Just need to get rid of Raiola. 

Rest I agree with.

World Class performance against Juventus? You didn't forget his 3-4 huge brainfarts in the 1st half vs Juventus, did you? The ones where we got lucky not to concede because he left the line and completely missed the ball? It could have been a very different ending of the season if only 1 of those went in at the time....

Either way. I'm not discrediting him or his performances. We'll see what happens. Just wanted to say, his performance against Juventus was in no means a world class one. Today, he rarely had anything to do. But that's not his fault. When called upon, the little that it was, he wad there and ready.

Anyway...I don't want him to leave for free. So I hope terms for extension can be found. Having said that, I'll say what I always have.....the terms have to be fair to him, but they also have to be advantageous for the club. 
We don't know the whole truth. Just bits and pieces from the media. For all we know, our offer may have been contingent upon the CL. For all.we know, his acceptance could have been contingent om the CL too. We don't know. But we'll see what happens very soon I assume.
Insigne would be a real signing of intent. He instantly guarantees top four by weakening a direct rival. If we can get Meite for around 5, he is a great back up to close up shop. I love Dalots versatility and he should be considered as well.

Combine that with Tomori and TonAli redemptions, im not sure we have money left over! I imagine Leao and Hauge are probably out. RW is becoming more of a want than need.
RW should be a definite need. Our attack in general is hugely inconsistent. We get very little to no offensive contribution from the right side. Saelemaekers is a hard worker. He also keeps improving on the ball, but he's still some ways away from being a CL starting material winger. Samu just needs to go. Imo, we absolutely need a starter at RW if we don't want to go through the same frustrations again next year.

Dalot was useless in many games. I remember almost all of us here being so frustrated at him. He did decent in some games also though. But if I take a look at the entire season starting from August, I'm not so sure he's done enough and he's grown into the side enough to warrant a transfer fee. The only thing he has on his side is the fact that United doesn't seem to really want him too. So another loan could be possible.

Compare it with what we have and make your own conclusion who we have to sign.

Well, Suarez taking a lower salary is still a very high wage, far too high for us. We simply are not in that financial atmosphere to get guys like that.
Fundamental to get a high quality player on the right. It's been embarrassingly bad this season with hardly any goals from the right and only bring able to attack from one side.
Possible money to be made: Conti 5, Samu 7, Krunic 5, Laxalt 5 and no one else.

To add ~25 million to budget you have sell one of Leao or Romagnoli. The answer is likely obvious but if you had to choose one to sell, who?
Can't they both stay? If Roma can suck up his pride, there will be room for him and Gabbia in a CL side. Kjaer looks old and is on the wrong side of 30. Roma's salary is the primary concern for me but he can learn a lot from Kjaer. We have to keep Leao though. If Pioli can make Kessie, Theo and Bennacer into monsters, he needs to unlock this man. Leao has the tools to be really really good.

Would you guys sell Bennacer for 50mil (I think his release)? He has not come back close to the same player since his injury. Also, this team seems to work pretty well without him (though we were great when he was doing well). Between Tonali, Pobega and possibly redeemed Meite, there may not be room.

Other possible sales - Hauge and Pobega (probably 15 between the two)

100% need a top player for RW. Dalot would be fine for another loan with the option to buy. He's been a useful addition to the squad just not one worth 20m or whatever it is Shitchester was asking for him. I don't see why they wouldn't let us extend the loan. not sure there's anyone else wanting to buy him.

the issue with those guys is who would buy them. I can see Samu and Krunic being sold but can't see anyone taking Conti and Laxalt.

Surely you'd sell Leao. We look to be keeping Pioli so nothing will change from that regard so no point keeping a player that doesn't seem to work for us. Particularly because the rumours have interested parties from the EPL willing to pay 35m for him. 

on Romagnoli. If he's willing to sign on for a decent wage then let's go for it. IF not then sell him too ASAP. 
I would also

I think Theo and Bennacer were going to become monsters regardless. Kessie I feel was a confidence thing. 

I love Bennacer but if a 50m offer came, surely we'd need to consider selling only because the we could use the money toward a RW and CAM
