Fans forget fast. Rugani showed promise at a young age besides BBBC but he was just as poor as those other duds in the last few years. Couldn't even carve out some space at Ajax but suddenly we need him, lol...
He never complains for benching nd accepts being back up role, Igor plays him in rotation system mostly for Coppa games where the main CBs need a rest. We have terrible injury stat and He is always available to cover the spot when other options are out of form or injured. Right now, he can't be blamed for being mediocre because even Kelly, who is paid more than him, hasn't performed as well. Rugani is on low wage and I'd rather have a cheap option on the bench than someone at the same level with a higher salary.

Not really. He's been a solid back up, never complains and he's rather cheap as well. If anything, it was retarded to send him away in the first place...Just to then go and spend money on scrubs like Lloyd Kelly.

He's not cheap for a backup, neither has he been very reliable in past seasons. Him shying away from nearly every duel put the defence in difficulties on a regular basis.

I'm not talking about Lloyd Kelly here. I'm talking about Rugani and he won't solve a thing. We need better players. When Ajax don't want him, it should show enough.

I get he's available, yes but 2,2 million ain't cheap to be playing 5 Coppa games...

Let's stop the comparisons; everybody wants Kelly out so that's not some standard to measure anyone by.

Thing is we simply need to do better than someone that sparks the intrest of Parma ffs.

What do you expect! You can't find a player with under 2m salary unless you recruit from the football school and 9 or 10 years old baby. It's 2025 please grow up.

Dude, there are many players of his level who are well under 2m... Even in our own squad, Cabal for instance.
Even a starter like Gatti was around 2,5m (don't know how much it is now after his extension).

My guess is you're overestimating Rugani. He can stay as a sub for all I care but he's not a solution to anything. We need another fucking quality defender and if either one of subs leaving (be it Rugani or someone else) can make that happen, do it.

A nice stat: there are 10 teams who don't even have 1 player with that salary in Serie A this year and 2 other teams who only have 1 of those. On top of those 12 Fiorentina's 2 best paid players have exactly his salary. So yeah, for what he brings and how little he plays, I don't think that's "cheap".
