If we're gonna bring in wide players it's gotta be wingers. Enough with this WBs bs.
You have to switch to a 4 man defense and start by shipping out *at least* Bonucci, Isla and Giovinco to fund a new winger or two.
Ogbonna can back up Barzagli and Chiellini. Lichtsteiner and Caceres can handle RB just fine.
Right now I see our team like this for a 4-3-3:
Your top 2 priorities would be LB and RW. You could put Pogba into Pirlo's spot and put Asamoah/Marchisio at LCM but I think I'd rather shoot for the best team possible and that includes Pogba at LCM, not DM.
So you can fill DM maybe with Marchisio/Asamoah or you have to find a new player, maybe Radja. I don't want this player to be a slow regista like Alonso on a free. Let's move on from Pirlo please.
RW needs to be a great player. Bonucci + Isla should be at least 15M. Include 15M from our pockets and you can get a great player like maybe Di Maria. Take advantage of the Coentrao rumours as well please and the free DMs available.
good team with a modest investment.

Other than that I agree.
Agree
No more Deep lying playmakers please. I'm so grateful for what Pirlo has done but we don't need a defensive liability and quite frankly don't need a DLP when we have 2 wide men who can attack as opposed to 3 CBs and 2 attackingly inept wing-backs.
Not sure who we should and could get at LB atm.

Next Summer is vital
If we don't move away from 3-5-2 and sell a huge amount of these 'wing backs' who are nothing but dead weight, we're as good as done as far as the CL goes.
1 CB needs to be sold, Padoin and Peluso and PDC and all that mob need to go
Bring up some youngsters for cup games and depth if needed. Spend big on players who will actually help us, we need attacking players whether it be attacking midfielders or wingers.
Look at the players who have been our very best over the last 2 seasons
Barzagli - CB
Bonucci - CB
Chiellini - CB
Lichtsteiner - RB
Marchisio - B2B CM
Vidal - B2B CM
Pirlo - Deep lying playmaker
Our offensive unit has quite frankly been mid-table.

Other than that I'd propose 4231 as an alternative to 433. We know Conte will pick 433 ahead of 4231 but it is a nice alternative too.
Licht/Caceres - Barzagli/Ogbonna - Chiellini/Ogbonna - Asamoah/Peluso
Vidal/Marrone - Pogba/Marchisio
RM/Pepe - Tevez/Vidal - Vucinic/Tevez/LM
Llorente
Vidal/Marrone - Pogba/Marchisio
RM/Pepe - Tevez/Vidal - Vucinic/Tevez/LM
Llorente
So we basically could live with one signing - RM/RWF. It would be nice to get a proper LB an possibly LM too but I tried to put little changes to the squad knowing we don't have a big budget. If we had more money we should go for LB and LM/LWF too.
