Paratici is not responsible for selecting the captain, it's based upon appearances for the club excluding Buffon who doesn't want it
How are we meant to rejuvenate the team based on a limited budget whilst trying to clear out the deadwood that marotta infested this club with? last summer's mercato addressed it to a degree but it will take time.
Mandzukic has issues with our management because we wanted to offload him at a time when he wasn't playing and was eating a fair chunk in the wages, fine I get that, lets not get sentimental about it because he embodies everything that our club is meant to represent. In hindsight would keeping Mandzukic not knowing that Sarri would be sacked a season later and we'd need a back up #9 now whilst still eating into our wage bill and hindering the average age of the squad been a wise idea? not for me it isn't.
