It's a simple thought to understand. You don't build your team on player who's not ready to be main player. And one of the criteria is he must be able to play all season long, 50-60 games. So you're whining that he's already overplayed by playing half-season, doesn't really get to that requirement.

No, it’s half witted. He’s going to be more and more ready every year. Inside of two years he’s going to be physically ready for 50-60 games a season. In fact he’s ready to play that now, but it’d be stupid to do that when he’s still developing physically. Nonetheless, he can easily play 35-40+ games a season, and not jeopardise his long term fitness.
And it’s not about the total number of games that he’s played this season. It’s about the lack of rotation once he was back fit. He just played back to back to back. Again, not a fan of that,
When building a team, you look at how that team is going to perform not just next season, but in 2, 3, 4 years time. You don’t go out and buy an expensive number 8 in his prime right now, because you have an 18 year old Mainoo, who is only going to become more and more central to your whole midfield set up. What you do do, is plan around him being the central lynch pin of our midfield for potentially the next decade plus, and you buy a quality DM to play alongside him (someone 25 and under), and you buy another midfielder capable of rotating with him and your DM. Because you need a good squad to compete.
So yes, you absolutely do build around him. Especially when your rebuild is likely to take 2-3 years, as ours is expected to do. We aren’t likely to build a team to compete for the title next season. There’s too much to be done. But the year after, maybe, and the year after that, certainly we should be. At that point Mainoo has grown into the team, his role, his body etc.
So, in short….again…..yes you do build around Mainoo; and just in case you are still in any doubt….your first post was based on a claim that you had just made up, and your second post tried to salvage your pride by doubling down on spouting bollocks. Your third potential reply has me on the edge of my seat.
Your post quality was the forum equivalent of Djemba-Djemba, hence I quoted it twice,
