Horrendous decision if we sell Kostic, especially for more defence minded player. Lets be real here guys Kostic is one of the few player who guarantees ~10 assists. He’s bought for very cheap, doesn’t earns much and is able to cover the whole left flank. We can enjoy him a few more years especially because the financial benefits of selling him are very low.
Looking to this situation from a very one dimensional point of view (buying for a 352 only) having Kostic, Iling and Augusto suddenly seems like too much. Any normal club would look ahead and understand that we might switch to a 442 or 433. Very unnecessary decision if we sell Kostic, I’d be against it.
Maybe he isn’t the kind of player we should aspire to have in the starting eleven but surely he earns a place in our roaster.
