OK so we sell Krasic in January. We are then left with Pepe, Giaccherini, Elia and Estigarribia.
Giaccherini has proven to be quite injury prone and has shown next to nothing whenever I've seen him, Elia has barely played for us all season and according to some reports fucks around in training, Pepe has admittedly been pretty good so far but lets face it, he still isn't great by any stretch of the imagination and Estigarribia looks like a solid but not spectacular option.
None of these guys (IMO) can do what Krasic does, and that is, pull off a moment of magic that can win games for us.
Krasic has proven at this level (and also in the CL and with Serbia) that he CAN be an effective player who can win games on his own, but for whatever reason, it isnt hppening for him at the moment. Even guys like Di Livio, Zoff and Peruzzi say the same thing, it would be foolish to get rid of a player of Krasic's class so early. He deserves at least til the end of the season to show us what he can do.
