Maybe so. But we still can't afford to build a proper team on 433. At least with 352 we can compete in Serie A, trying to change into 433 with players not good enough would get us nowhere. Don't you agree with that?
We can win Serie A with any formation IMO.

To change to 4-3-3 requires one great winger, and you can shift Tevez to the other wing. If you sell Bonucci (since you're moving from 3 CBs to 2) you can finance about half of that purchase.

And we'll still have all the players necessary to play 3-5-2 as well, in case we encounter any problems. It's certainly attainable IMO. I agree that changing to 4-3-3 just to field Cerci and Berardi or something on the wings is dumb. But I think doing better is certainly possible and should be the goal.

Yeah, I made a post a while back about what we would need to let us play 3-5-2 successfully in Europe


The type of 'wing backs' we need are practically non-existant

Alaba would probably be the ideal LWB

He's obviously not available.

I guess Ribery could even suit that role. Again, he's not possible to buy

On the right I guess Cuadrado COULD be ok, very few players could defend well enough and provide such an attacking threat.

Also, we would probably need a World Class striker considering so much of our danger would be coming from our strike partnership.


Staying with 3-5-2 is obviously not costly. Actually upgrading it to the level we would realistically need is expensive and difficult if not impossible.


EDIT: I forgot to mention we would also need to replace Pirlo with an expensive CAM

No point replacing him with a similar player, because that would be a step down in quality no matter who we purchase.

Why do people want us to change into 433? We would need attacking wingers and a leftback for that formation, sounds pretty expensive. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just improve 352, just buy some good wingbacks if there are any?

And 4312 is a no go, at least I remember how it turned out with Diego...and I had high hopes with him/that formation back then.
Currently in this Juve squad there is only one player that could be considered an actual wingback which is Isla. Currently I think Isla has been preforming very well however Licht is the player who will start and he nor Asa are wingbacks. So we technically need 2 proper wingbacks.(Like MikeM said, there is no player who is an actual wingback) Then you also have to think about the situation with Pirlo. With a 3-5-2 Pirlo and Bonucci are the long ball passers and the ones who try to dictate the play. Who would we get to replace pirlo? Veratti? He will cost around 30m or Pogba. I dont see how some people say it would be cheaper to keep the 3-5-2 given we dont even have the players to play the 3-5-2. A 4-3-3 with tevez in a free role would require a winger and a lb while a 4-3-1-2 would only require an attacking midfielder/ trequartista and a left back. Sure it would be probably be slighty more expensive however there are more attacking midfielders, wingers, and left backs then there are registas and wingbacks.

Also, yeah we could afford Di Maria. But only if we concentrate on selling players for the sort of prices most other clubs manage.

Bonucci would have to go, we should take 20M for him. Sounds too expensive right? No. Not today where shit players can fetch you nearly 10M.

Vucinic 10M

Giovinco 12M


If we have to accept 2 year installments then so be it. At least we know the money will be there eventually. Also, we would be nothing short of idiots if we pawned our players off to mid-table serie A clubs. We'll end up getting 3M or we'll do a Melo type deal where we loan the player out for 2 years and get screwed out of a large chunk of cash


We need to play hard-ball when selling our players. And Conte needs to stop trying to block the sales of Matri type players.

If we were to do that which could be possible, we would have to have another winger cause it would be Pepe and Di Maria, and we would need another cf. We would only be left with Llorente. So that would be very difficult

Menez would be ok for now. Until we can upgrade on him

We'd have Tevez, Llorente and Quags also.


So let's say we make 35M from sales. We spend 25 of that on Di Maria

Menez wouldn't come into play because we could easily afford him now, or even wait until the Summer.

We'd have 10M left + 15-20M of our actual budget. We either look for another expensive Winger or we just spend some of that budget getting more depth and call it a day. Either way it's affordable so long as we sell our players the correct way. Not just pawning them off to Atalanta for 3M + another Padoin.

If Di Maria is really leaving he will not come here for 2 reasons. There is no way we will pay 25m for him. Honestly I value him at 30-35m and also the wages will always be a problem. Also you think Bonucci will be sold? Why would he leave? He is playing and winning

Switching to a back 4 means one of our defenders go

It makes sense to sell Bonucci. As for why he, himself would go. Well, if we told him he wouldn't be starting week in, week out he'd want go to. Not to mention Monaco want him, they'll give him plenty of money i'm sure

As for Di Marias valuation, well it's all speculation. One thing's for sure. He's going to be very unhappy trying to break into a team with CR and Bale. In other words, not gonna happen. So we'll see how much Madrid want for him

To say we undersell our players is mere nonsense.
Its not like we have world beaters on the bench like madrid.You have to take so manu variables into account in these accepts.
For example what can we do if a russiam team is offering 15 m for our player but that same player wud rather go to another italian team where they are offering a cheap fee?
We become powerless in those instances.

Thinking just CL is ridiculous. If we play with 433 in CL then we would play mostly with it in Serie A too.

I love these theories "we get 35mil on sales and buy someone for 25mil, we actually get richer". When is the last time that we actually got that much for selling players? When is the last time when we got more from sales than what we lost buying? We can't sell players at all, we fucking suck in selling players. And that ain't gonna change while Marotta is in charge.

The players we 'sucked' at selling were the overpayed, shit useless players from the last era

There's no viable reason we can't sell our current players the same way every other damn club does it
We couldn't even sell Melo. That should tell you something. But go on, stick with your weird dreams on this debate.

this is for the CL only
i know... i read your post and even "replied" to that part.
how is this supposed to work? we train and play 352 all season long and when we get to the cl knochout stages we just switch to 433 and magically crush real, bayern and barca just because "hey, 433 is great in cl"?
not to mention that tevez will obviously be fine with getting benched for the most important games. oh and i guess the 433-wingers, who are (most likely) not suited to the 352, will also be fine with being benched all season long and then get thrown on against the top teams?
so i guess we will abondon 352 altogether?!
more information could be useful ^^. i don´t think i will become a fan but i want to make sure that i understood you correctly? :D

Well we were fucking stupid agreeing to loan him out, getting shafted by Gala and then loaning him out AGAIN. But if we didn't act like pussies when selling players then there is no reason why we can't get decent prices for our decent players. We shouls be able to move Scudetto winning Italian Internationals on for reasonable fees. Then we re-invest that money on the squad.

You know... Like every other team has done hundreds of times.

i would not see bonucci unless we but a top young replacement (ie. kurt zoumba :tuttosport:) and with barzagli getting older it is not really ideal. I would rather see vucinic, giovinco, isla and padoin etc... but not bonucci. i see chiellini + bonucci as our starters when barzagli retires.


in terms of 433 i would get menez (free), berardi (back buy), bonaventura (loan) and someone like pedro/dimaria/cuadrado/griezmann (which is affordable if you use 10m for vucinic, 12m from giovinco 5m from isla etc.....)

so, we would have 4 good wingers and 3 centre forwards which is good enough for next year.
