if we loan/sell him odds are he'll never return. we simply need to start trusting our youth products. we had a terrible youth policy for years. now that we have a pretty strong generation of youngsters, i think we should always keep those 4 homegrown slots filled with eligible players and give them regular opportunities for 2-3 seasons. guys like fagioli, dragusin, correia, rafia, ranocchia (etc) are already good enough to play against the bottom table teams. that's how bentancur became an occasional starter and a regular squad player for max, and a regular starter last season. ffs, we even have 5 subs now, it's the best time ever to start putting some faith in those guys with relatively low risk.
