I'm too old for this BS!!

Again rumors have come about Claudio Marchisio leaving!! I don't have to remind anyone who reads my blog, that this would be truly devastating. Antonio Conte has said how Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal are untouchable but he failed to include Il Principino in this category, and from this, the media have interpreted Claudio will go.

Is Conte really that short sighted?? Has he forgotten that Marchisio has been at the club for 20 years and that his versatility, hard work and creative vision has been a key component in their recent success. Maybe he believes that Pogba is a ready replacement for Pirlo and this makes Marchisio surplus to requirements. But what people don't take into account is Pogba's age and temperament. Lest forget, he is only 20.

Claudio has made it crystal clear that he doesn't want to leave the Old Lady, and even when he eventually does go, he would rather go to the Bundesliga- I can't blame him!

Fergie was willing to shell out £25m for him, who is saying that David Moyes would pay this huge amount?

It's all just speculation at this point, but it is painful for a supporter to hear. What Conte should keep reminding himself about is that Marchisio is a great professional and will do whatever is in the team;s best interest, and what Claudio should keep in mind is, he is considered to be the future Captain of this club- can Man U claim the same??

Don't go Il Principino!!!
