Lichtsteiners width should be exposing Barzagli then. But I don't agree that Chiellini plays much narrower than Lichtsteiner. Lichsteiner appears to play wider because he is more willing to attack. As a natural and capable full back, he's capable of doing so without compromising defense. Chiellini does go forward and does attack and cover the flanks but he is less competent going forward and does so less often. His defensive positioning is not so different to Lichtsteiners. Good full backs can in fact push forward, position wide and simultaneously defend the flanks.
There's no reason why you can't have two full backs capable going forward. It should be imperative especially considering that we look to stretch defenses with out width and often fail. We don't need another CB we need a good LB.

When the RB attacks,the LB stays back and acts mostly like a CB, and the other way around.
So that the team almost always has at least 3 defenders. That's how i learned to play the position and how it seems to work out.
I can understand what Red says but it could work with 2 attacking backs if they know how to defend.
For example, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo or Sagna and Clichy, Ashley Cole and Bosigwa. Ofcourse there are the other examples like, Dani Alves with Abidal, G.Neville with Evra and so on. Either way seems to work if they know what they're doing.
Personally i'd prefer a more technical LB but i won't go nuts if we stay with Chiellini for the moment.

lets correct this crap. sorry cron, most is crap
1) How about vidal
2) How about vidal and lichtsteiner
3) How about lichtsteiner
4) how about vidal, lichtsteiner and vucinic
5) How about vidal, lichtsteiner, vucinic
6) how about vidal
7) They are gone next season, the ones remaining arent bitches
8) Communication is important at the back, licht, barzagli and bonucci, are all marotta purchases. but your argument is weak regardless
9) with 4-3-3, likely to buy another regista(monty) and ss/rw(borriello)
