When fit. We started a season with 4 b/c we knew Chiellini's knee was going to take time. Then dropped to 3 when Demiral went crack. We were already praying no injuries or suspensions to Bonucci or MDL because knew how bad Rugani was/is. Now we are teetering on selling Romero.
We we really going to use Romero in some obscure deal, and go into next season with two at risk CBs and and average as fuck Rugani?

Most other top European teams like Real, Barca, etc don’t have more than 4 CBs and even then, the drop off to their least preferred is nowhere near as drastic as the drop off from 4th to 5th for us.
Bayern have Sule, Boateng, Martinez, Alaba, Hernandez and Pavard (who can also play there). They are all significantly better than Rugani.

Trust me that Romero is a class above rugani.
The guy was made captain in the game against us. He is one of the most consistent performers in that relegation team. Don't compare him with our 5th cb wimp.
I for however briefly I saw him, he never backed out of a tackle or aerial duel let alone giving respect to opponents.

It's not about Chiellini or bonnuci. Romero is probably better than rugano based on their play style. One is a wimp that backs from duels, relies on anticipation and reading of the game, the other is a warrior type of player a la Chiello demiral or de ligt. I don't think that Romero would have girly touch ibra on the second goal and would have allowed him to set up the goal.
No comment on only needing two fit CBs and not needing a fifth.
I don't think any club in the history of the sport planned a season or half season around only two fit CBs. That'd be....very silly.
Emre was poor as back 4 CB with Germany and only played that pseudo CB/CM role under Allegri where he somewhat formed a back 3. Vidal is a historically uniquely versatile player.
Your suggestion is right for next season...we need a reserve that can fulfill two roles, not necessarily a CM. A CB-LB would be ideal. I think signing such a player and selling Rugani was the plan before Chiellini got injured.
