Sorry to see him go, but I guess the writing was on the wall. He didn't play much, two games sat through, didn't make a difference when he played and hey - people got what they wanted from the start - two young academy kids staying and being part of the rotation. Rabiot certainly looked better...

He's fine, does the basics well, takes some balls, a run forward here and there, doesn't get you in trouble, but also doesn't make the difference. If he's happy playing a 4th or 5th midfielder role then keep him, otherwise see if we can get 25m or more for him

In fact they had an agreement with him for this summer on a fee transfer. Juventus took him earlier

Yes, he was great first 10-15 minutes, almost scored from Danilo cross early on, but when Cagliari went to a bunker he was invisible just like Locatelli was vs Villarreal. Happens when you're an 8 making runs and your 6 (Arthur) doesn't make any passes forward

That turn, run and shot... I love his passing and simplicity in play. 1-2 touches maximum, passes are always crisp, direct. Just stay healthy and he'll rule as btb in 433 next season

Except the pass to Rabiot in the first half he was ghosting, partly because they were not attacking on his side much. Second half much better, good passes in spaces, recovered balls, carried the ball forward. I want to see him and Loca together alone in midfield.

Everything Rabiot should be and more.

Him and Loca are prototypical type of players to play in the double pivot, for 4231 formation. Pjanić and Khedira did it and these two basically have the legs, physicality and speed times a 100 what they had. Get Chiesa back healthy and get a new LB in the summer and we have the makings of a...

So excited, love everything about him :green:
