I get all that. But I wasn't talking about the financial side of it or resale value, those factors I understand the reservations for . But I meant just the outright shitting on top class proven player because he is certain age, while hailing frankly fringe depth young players as saviours.
I like our youth players (as 20 years here of me being excited by all our youngsters should tell you all) and the outsider Rovella.
But it reads as pure insanity to me to say no to SMS or Verratti because of them. They are very far from that level, they should be depth players at best until they show more.
No way in hell I'm saying no on footballing level, to top class midfielders who would start and instantly elevate us, especially after us losing Rabiot, for young mids who are all inferior to the current version of Locatelli, who I find dissapointingly mediocre so far.
I do not want to go into next season as our current options as next seasons midfielders. We will lose Rabiot and that bum Paredes, and who knows if Pogba will ever be fit enough to play more then 20 minute subs appearances currently.
So yeah we urgently need a quality boost in midfield. Games are lost and won in the midfield.
But this is all moot if we don't fire Allegri.
