Let's sell Rugani, he showed nothing for us.
I mean loan+option to buy
I mean loan+option to buy
So now that Rugani is dissatisfied with lack of playing time we shall see him because he doesn't want to be here? Next summer if Morata is 50/50 we will sell him because he isn't fully committed? Pogba suggests he would like a move to Barcelona, we sell him without even trying to keep him?
Most of these things are negotiation tactics in order to gain better contracts, higher salaries, more playing time, etc. Young players like Rugani and Coman want more playing time. More established stars like Vidal and Pogba want better wages. If we have any hope of becoming an elite club, we have to be able to convince these players to stay, make concessions on contracts, have a coach willing to play our young players more in meaningless games... Why the heck wasn't Coman starting for us in meaningless matches at the end of last season? Why isn't Rugani the late game sub when we're up 3-1 against Empoli or 2-0 against Sevilla? Why aren't we willing to break our contract structure for Vidal who was our best player in 13-14 and recovering that form at the end of last season, or at least to give him the lengthy contract extension he desires? Is this going to happen with Pogba? Etc.
Stupid precedents to set. Even the rescinding of contracts. Llorente had a better season than Dzeko last year and yet ManCity sold Dzeko for potentially 18 mil while we gave Llorente away for free... What the fuck is with that?
