If they are strikers in his mind, then its a 45-3-3 in his mind. Wich is what he did 2 years ago
Thing is, in terms of presssing, aggression and workrate, both sanchez and lavezzi are much superior to vucinic, even rivalling pepe.
But one mistake you cannot make is name giovinco in the same phrase with those 3.
Giovinco is a pure offensive winger. Offers nothing in defence. Vucinic runs and presses as asked. Lavezzi and sanchez press and work like mad. That is whats making the major diffrence.
When conte says "bitches please i cant switch to 4-3-3 cause of the pepe", what he actually means is "i dont have wingers with high workrate, pressing and aggression".
Wich is why i name sanchez and lavezzi as examples.

I agree Lavezzi Sanchez would be ideal for our case. They are what we need in terms of wingers for 433/4231.
Agreed really. The best way is allways the get the most out of keyplayers, while looking at the best possible formation to do so.
We got killer cm's, an excellent creative deeplying striker, a complete target lone forward...
All we need is 2 workhorse wingers that add something offensively

Adding to that I think we're one player away from 433/4231. It would be perfect to get LB and two more advanced wingers but that's not actually possible to get all of them so fast.
What I'd like to see would be:
Buffon
Licht/Caceres - Barzagli/Bonucci - Chiellini/Ogbonna - Caceres/Peluso
Vidal/Marchisio - Pogba/Asamoah
Sanchez/Pepe - Tevez/Vidal - Vucicnic/Giovinco
Llorente/Quag
Licht/Caceres - Barzagli/Bonucci - Chiellini/Ogbonna - Caceres/Peluso
Vidal/Marchisio - Pogba/Asamoah
Sanchez/Pepe - Tevez/Vidal - Vucicnic/Giovinco
Llorente/Quag
IMO that's one hell of a team that has very good subs and is almost complete. That RM/RWF player is all we're missing. Considering Tevez likes to play in the middle we'd have to use Vucinic/Giovinco for LM/LWF which is why we don't need a super quality LB. Guys like Caceres and Peluso will get their job done by sticking more to defending than actually going forward.
I think this is possible to do and affordable. One quality player and we're ready to go.
I also agree with @DelPiero84 who said we should look to thin our squad a bit. Players like Isla and De Ceglie should leave immediately. Letting Pirlo go could be a possibility also, he's on 3.5m/year but he seems more like being past it (I'd like to be wrong but can't help it at the moment).
Reducing squad number and wage bill should allow us to save some money without dropping quality of our squad.
