which is why I'd like us to keep Angelino, allows him to develop playing a certain number of games, doesn't overwork Mendy, gives us the LWB option and he can outside really well. Him and Maffeo should be given a year here in the Zinchenko kind of role, and if they can oust Delph or Danilo they stay, if not they can move on, but give them a shot for a year in a free spot and give ourselves an extra option.
I'm not sure Angelino would like to go from starting 35 games a season, playing 90 minutes in every single game NAC have played, to starting 10 games a season like Zinchenko did - and that was with Mendy out the entire season.
Same applies for Maffeo, except he's got even bigger clubs after him.
Also Why would Mendy be overworked? He shares the role with Delph, no reason to overplay him.
