and it'll still be something like 3M which is nothing for a star.

That's the thing. We're spending way too much on wages which caused us lots of problems in transfer market because we couldn't put up a decent bid for any player. We need the squad to get younger and also spend less on wages. When we grow financially we'll be able to handle bigger wages and transfer fees.
