As far as transfers go, I think a big factor that could help sway the big names toward us will be nipping Madrid for the title this year.
In MF, what Lucho needs to decide is what direction he wants our MF to head. Based on how he has them setup now, with the AMs wider and deeper than before, a player like Pogba makes a lot of sense; can provide defensive cover and has the steel of Rakitic but is also inventive with the pass and has great control in tight spaces. However, 75 mil+ will be required to make the deal and would he be willing to stay till January and will Juve keep him out of CL matches? Big ask.
A Raki-Busi-Pogba MF would be amazing at winning the ball back and providing cover. Rafinha-Busi-Pogba wouldn't be bad either.
But for me, I'd rather us push for creativity than steel which is why I'd prefer a MF like Isco or Oliver Torres. Rafinha definitely has potential to become world class, and he can replace Xavi eventually but we need an AM like Iniesta and Isco to me would fit better here than Madrid.
In D, why get a young CB when Bartra looks so good?!
So give me Danilo and either of Pogba, Isco or Oliver and I'm good.
Oliver and Danilo would be smart bargain buys and we could convince Porto to not cup tie them either much more than Juve or Madrid lol.
