That is the problem, if our youngster is 50 points while our starters is 65 points and we keep playing the starters instead give the chance for our youngster to surpass that 65 points starter and becoming regular. Once we give our youngster to other club with 55 points starter and can not improve anymore, the logical thing for them is to play the youngster that still can improve. thus after 1 season that youngster already becoming a 70 points player that look better than our shitty starter. This is happen for Romero, he does not have a spot with us, but he actually surpass Bonucci with his performance at Atalanta because he can get regular spot there
We must have more faith in our youngsters and never looked back after we selling our top aging players for profit
for example If we sell Chiesa at 29yo for around 150 million then it is goodbye for him then we must focus on what we bring with that money
That lack of faith make us the declining team, because we keep using the old players that keep declining in value year by year
I am still okay if we really dont have place and put our players on loan to another clubs but the loan must be without option and guarantee the players getting the first time experience. The example is Sottil loan from Fiorentina to Cagliari, even if Cagliari have 10M option to get Sottil, Fiorentina have 12M clause to counter that option. If we apply this in Romero then, we can still keep him if he really outstanding while we can let him go if he is proven mediocre
