Romulo was anything but average last year. Player that you'd have definitely noticed. As for Pereyra, someone said that he reminds him of Marchisio and that's a rather good description, but Marchisio is not a bad player at all. Romulo was dirty cheap, 7-8 mills iirc, while Pereyra atm isn't worth 15m from what I've seen, but that's only my estimate. Both are significant upgrades over our previous bench players and rather young, therefore we won't be needing to replace them soon.
