I am a BIG fan of Claudio.
Watching him grow in stature game after game has given me the confidence to rate him along the same talent potential as Chiellini, though currently less developed. Both of them I see as having the potential of becoming true greats of their time.
With CHiellini at 25, CLaudio at 23, Giovinco 22, Diego 24, Melo 26, Momo 24...we have six players of definite world class potential, who could grow together into something wonderful. Lets hope we can keep Buffon for at least 4 more years. And continuing my optimism, Caceres will prove himself as having a decent amount of raw, rugged quality...Immobile could become our target man in the future, more like Rossi though, than Trez. Marrone could grow to add some menace and energy to our midfield...Strengthen left back, grab a youthful replacement for Camo( Iago????), bring through Ariaudo...and we could be the greatest team in history.
I look forward to Claudio's return. He still has a lot to learn...
