Marrone is doing a fantastic job at CB in a three man defense, his positional sense and calmness on the ball is put perfectly to use there. Asamoah is a thunderous LWB. Would you rather have a player who is a left wing back of lower quality than Asamoah who is a CM and who can do the LWB role perfectly?
I agree with that, they really had great performances, esp Asamoah.
But i believe that an 18mil dedicated LB or CB would offer better performances than Asamoah and Maronne...
Them being better by DC or Massi doesnt impress me much... imho it happens due to the fact that our team is unbalanced, so that the subs of some position, are so much better than the starters of some other, even if they play out of position...
When we have the luxury to select our tools, we should rather pick the dedicated one for the right age and then, when the season starts, improvise the best we can.
For the record i also believe that Asamoah and Maronne can help us till, x-mas were Caceres and Lucio return and it would be wiser to focus our efforts on finding a better CF than Boriello, but Poli, would really be a very stupid transfer at this point...
