Sure. It will not be easy. But a lot of things can happen. Mourinho looks likely to leave RM. Players like di María have not impressed for a long time and struggle with consistency. Ôzil is marvelous on a good day but the same can be said about him. Benzema and Higuaín are not going to be happy with the current situation forever. What about Ronaldo? Will he stay? Will he decline?
A lot of things can change. I will pass judgement after the transfer window. But for sure it will be interesting.
If I was RM I would go after Verratti. If Carlo moves to you then that would be a logical move and a great replacement for Xabi.
Jose will leave Real this is decided since last summer , i don't see a change of heart
the difference is that you have a fixed formation , you can tweak it a little here & there but it's fixed.. make it easier for home grown to play and harder for outsider to gel in
we don't know who the next manager will be and what formation he will play with.. for example if Carlo is the one coming in i see Di Maria position is redundant
unless he turn him to Cafu 2 and play him an attacking full back i don't see him fitting in the stereotype Carlo formation
CR will /should be replaced by Bale is he is leaving (which is better ) same thing for Benz & Higuain they facilitate CR game if you remove CR we will build the game around a regular striker without counter attacks
But as u said a lot will be clearer in the summer when we know the new manager and player movements
