Summer mercato 2021

[porcho]

Why sell Bennacer for money? Weaken 1 part of the team to strengthen another? I don't see how opening up 1 hole to plug another makes us a better team. Then who will play next to Kessie? Meite? Tonali? Krunic? Come on now....

Kessie and Bennacer should stay and be the pillars in the middle. We need a CAM and RW and that's where we need to invest....but not at the expense of another starter. If we need to raise money, sell others. Sell Romagnoli. Sell Samu. Sell a whole host of other players. Sure, they are not as valuable and we won't have an easy time selling. But do not sell the backbone of the team. Bennacer maybe struggled after his injury. He hasn't been his old self. But nobody (apart from Kessie) consistently performed this 2nd part of the season. We all saw what Bennacer is capable of before his injury. He is pure class. We are not going to have an easy time replacing that. Certain players should not be available at ANY price if we want to keep building. Bennacer is one of those.

No one starts attacks like Bennacer does. that's for sure. but we would surely still need to consider it. 
I agree with not wanting to break up the team but we also need to keep growing. at some point we may need to consider selling a key player to fund the continued improvement of the team.
TBH. I'd love to never have to sell Bennacer, he's my current favourite in the team, but he would also give us a large profit on the books as well as bringing in some necessary cash. 
Not to say he should be sold for 50m but you'd have to consider it. I think anyway
