Couldn't agree with this any more than I do!I would sell Paulinho and Dembele in a heart beat over Sandro. To have Schneiderlin Capoue and Sandro competing for 2 positions in that deep lying midfield would be better than having Dembele dribbling all over the pitch then passing sideways or Paulinho doing sweet fa for 3/4 of the season
The truth is that we now have a better player in Capoue to play the DMF role and he clearly cannot be relied on due to him picking up injuries, as sad as it is we are doing the right thing by moving him on.
As much as I love Sandro, it's worth remembering that his knees are fucked. We should jump at any serious offer.
On what evidence? I've seen Capoue have a couple (at most) of great games for us, but also several poor ones. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt in that his poor games were after returning from injury, but the same can be said of Sandro. He was fantastic before his injury, but hasn't reached the same heights after it. If Capoue deserves another chance, then I think Sandro does also.

I am hearing some fucking heresy in this thread.
or here's a whole game set of highlights for the Youtube haters
Only excuse would be if his knee is proper fucked. Capoue hasn't proven himself in the league yet. Pauli definitely hasn't. I don't want to end up like Chelsea, moving on top striking talent because they've spanked money on Torres
This is what I have heard.
