How do you know what's in the pipeline? Definitely 100% for selling a player who gets paid the most doesn't shoulder any responsability for team underperforming and has the nerve to ask for a raise.
I have a very different perspective. I would love we build our team with guys like MDL, Chiesa and Vlahovic as our main structure and keep adding players like that every year and not just “markets opportunities” as we always try to pursue. Yeah I know we are broke now and has too many deadwoods but still
Our MF was so horrible and our defense so weak that even Max struggle a lot, he made a lot of mistakes last season.
MDL has been going through the same, many times he tried to cover every hole he could in our defense and MF by pushing and pressing harder that he should. When you add that to how Ref has been doing monkey business against us since Matt arrove here it was a bad mix indeed (at least half of his penalties were too soft-questionable) Anyway. Time will tell if he shines in a proper team or not
