Arthur should be forced to watch videos of Verratti play football everyday.

He has a very similar dribbling style to the Koala Midget. Now if he can just learn how to tackle and learn how to pass forward, he would be just as good as Verratti.
So you mean if he learns how to play football he can become a good player?

So he'll come back end of September I guess, then will struggle for fitness until at least January after no pre-season, on top of already having no fitness levels. Sounds promising.

Literally keep Fagioli and give him minutes around (Locatelli), Bentancur, Rabiot and McKennie.

He's going be a huge capital loss regardless so it really doesn't matter.

I was reading today that Ranocchia also has some chances to stay.

Honestly it are difficult decisions regarding our youth players. If Fagioli will bench another season we practically destroy him. Two seasons on the bench at that age is a crime. Ranocchia has similar characteristics like Benta, Rabiot and Loca. Both are to good for another season in C, so going between U23 and the first team is a bit of a waste of time in my opinion.

That's why both will be loaned out to Serie B, to warm some benches there.

Juve style :baus:

Loan out with option that can be obligation for around 15m if they played more than 25 matches or certain minutes fulfilled
With us having buyback option for around 20m . This is the case for Fagioli, this can be done for team like Genoa , Venezia (promoted team), or any other middle to low Serie A team (especially the ambitious promoted team)

Fiorentina use this model when they loan Sottil to Cagliari, Cagliari activated the 10m option just for Fiorentina to counter option for 12m
2m is 1 season development fee to Cagliari and I think this is fair + better for Fio instead left him on the bench

Like @U Picciriddu said above, another year in the bench only getting around 5-8 matches where most of them come as substitute will kill Fagioli career
1 year in lower Serie A team with full season will do him great I believe we will benefit more from that than let him sit on the bench week in week out. (When he in the bench for us in Serie A, he does not play in U23 too. How player can improve if he only sitting on the bench)

Big fail from our medical staff. Unbelievable
On the face of it is easy to say that, but I think the issue with his injury/illness is that the only way they could see how to progress was to wait and see how he healed, so the only treatment was time. Now they've got to the point where it isn't healing correctly so they need to operate.

Essentially he's had some impact trauma in this membrane between the tibia and fibula and it has healed causing calcification, which is painful even for a normal person, and is basically unplayable for a sportsman. I think they tried radiotherapy with it but to operate and clean it up and heal is going to take time out.

Considering he played a fair few games last season with this issue it's best to get it sorted and see how well he heals.
