a cb that is losely in the same level of the starter 3 is badly needed for rotation purposes, just like we need quality depth for the starter three cms.
for nationalistic reasons we want our keeper, lb and Cbs to be Italian. it doesn't nattering they are good enough, they just have to be Italians, we are willing to pay many more millions and sacrifice a lot in performance, just to make sure that they will be Italian.
Italian defenders used to be among the best in the world, now as you can see from the national team, they are not. that's why we need to accept some compromises, nationalism comes first, from all our available Italian options, few share ogbonnas quality and price, we dint have many other options really.
so yes, he is not all that great, yes he it's overpriced, but so was Bonucci and it never mattered, we let him made his mistakes, conceded si many goals, lost so many points, but always hold onto him, as he is desired by the Italian men, gay and women juve fans.
this is what matters the most, I had doubts because he is not as white as bonucci and our ultras have a thing with coloured players like balotelli, who have been granted full Italian rights, but now that I have heard about the black python thing, I see what we have seen in him.
the only other alternative would be rannochia, but he was always harder to get...
