What about if the problem with Agoume is not whether he is better than Gagliardini, but rather Inzaghi's inclination to prefer experienced players over youth?
I think the club has realised that it is better for our young players to be away from Inter getting regular minutes than sitting on the bench here. If you think about it, he has only really had a single season where he got regular minutes (at Brest). It is too early to be dismissive of Agoume and casting him away.
And just another thought, why does a player, in this case Agoume, necessarily need to be better than another player (Gagliardini) to sit on our bench?
The problem here is that there is absolutely no patience and all or nothing approach: the player has to either be better than our existing bench players or they are automatically cast away and need to leave.
For me, it is not about whether he is better than Gagliardini or any other player on the bench. It is about whether the club sees enough potential ion him that will allow him to get a footing or gain experience in our starting eleven. If the answer to that question is in the affirmative, then a player should be allowed to stay and develop in their own time without comparisons to other players on our bench.
You need to keep in mind that an answer in the negative and the decision to loan a player out is not simply down to the fact that they do not have the ability. It in all likelihood has everything to do with the fact that the emphasis here is on results and competing for the championship.
Accordingly, there is very little patience and only marginal room for error (as last season showed). Perhaps the club recognises this and realises that the development of our young players would be better served in a calmer environment rather than fishbowl environemnt that comes with playing for Inter.
More often than not, there is a middle ground. It does not always have to be all or nothing, great player or shit player, positive impact versus negative impact.
Agoume has only just started his career. He is 20 years old and yet there are posters on here that are already judging him as a professional.
Just a question: are you a better employee now in your given field than when you first started out? If so, why can't we extend the same courtesy to our young players rather than expecting them to be prime-Ronaldo at 20 years of age.
