First of all, let me congratulate the team for being proactive. This is the kind of foresight we need to be competitive. Long range planning will be important. I care more about building a dynasty than trying to stay afloat season to season. This feels a part of that thinking, so I applaud the management
That said, I wonder if we risk a principal-agent problem here. On the one hand, how incentivized are St Etienne to actually give the player opportunities ahead of Subotic and Kolo, given that they aren’t invested in his future. On the other hand, if he does break out, how incentived are they to manage his health and make sure they don’t run him into the ground?
