The amount of hate he's getting is brainwashing at its finest. We'd need at least 3 new midfielders before thinking about selling Loca.
Historic club standards are of no use when assessing the situation today. If they would be and we'd have Deschamps, Nedved, Zidane, Davids and co., then yes by all means put him in the stands.

You're not listening. Who's talking about selling him? He can be a good solid rotational/backup player but if we build the midfield around him, we are probably not going to win anything significant for the next few years. Why do you think the management is looking to sign Tonali?
And at 27 years old, how much do we realistically think he can improve? I want him to succeed but he's going on a Montolivo career trajectory atm. He's spent 4 years here and should've had an impact like Barella has for Inter's midfield but the gulf in class between both is huge atm.
Forget historic club standards, even by the current shitty Serie A standards, he's not even a top 8-10 midfielder atm.
I really hope the Tonali rumors are true because Locatelli as captain and leader of midfield would mean another half a decade of mediocrity.
It's a shame David Luiz dint work out but upgrading the midfield should be the priority this summer.

Lets make it clear - Locatelli is way better than what 99% of this forum say. Yeah he is not Pirlo Vidal or even Marchisio but:
1. Team until now hasnt functioned properly and its not solely on Locatelli - In fact its more on the others than on him.
2. Locatelli actually does a very decent job defensively and when he is off our defense look more vulnerable
Its annoying to see the same posters make the same posts about Locatelli like he is our no`1 problem. Yeah he isnt a starter in the "Real Juve" but I can say it about anyone on this team except for Bremer who got an ACL at the start of the season.
Even Capello said it - Yildiz is the only one on the right level according to him and I`d go even further saying Im not sure Yildiz would be more than a Giovinco in our "Real Juve" era

I get your point, hate towards him can be exaggerated at times, but have you ever considered that you and few others trying to hype and overrate mediocrity through selective stats and odd comparisons might be behind the overreaction of those(which are the larger majority) that do not rate him neither as a pillar of this team nor as a fit for captaining a club with the ambitions of Juventus?
Nobody said he is the worst ever at anything, he can be a decent backup and squad player, just not a leader and automatic starter in midfield when he is basic at everything and great at nothing.
