I am interested to see what Ciro has planned for De Ceglie. Whether he wants to persevere with his development as an attacking left back, or instead, see what he can do on the left of a central trio of midfielders. Either way it seems clear that he wants to keep the youngster. Its also apparent that Ciro, as most of us also, recognizes the need for proven quality on the flank, especially with our new formation. De Ceglie is nowhere near ready to offer the consistency, maturity and solidity which Grosso WILL bring to the position.
This transfer is a beautiful gift to the supporters as well as further indication the the club is extremely serious about chellenging on all fronts for glory. And what's more pleasing still is that Grosso himself was willing to lose money, in order to join our ranks. He obviously has sterling desire to ride the new juve wave into the future...Admittedly, he is no long term option, but as others have said, he will definitely give us at the very least a season or two, of competent defensive and offensive options rooted in the left back position. Which is something we have lacked for several years.
Where does this leave Caceres? A challenger to ALL defensive positions? I am as eager to see him given a run in the team as I am to see Grosso...
On a more personal, puerile note...As I am in Australia, its especially joyful to see grosso join my beloved juve, because many of the aussies despise him for his 'dive' in the world cup 3 years ago.
Legro is solely a central defensive back-up. We may as well stop discussion of moving Chiellini to the flank. Zebina will hopefully be fit enough soon to show us he is capable of balancing the defence and offence on the right...And still...we have that other player, an unknown quantity, Caceres, who could yet come into right back, or even the middle, and refind the form which persuaded Barca to spend big on him a year or so back.
In defence, attack, midfield and between the sticks, we have a gorgeous, potent mix now of Proven Class and Potential Quality.
Forze Secco. Forza Blanc. Forza Grosso. Forza Juve...
