You would bring back Criscito and half of Criscito?
Why do people use percentages of over 100% to try and emphasize a point?

I would bring Criscito back but try and integrate him sooner rather than later (not phase out Legro over the next couple seasons, rather I would try Criscito right away.) Those couple "years" Criscito could learn a lot playing with Chiellini and they could develop into a lasting relationship, why wait? I don't see Legro playing well with any continuity over the next couple seasons anyways, he is struggling this year I doubt the next couple years will show any improvement.
Criscito has been playing as a LWB in Genoa for some time now. Not sure if he'd suit into a 4-defenders formation as a CB, seeing as Gasperini doesn't even use him as CB in a 3-4-3 formation now and he doesn't seem to have grown much stronger physically during all this time away from Juve.
On the other hand, as a LB, he's very different to Moli. I'm afraid Ranieri wouldn't give him much trust and confidence as he did with Moli, not to mention we have De Ceglie, whom I don't like as a LW/LM.
IMHO, Ranieri has put so much trust in Moli because he really thinks he has the potential, not just because he has no other options. Ranieri strikes me as someone who considers energy and physics far more important. He likes players who run a lot, even if they are not very effective nor skillful. Criscito is more technical than physical thus I don't see him with a bright future with our current coach.

The world doesn't need another Wayne Bridge!
So if Criscito does return, he will most likely be competing for a left back berth or will he be fighting Legro for a spot in the middle...Reading the comment a few posts above about Molinaro was horrible but they made sense. I do think that Ranieri values athletes over technically gifted footballers. I suppose the real test for him will be when De Ceglie is once again fit. If Molinaro has continued his abysmal run of form, which has lasted a career so far, will Ranieri give the youngster a pop at left back*** Either way, the idea of Criscitio competing with De Ceglie for the left back position is far more attractive than involving Molinaro in any guise, be it sub, starter or ballboy.
I would definitely bring him back in the summer. He was too raw when we brought him back the first time and honestly he was thrown in the deep end too early. He should've been integrated to the team slowly and not straight into a sensitive position like the centre back position.
Also i don't think we would get anywhere close to the amount of money we paid for him.
