Marchisio, Pogba, Khedira, Sturaro, Asamoah, Pereyra, and maybe even Hernanes are better players. I would not say Lemina is far superior to Padoin either. Shame he misses an entire season through injuries but it is not like he has been sorely missed either. I am more curious to see how our management rate him, who can see him during training and will have to evaluate for next season. I guess, and hope, Hernanes will be shipped next season and good riddance because we will need to cut down on CMs. Considering we can only sign up 25 players for CL and Serie A and with rules of having at least 4 "club grown" or whatever they call it, we will have to cut some legs to continue to accomodate the rules. I don't know who is and is not included but I suspect that some like Rugani are not since they don't need to (they are u-21) but next season we won't be able to do that. So... well, I am curious!
