Lucas Paqueta is better than you think

We are absolutely terrible at developing youth. Players like Leao and Hague should leave if they want to get better. Or we need someone like Rangnick who can actually develop and nurture players well.

Cristante is ass, C+ player, Roma is his level - On other teams he would be on the bench

Locatelli was the trade-off for Kessie and his development

Paqueta came in January and had an Ozil-like impact with Piatek, he thrived in Milan actually, however upon Giampaolo's addition and the shift to 4-3-1-2 he declined and felt unsettled before he left.

Quite the contrary, Pioli had the best impact of development compared to all our previous coaches (bar Sinisa maybe)

-Kessie, Completely changed him
-Calabria, was about to be sold before Pioli came and gave him the best season of his career
-Theo, took him to the next level (Can't believe Ricardo Rodriguez used to start over him)

Others like Leao, Bennacer, Gabbia and Kalulu have seen more regular minutes and upped their all around game.

As much as i hate to let go of potential prospects, i really think some of the cases would've been better off in a non-Milan environ, the good thing is we are in no short supply of talent in the pipeline. We have Roback, Frigerio and Jungdal, 3 great young players that will hopefully make an impact in the years to come.

Don't be distressed about Pobega leaving, i've seen him, he's not the profile we're looking for in midfield. Plus we're already stacked as is
