idk why but I kinda believe the SMS links this time. They’re gonna make another big investment in the summer, especially if they secure CL.

No, its not an obligation, it's an option. And I believe one of the triggers is playing time. Hence, once he started showing his true form, we've completely stopped playing him. He's gone.
Rovella, Fagioli, Miretti, Pogba, Locatelli, should be the mids next year, probably adding a 6th if we don't sell Zarakia or keeping him.
As much of a fan I am of SMS, we don't need midfield reinforcements with this crop of young, wage-light, Italian mids. We need FBs, a CB, and probably a GK.

If we are going with three at the back moving forward, you'd probably want another RWB and then we definitely need a starting CB and a rotational CB so that FB need turns into a dire CB need. Bonucci is finished, Gatti is raw and shouldn't be starting in any big Serie A or CL matches. And GK need is pretty big. Woj is massively overpaid and I don't know how I feel being a top level club with Perin as our starter.
On FM the obligation is set at 25 appearances in the league during the season. Not sure how true that is.
Unless he really kills it in the second half of the season I don't see us buying him.
We need a 6th midfielder there. Fine with Rabiot extension if he continues playing like this. I don't see a difference in his effort which would suggest he's trying just because it is a contract year. He still has a tendency to disappear during games. But I see a difference in decision making, determination to get forward, pass forward etc.
SMS if he can come for cheap yeah ofc, but spending big on him while wide positions and at least one more CB are so badly needed would be very shortsighted agree

Yeah, I don't think we should extend Rabiot unless its a paycut. His 15 games this year don't excuse the years of average play.
An extension of Rabiot means probably a raise and even at his current wages its money better spent elsewhere. We can keep Rabiot for 7m net or we can bring back Rovella at 1-2m net and buy another midfielder. It's just not worth it imo. Even at his best right now, he's not worth 7m net because of the opportunity cost. That's money better spent elsewhere because we already have a overabundance of midfielders. He can be replaced by any one of Miretti, Fagioli, Locatelli, Pogba, or Rovella and even with a possible drop in quality, its not enough to outweigh reducing those wages.

doesn't specify, just says "sporting objectives." Considering they're out of CL and hes a bench player, cant imagine the obligation is gonna get activated.
