Let me ask you a question. I want to ask @King of Kings too.
What if the clubs goal was to bring back Berardi next year and knowing that after one more top flight season under his belt he would be that player we are looking for up front? That pacey/tricky player fearless at taking on defenders. I mean, we have talent out there it appears so why spend 35m on a Sanchez when we have a similar player (not comparing, I know Alexis is better, at least now anyways)?
Does it make sense to use up our money to strengthen our bench with new players on lower wages and selling the older players with high wages and closely monitor our loaned players? We already have a very strong starting 11 for more than one formation and knowing the 3 tournaments we will be in means we need a stronger bench. Our bench players weren't enough for the Coppa, for example and if we want to win metal we need to rest our starting players and let our bench play as well, especially in Coppa.

Lastly, we had much better result with less players injured under the Conte methods. Who knows now with Allegri we might start seeing more injuries again now that Conte and his team have left.
