Eh... what?
Frabotta was a normal player of our youth team. Not more than that.
Pellegrini, only one year older, was a starter for Genoa this year before the injuries.
Last season was a starter for Cagliari, with 6 assists and impressive play.
At Roma as a teenager he was starting plenty of Serie A matches and looking very promising.
There are different levels of expectations with Frabotta and Pellegrini. He might not make it to top level, as happens with most youngsters, it remains to be seen, but he has certainly shown much more promise than Frabotta and enough to be given a chance. We did sign him from Roma after all for this reason.
