A couple of years ago he could've been sold for 20+ mil. These days, we'd be lucky if he can fetch 10. If he continues with his "development", he'd end up being loaned out for free.
He has proven to be nothing more than an average player at this point. He is 23 going on 24 and he can't be a "talented youngster" forever. I was one of the people that opposed his sale a couple years ago. But I think we all need to come to terms that maybe this is the quality that we'll see from De Sciglio in his career. There is absolutely nothing that he has shown in about 2 years that suggests otherwise. We also can't blame coaches for some of his shortcomings. It's not like it's a bad run of form. The guy has no explosiveness. He can be decent in his positioning but is not good 1v1. He is mediocre (closer to terrible) in possession and absolutely horrendous when attacking. I'm not sure which one of those things we can blame on coaches.
He should not be the first one to go as there is other trash to get rid of before. But if there is a good opportunity I wouldn't hesitate at all.
Sometimes some players just don't work out in certain places and do better elsewhere. If MDS goes on somewhere and turns into a top player, so be it. But AS OF RIGHT NOW, things aren't working out at Milan and I don't honk anyone can deny that.
Also, note that my willingness to swap MDS with Zaza, is with the thought that we can than freely sell Bacca and reinvest the money into a midfielder without having to replace Bacca because Zaza will already be here.
