Thiago Silva is the only regret I have on that list.
Pirlo WAS a regret because he really was one of my favorite players, but after all that he said I could care less. Also, as much as I liked Pirlo, at the time we let him go, I wasn't opposed to the move. He looked lost in motivation, did not play as well as he did in the past or as well as he did later for Juventus. We had MVB and he refused to play in another position. He wanted a long contract and management fed us all the shit anout 1yr extention to 30+ yr old players, etc. Again, it was a situation which seemed right at the moment. Maybe we should've moved him on outside of Italy though, but he was free to choose.
About the rest, times were different when it came to Darmian and Aubameyang. Nobody could've predicted their development. These things happen all over the football world and players mature at different levels during different periods of times. The environment that they went to had a lot to do with their development and had they stayed here they very well could've turned out bad.
Saponara, I simply don't think much of. I don't see anything in him, to regret his departure. I don't think he'll ever be a top player.
