Well, he does make a lot of mistakes and isn't exactly our best defender. But without a good alternative there isn't really a reason to replace him. Don't forget he was free last year - another good Moggi move.

Right backs are hard to find these days. Zebina is actually quite good, if he didn't make so many #%#%$ mistakes. I'm not sure Bonera is such an upgrade on him.

Right. It doesn't matter that Zambrotta's defensive skills are also good. Because he makes all those runs there's bound to be a lot of through balls via the opponents right side. You can have two slightly attacking fullbacks, but only if they don't come forward at the same time. Zambrotta's runs...

Miguel can tackle ok, but he isn't big and strong like Zebina. He's likely to be overpowered by strikers like Vieri and Trezeguet.

Zebina, Bonera and Gallas are 'defensive' right backs, so they won't make runs like for example Zambrotta or Miguel. This may not look cool, but it's actually very usefull to have three defenders back at all times. Especially when Camoranesi is already making the runs down the right side.
