There has been lots of talk suggesting that Conte's main demand is the players for a 433. Presuming that's true we will likely go for cheap wingers if we are unable to sign expensive ones. We only need two for the right anyway. Berardi and a loan of Lamela doesn't sound too far-fetched if we fail to get Sanchez.
A lot of interesting rumors going around – Especially according to TuttoJuve..
It seems certain that we will adopt a 4-3-3 next season, but most likely, it will only be an alternative to 3-5-2. Personally, I think that is the best solution. 3-5-2 is perfect for most league games, but 4-3-3 is undoubtedly the best for Europe, at least IMO.
If we consider the above a fact, Sanchez would be the ideal buy. He can play RW and SS. Rumors are that Barcelona is asking for 25M. However, in today´s market that seems too low, and knowing Marotta´s penny pinching, I´m not too optimistic. Other rumors state that Barcelona is willing to give a discount if Llorente is part of the deal. Llorente has been very good even though he lacked playing time and needed to adapt to a different league. But, he can more easily be replaced by another striker than finding another player instead Sanchez that would fit our team, like he would. In sum, I think that we would have to say goodbye to Llorente, in order for Sanchez to arrive.
If that is the case, we need another striker, and it seems the Morata deal is only a matter of time until Juve and RM agree on price. Since Morata is so keen on joining Juve, it must mean that he has been promised a starting spot next season. The question is though, who should be his back-up?
I don´t believe in rumors regarding Madzukic, he is simply too expensive if we already are getting Morata and Sanchez. Also, I don´t think Conte would trust Zaza or Gabbiadini, so the Drogba rumors might not be completely off. Personally, I would have kept Immobile, but I don´t trust Zaza or Gabi, neither Drogba, but I see no cheap/free alternative on the market.
I think Giovinco and Tevez will be used as SS/LW, so we will not make any investment on that wing, and since 3-5-2 propably still would be our most used formation next season, I don´t think we will look for a back-up RW. If needed, we would use Isla/Pepe, and the season after, maybe bring Berradi back.
Only spot missing is a LB. I think Asamoah will be the starter for LB in 4-3-3, and we will therefore be looking for a cheap-ish and young back-up. Rodriguez is way too expensive, even if he indeed would be the best choice. The same goes for Marcelo, I don´t believe we have the funds. That guy owned by Udinese/Granada, Squ…something, looks as the most realistic option.
My bid for next season line-up:
4-3-3
3-5-2

More disgusting and barf-worthy rumors.
There is simply no way marotta doesn't buy us his typical every mercato CM. There will be someone, and you know it.
In order to play 4-3-3 (if we really intend to) we need at least 3 more wingers.
if we get berardi back, we need 2 more. Sanchez alone will not be enough. I personally prefer to see tevez as a striker and not on the wing. Morata backing him would be nice.
A perfect mercato (considering our limitations) would be:
Sanchez ==> llorente + some cash
Lamela\Girezman\Shaarawy\any other decent LW ==> 15 - 20 mil.
Kolarov ==> 10 - 12 mil.
Any decent CM for the bench ==> 8 - 10 mil.
Morata ==> Loan + option to buy
Berardi ==> Loan + buy other half next year.
That's about 35 - 40 mil. With the immobile mony + some others we can get back at least half of that and have a great team for nex season.
4-3-3
