The core of the team should be kept (life would be so easy if we play with a back 4):
(1)
Handanovic (if possible for at least one more year, so that we can have one more season to check Bardi)
(2)
Hernanes, Kovacic, Icardi, Palacio, Juan should be kept at any cost
(3) Would be great to have
Cambiasso in the team with low wage for one more year, so that Nilton/? and him can rotate
(4)
Guarin is big question mark and I won't mind him if he is let go for some good $$ - for being Mr. Inconsistent
(5)
Jonathan - I have not been impressed with him, even when he had been cheered by others. He is simply an average player and thats it. I even doubt if he is the player if we are to fight for the Europa League places. He seems to be doing well for some coz of Mazzarri's tactic only.
(6)
Taider - should be given chance and might do well with a different formation/coach.
(7)
Alvarez - Not a big fan of him and he doesn't deserve the raise which has been rumoured. Easily replaceable player.
(8)
Botta - Should do well in a 4-3-3 formation. Loan is another option.
It all depends on the coach and formation for me. I don't think that Mazzarri's 3-5-2 is going to work for us.

I've never noticed this but wow after looking at JJM's post, we actually look very good in a diamond.
-------Icardi---Palacio-------
----------Hernanes----------
-----Kovacic-----Guarin-----
----------Cambiasso----------
Nagatomo--Juan--Vidic--Jonathan
----------Handanovic----------
With a proper coach, this can actually challenge for the Scudetto considering how piss poor the other teams are.
Good line up but I still don't want Jonathan to be there.
