In order of priority:
-#10
-Leftback
-Central Defender
-Right Back
Logic:
-#10: We need an alternate to the regista. I'd love to see Marchisio-Vidal-Pogba with a true #10 behind the strikers in a 4-3-1-2.
Top Choices:
-Seasoned Player: Sneijder, Hamsik
-Bargain Bin: Pastore/Taarabt
-Youth: Julian Draxler, Isco, Firmino, Christian Eriksen
Honestly, Hamsik could be obtainable at a reasonable valuation given that Napoli often benched him last year. They also are absolutely stacked with attacking MFers. Draxler would be my absolute top pick given that he's basically guaranteed to increase in value and he's only 20. Christian Eriksen would be attractive too but Tottenham prob wouldn't sell. Taarabt is probably my least desired choice since he makes Mezut Ozil look like a marathon runner.
-Central Defender: We need a stopper. Ogbonna is more of a technical defender. Barzagli is getting old and needs to be replaced.
Top Choices:
-Seasoned Player: Hummels ($$$$), Diego Godin, Garay,
-Bargain Bin: Paletta,
-Youth: Inigo Martinez, Nastasic
At CB, I don't really like Paletta, and I think it would be tough to get Hummels, or Godin without forking over a lot of cash. Garay may be possible, and Martinez is good, but I think Nastasic is the best option. In Serie A, he played incredibly mature for his age, and is playing ok in a league with a completely different playing style. I think he'd be great for our backline.
-Leftback: Anyone please...
-Seasoned Player: Coentrao
-Bargain Bin: Evra, Criscito, Armero
-Youth: Rodriguez (that's easy, but $$$$)
Best case is Evra. He is still good, and he was replaced at ManU. The pace of Serie A is suitable for him, he knows how to win.
Rightback: A guy who can cross please... If we're going to use a narrow formation, the fullbacks must provide width, and must be able to cross or else Llorente should just be sold.
Choices:
I think a reasonable choice would be Snra from Croatia. Excellent crosser, and due to his age should be affordable.
Overall, my preferences (that should be affordable):
-Hamsik
-Nastasic
-Evra
------------Llorente-Tevez----------------
------------------Hamsik------------------
----------Pogba-Vidal-Marchisio-----------
-------Evra-Chiellini-Nastasic-Snra-------
Because the Scuffet thread is locked I'll just it here.
The Atletico-Scuffet deal has been blocked. Everything was settled, but Scuffet's family have blocked the deal. They want the goalkeeper to stay in Italy and wait for a top Serie A club.
- Gazzetta
I'm happy about that. We can't have an Italian exodus or else the Italian Serie A will look like the Brazilian Serie A.
