He's one of the few we don't need who retains some value, we should ship him and get Ekdal and Marrone back for depth.
We dont need Marrone mate, he is not good enough to play regularly in Serie B and frankly he does not have the skills even to warm Juve`s bench. We should use players like him, Immobile, Ariaudo (who we already sold), F. Rossi, Giandonato, Iago and etc and etc... to include them in deals with teams like Udinese, Palermo, Genoa, Napoli, who actually work hard with youngsters and are interested in signing that kind of players from bigger teams. For example, if in the summer we are really after Isla from Udinese and his price is about 10-13 mln euro, we always can offer Udinese Marrone and Immobile (as they were interested in these two last summer) and some cash (3-5 mln), which is a hell of a deal for us, and the money we save we can use for other players. There is no need to loan out 200 young players every year until they become 23-24 years old and from being considered as potential youngsters once they now turned into average players with no future in any big team in Serie A or abroad. We simply need to offload players that we do not intent to use and bring in players, that can actually help us reach our targets...
Now, Ekdal is a different player... From what I have seen in last couple of years, he is improving his game and he can be of use next year. He is a little above average class for Serie A, he is not great, no world beater or something, but when needed, he can step in and get the job done. I like him, he is still young and can improve more, but already he has quite good Serie A experience. If we have the chance, I would be glad if we bring him back to Juve, for a much needed squad depth. And still, if we manage to sell Sissoko, it would be nice, if we get one more player, we actually need a back up for Melo, I cant think of a player right now, who can be perfect for the job, but hopefully Marrota and Co will sort that out when summer comes...
