GK:
Donnarumma will leave, so we will need a keeper. Reina would be great.
Defence:
We have too many defenders, but this area is the least problematic IMO. We can stay with the current CB options, and even though the fullback options aren’t great they are serviceable. If we do have additional budget though, I would get a LB to give RR competition seeing as Antonelli is so injury prone. If Bonucci decides to leave though, then we need a starting caliber centre back.
Sell: Gomez and or Paletta
Midfield:
Even though our anchor options are all flawed, I think this is the least problematic area of the midfield. Unless we can sign someone world class at anchor I would leave this position alone. I’d give it until the end of the season to decide whether to sell Biglia or Monto or loan Locatelli.
What we really are lacking are good well rounded two way midfielders, that will help control the game, defend properly and give the team a proper base to play from. Ideally one of the two midfielders should be a goalscoring/assist threat in the final third and can play between the lines as well.
To give an idea of the type/style of players I am referring to, it would be a Modric for the first role and a Thiago Alcantara/Seedorf/Iniesta type for the more attacking role.
Sell: Hakan , Biglia or Monto, Mauri
Loan: Loca (if we keep Biglia and Monto)
Buy: 2 midfielders
Attack:
The worst area of the team. No pace, no ruthless finishing ability, no real creativity other than Suso when he decides not to shoot from everywhere and poor movement off the ball. I would sell whichever of Silva/Kalinic that can raise enough money to go for a proper striker option and let Cutrone and whichever stiker we don’t sell be the backup options. What we also really need are ss/winger type players, of which we have none. We need at least 2 of these players, and also if there is budget left over I would also go for another hardworking pure winger. So 2 Cristiano types, and if there is leftover funds then a Douglas Costa type
Sell: Silva/Kalinic
Buy: 1 CF, 2 SS/wingers
We probably need a couple windows to get these players and probably about 400m so we need to be patient and hope for the best.
