Nah man, Arthur and Ramsey offered us exactly 0 this season.
Bentancur maybe had two games in which he worked hard off the ball but overal didn’t do anything. And I’m not exaggerating here.
I really invite you to watch a few games of them and then try to understand if they potentially could’ve played. Pirlo horribly misjudged the situation last year.
If there was any year for a midfielder to get a chance in the first team it was this year. If it didn’t worked, no problem we could’ve loaned them as they’re still very young.

True but this task is too much to ask for a kid of that age and experience with possibly only a few exceptions. The pressure is huge right now. I'm all for bringin them back when we have at least one more decent midfielder in the squad: Loca, player X, McKennie, Rovella & Fagioli sounds fine to me but only if player X is highly dependable.
Says who? You are overrating these players and/or underrating Serie B/A.
Rovella excels in Genoa. Neither of those 3 would be the best player at Genoa. Ramsey can be the best player for 5 matches a season sure, but that's not really useful to anyone except Wales. Bentancur has been in Serie A for like 4 or 5 seasons now and he isn't blowing anyone away. There are plenty of midfielders better than him. Young and old. Arthur has talent, he can do more, but as of now he only plays a handful of minutes, its not like he is doing much.
In Serie B it is not easy to be consistent. Someone like Arthur would still have to know how to defend, Bentancur would still have to learn to do more with the ball, and Ramsey would still get run over and injured.
Talented players deserve a chance and more often than not clubs benefit for giving it.
If I look at Serie B's best young player award they used to give (2011-2019). Almost of all of these players truly deserved a big chance after their Serie B season, and all that got it succeed.
El Shaarawy, Insigne, Verratti, Immobile, Berardi, Rugani, Masina, Morosini, Cragno, Tonali
Fagioli would likely win it this season. Deserves the chance over most of our midfielders.

Or perhaps I'm not doing either and you're overrating those players and underrating our current ones. It's all hypothetical anyways because none of Arthur, Bentancur or Ramsey will ever play in Serie B because they're way too good for such league.
By the way what I wrote doesn't apply to Rovella, he is playing in Serie A and doing well.
