I agree with needing a midfielder and specifically an alternative to Kessie. That said, as I've mentioned many times why is Montolivo so trusted by Montella? You rightly mention Montolivo has stuck out for poor performances, yet we have Locatelli who as far as I've seen this summer and the bits we've seen this season, he's shown he should be ahead of Montolivo in the pecking order and at the very least wouldn't be deemed a liability.
This is why we need to assess properly what's needed in the market. I want quality midfielders, we need them, but then when we have a young talent in the squad that we hope we can build around for the future and in his place Montella insists on an ageing player whose performances has surely made him one of the most disliked players in the club's history, before looking at the market I would question why Montella's making the decisions he is with what he has.
