I’d assume Rabiot will hit the bench hard once Pogba is back. If we buy Paredes, it’s definitely gonna be:
Locatelli-Paredes-Pogba
If we go buy the reports that Allegri has a say in transfers, that means he was fine with Rabiot being sold and Paredes brought in instead, allowing Loca to be pushed forward. So I see Rabiot as a rotation option going forward if Pogba can actually remain injury free for the first time in years. Big if.

But Rabiot non si tocca 
Mgmt really fulfilling all of Max's wishes, they're really not giving him much room for excuses this season

some of you guys like to complain about everything , you can't blame this mgmt for Rabiot/Ramsey etc ..
8 CMs for 3 spots is too much tho. So it’s going to suck seeing Rovella being loaned out along with Fagioli. Hopefully someone comes in with a last minute bid for McSnacks so Rovella gets to stay.
Otherwise it’ll be: Loca, Pogba, Paredes, Rabiot, Zakaria, McKennie and Miretti as the 7 CMs this season.
On loan: Arturd, Rovella and Fagioli.

I think this is likely, and I’ll be pretty choked about it. They should really sell one of Mckennie/Zakaria and if they can’t they need to banish Rabiot to the stands. If we go into this season with just Miretti in our midfield rotation and the other two on loan we’re doing the exact same thing as last year and not using our young CMs to fill the rotation spots. Especially after all three showed they could perform in those spots.
I want to say 20% but it depends on a lot of factors - injuries, Allegri's system, and whether our rivals perform according to expectations or not.
On paper (yes, here we go again with the on paper BS
) we, arguably, have the best starting 11 (I'm factoring in the purchase of Parepiss), in spite of the glaring holes. However, our bench options are pathetic, and until Chiesa and Pogba come back, unless Di Maria stays healthy 80% of the time, we might even struggle to finish top 4. The margins are thin.
My concern is not only this season, but what happens beyond. In the summer of 2023, Cuads and Di Maria are both likely gone, Pogba is a year older, and Bonucci is, essentially, expired goods. We will, once again, have many positions/gaps/holes to fill.

Wrong poster, I'm not one of the negative nancies that complain about everything about club.
What should do, really? At the risk of repeating myself too many times, it's world cup year and Rabiot is starter for France, we had some leverage. Have a mano a mano, tell him he isn't in plans and wouldn't get many minutes.
Even if that fails, which it shouldn't, freeze his ass. That'd hardly cost us much more than what's it already costing us because Rovella I assume earns pittance.
We've had many immovable objects because of that, and blaming current mgmt for struggling to rid of them didn't make sense. But Rabiot's case this summer is different. You're asking what else we could've done besides submit to him and mama Rabiot.
And I don't just blame mgmt for this. Our coach started him over Zakaria last game, played him full 90 mins and confirmed Zakaria was left out for "technical" reasons. Rovella got 5.
