I just haven't seen this talent and quality in his game for the past 2 years. He had some great passes, he fights hard for the ball but that alone can't keep him in the squad. Like you said - Pogba has been a beast this season and he still isn't a starter. Then how can Marrone be ever a starter ? After Pirlo retires and we sell Vidal ? And who knows when that's going to happen ? At least not for the next 2 years. When Marrone will be exactly 25 and will have played 20 matches for that period. I'm sorry, he's a likeable player, he's our boy, but we are talking about our potential #10 for the next 10 years. If Marrone is what it takes to make this deal happen - ok. I would rather give them Matri or Quagliarella, but if Luca has to go, then he has to go.
