This morning couldnt started off better, before I do the celebratory griddy, @Mark is it really true a fully healthy Rabiot isnt taken to US tour? I really hope its for the reason we all want it to be.

How can that be true? I thought it was requirement for all the players during the season. I remember Woj getting in trouble during season for an overseas away game, and having to be vaxed to play. Rabiot was playing that game, as he was in every game, unfortunately.

It makes perfect sense tbh.

Have your 3 or 4 more established players and let the talented youngsters fill the other spots.

The only downside to it is that without injuries (lol) there will perhaps be a couple of guys who only get 10 or so games per season. The club weighs this up and probably will determine that at least one of them will go on loan to play 30+ games in Serie A.
I could think of arguments to send Rovella or Miretti away on loan, but in Fagioli’s case I simply can’t find any. I’d be very disappointed if he leaves on loan again.

Then you see the list of CMs that we currently have:

Pogba/Rabiot - Locatelli/Arthur - McKennie/Zakaria

and Ramsey on top of that shit. Luckily Ramsey won't stay here and Arthur is being pushed out. That leaves one free spot for Fagioli/Rovella/Miretti/Ranocchia. In a perfect case scenario we'd dump Rabiot too but then I'm afraid Allegri would ask for a 'real' regista aka Jorginho or Paredes.

What all of us would like to have I guess:

Pogba/Fagioli - Locatelli/Rovella - McKennie/Zakaria

But it won't happen. The kids are bound to leave on loan I think. Only one will remain and I'm not sure how much room that one will get.

If that's the case, hopefully it will only be one-year loans (no option to buy) to Serie A teams, and not using them as sweeteners for mediocre acquisitions.

Also, what do people make of McKennie staying, do you consider him off limits to sell this summer?

Danilo, Cuadrado and Molina for RB and no one for LB is like a kid that masturbates only with his right arm and his left is atrophied. Although I do like Molina.
