Last one was isla iirc

Invest in Lulic and Cuadrado next summer, and bring Berardi aboard
I think Tevez can be sold along with the other dead weight. Tevez cant play in a 3 man attack unless played out of position and secondly he is not the clinical goal scorer we wished he was. Llorente i am very impressed with i would like to see him as the main striker. Vucinic and Gio can be sold, Gio is not good enough and Vuc is 30 and he is still hit and miss.
We have 3 right backs Isla, Caceres and Lich. Isla is the odd player out for me as he is terrible in attack and defence. Bonucci is an accident waiting to happen in most of our games he is decent in a back 3 but if we move to back four he will be exposed to much so best off to sell him. DC11 not good enough to play more than 5 games a season for us. I like Peluso as (sub/rotation) player he gets the job done and is not bad at it.
Pirlo i would like to keep him but only as a part time player. We cant rely on 35 year olds every game it is not healthy for the team. A midfield of Vidal-Asamoah-Pogba as our main starters is pretty impressive, we have Pirlo and Marchisio to rotate in and out which are good options.
Cerci would be a decent purchase i think for us he can play right wing and through the centre and is very versatile. He would be a decent option for the right wing spot and wouldn't break the bank. We have Zaza and Berardi if we want to give a chance to youth. A LB is a must this season cant have Asamoah playing out of position all the time in a role he is not great at. Coentrao is available this summer a good LB for a reasonable price.
We are not that far off being a complete squad we just need the management to get there act together and start buying useful players.

cerci can be a nice backup for wingers.
Exactly the point that infuriates me, and why you see me go on and on about formations all the time.
People post formations with average players, and expect it to deliver cause it has a certain shape.
People forget that our 3-5-2 would easely lock down that formation cause licht and asamoah will win the duels, and with wingers out of the game, our very strong CM wins the battle.
People forget, that this isnt real madrid. Yes, real can go wingplay and trash a 3-5-2. Just like Bayern.
WHy ? cause its fucking ronaldo, bale, di maria, robben, ribery, muller on the wings.
You dont buy such world class for peanuts
So we should get as much quality on the field as possible, and accomodate them with the formation that brings out most of them. hence the 3-5-2 around pirlo vidal marchisio/pogba

although I would argue even now a 4-3-1-2 would be better than 3-5-2 with freaking bonucci
Buffon
Licht-Barza-Chiellini-Ogbonna
Pogba-Pirlo-Asamoah
Vidal
Tevez-Llorente
then we could get AM like Silva/Mata etc and LB maybe Coentrao/Kolarov etc

What has he done special for us in the CL? he hasn't done any thing and he is no Del Piero. Del Piero could do something special along with scoring crucial goals as well. Tevez is just a mediocre version of Del Piero and i never liked his purchase in the first place just because he limits the formations u can play with him.
I think he is a pretty good player but u have to play 2 strikers every time with him.
