rabiot's 5 seasons at juve:
1. he hasn't played for almost a year, bad physical condition, slow start, pretty disappointing
2. bang average
3. bang average
4. expiring contract, somewhat motivated, his highest scoring season
5. expiring contract once again, yet a mixed season. insert gattuso sometimes maybe good classic
i get why we keep him. he'll cost less than 10m and he can somewhat reliably play his game. good in duels (especially when he tries), decent passer, can score, enters the opposition penalty area more than most mids, above average injury record, can press. not a terrible player actually. but when it's the growth decree and the fact that his amortization is basically zero that keeps him around as a starter...
probably the most significant symptom of our banter era. my only faint hope is that motta as a former team mate, friend and even alleged father figure for rabiot can keep him motivated
