Taking your point though, another year of Kenedy would be great.
It's ironic that Ashley's model of 'sign them young, with resale value, use a 'head coach' to develop them and then flog them for a profit' is perfectly suited to this scenario.
I could easily see us signing Kenedy for £18m or so, Rafa developing the shite out of him, and flogging him in 18 months for upwards of £40m.
Ashley needs to trust in Rafa.
Imagine him with a budget and some solid criteria around what's expected of him. He's outperform every bloody time.
