Rebic has done well for us so far. I think the swap worked well for everyone involved. Silva wasn't settled here, and remember, with Ibra in the squad, he'd only be on the bench, lose confidence even more and likely not give much in return. He would not be the same player for us as he is for Frankfurt.
I think we should forget about him. It wasn't going to work here at that time.
Having said that...even though it's understandable that sometimes it just doesn't work out for multitude of reasons.....those reasons should never be confidence. The club and the coach should show this to the players and show belief. Of course, the player and their mental attitude plays a big role too.
But the reason I'm saying this, is because we are constantly being reminded what confident players look like vs ones that have lost that due to little game time, etc.
So my biggest concern now is Hauge. We have seen Silva turn into a good player with confidence. We have see Paqueta do good things for Lyon with confidence. I don't wanna see Hauge go somewhere else and do the same. The kid has great ability but took a hit mentally....and the club and Pioli have to carry some responsibility here.
