I think the chance of getting a forward with Palacio and Icardi here already is next to 0.
We might get a forward, but not a 'great' one that people are asking for. I just dont see where they fit in, tbh.
I think first we need to understand what formation we plan to play...
Handanovic
Ranocchia Vidic JJ
Nagatomo Hernanes M'Vila Kovacic Dodo
Palacio
Icardi
Doesnt leave much room for that much in improvement, short of moving a player you wouldnt really want to drop..
Ranocchia isnt going to get dropped, even if we'd prefer Rolando there.
Vidic, not getting dropped
JJ possibly but we're not currently linked with a CB
Nagatomo possibly but we arent moving for an RWB
Hernanes very doubtful considering what we paid for him
M'Vila is looking quite good so far, so why? Plus we already have Medel
Kovacic no way
Palacio no way
Icardi no way
A rotation forward slot is the only thing we have going, and replacements for Guarin/Alvarez, as well as a new CB (Medel might be filling that role)...
Someone like Lavezzi must mean the dropping of Palacio?
