He needs to play and midfield is crowded, so I guess it’s logical move to loan him now and come back after Brozovic, sorry, Hakan and Mkhi are gone.

Unless we sell him outright.

Serious and open question: is there anything that anyone actually sees in Asllani that they feel really strongly about?

Or is this upset about Asllani just due to some implied potential as a young player who we assume has talent and will develop linearly until he reaches some kind of arbitrary skill level?

I acknowledge I'm being extremely harsh, but in the small sample size, I've seen little to suggest he's particularly talented or possesses some undeniable potential to be unlocked. He's meant to be a regista right? Yet he reliably overhits his long passes and frequently makes the wrong choice in transition - keeping the ball when he should release quickly or going for a long pass when the run isn't quite right. He randomly dribbles for no reason, indicating he's not as sensitive to his surroundings as he needs to be.

Granted, these things can be trained and developed, but on top of this, he's average or below average in terms of physicality, speed, height etc.

So you have a guy who may or may not have technical or mental attributes, but definitely does not have physical attributes. Compare this with Maxime Lopez - despite being a midget he's deceptively speedy, he's tenacious and unafraid - most importantly his passing and vision is excellent.

Getting Klaassen and shipping Asllani is a legitimate argument to be had because then we'd only have one regista in the squad. But I just don't see what people see in Asllani.

Technically you are correct - Asllani hasn't shown much. The problem is he never got much of a chance to begin with, 10-15 min cameos are unreliable sample pool.
There were plenty of games against weaker squads last season, and I'm talking about the chunk of season where we bounced back in terms of tactics yet while Brozo was still out. Hakan performed well but we could still let him rest a game here and there and let Asllani start. We never did that.

Inzaghi handled the kid poorly, even if there wasn't exactly a tactical necessity to utilize him.

It doesn't matter one bit. We got the guy. He eats bench. Gags started before him. As I said before - maybe Limone sees that he's shit in training, but there's no way for us to actually confirm that for ourselves because he's never had any minutes whatsoever to show what he's capable or not capable of himself.

Now we get Davy fucking Klaasen. Okay, sell Asllani's ass for 10-15M. I don't give a flying fuck about the guy. Maybe he's shit. Sell Sensi as well. I don't care. But don't get me Davy fucking Klaasen to bench 'em both. Why would anyone do anything like this?

he hasnt shown anything, cause he barely plays... if he played at least 10 full games, we would have a clearer picture.

It would be better for him to go. But who will be the vice-Hakan? Sensi?

It surely isn’t Klaassen. He never played as a ‘6’ before in his entire carreer.

That's what i m wondering as well. Yeah, they will probably shift sensi there, it makes most sense, no pun intended :lol:

Mhiki can play in Hakan position, played last season couple of times and was rock solid.

Tbh, you could only see that if you watched him a few games while he was in Empoli. He didn't get enough playing time in Inter to show anything. But I guess he has shown something in Empoli if we decided to bring him for 14M€.

This is his season. He can't afford another year sitting on the bench. The board has to talk with Inzaghi about his plans for this guy. If he won't use him more than last year. Asllani has to go on loan. Otherwise, he would end up as another wasted talent, and we would lose an investment of 14M€.
