After a million years with us, suddenly now he doesn't fit the group? The only young-ish guy from our 3 CB's? The one most likely to play long enough with Caldara and Rugani to be able to effectively create a smooth transition? Just fukc'em?
Tevez, Vidal, Pogba, Bonucci, Alves, Sandro.... Add a few names like Dybala to that list and you've got an extremely impressive side building up there
I hate Allegri, and I hate that we haven't managed a CL title in the era of utter domestic dominance we've built for him, but even I would have to admit that we're setting him up for failure with these departures.
This is how you fall off the throne. We're so incredibly lucky that only Milan are moving aggressively in the market. Napoli and Roma are literally handing us a lifeline with their crappy mercatos so far. Unless Milan do something crazy like buy Aubameyang or Belotti, we don't have to worry about them just yet, but we're really bending over backwards to help their cause.
