We could easily have youngsters, like Pogba and Maronne, of this level instead of him, for depth...
Times have changed, we used to have a transfer manager who could handle the market so that we could train those youngsters in other teams and get the maximum of the Padoin, while they rot on the bench.
But now, Uefa has imposed the clubs to have a number of youngsters on the bench and every time we loan a youngster, we either lose him, or lose millions to get them back...
Not really
First padoin is somekind of jolly , he can play anywhere in middfield , not with exellent results obviously , but he has played in his career almost everywhere and has experience in those positions , something you can't find in a 20 years old kid .
Second and most important padoin is the backup plan , he plays when there is an injury crises , you can't do that to a young one like pogba and marrone , they need to get constant playing time , not be benched and be used as 3-4 option anywhere . That is simply a stupid decision
As for the rule , i was not in knowledge that you had to have a number of youngsters in the bench , the only rule i know of is the one about the players trained at the club , wich is 5 if i remember correctly who should be in the list of CL , not neccesarily on the bench i think
As for the young ones , well it is not happening only to us , times have changed , nobody trains your young ones for free , so unless you co-own them you can as well keep them to rot in the bench .
