Well i don't quite agree here. Whereas we will not know what will be with andrade until he can make his first games again, we don't know what we get with mellberg either. My opinion about this is that andrade will never become REALLY fit again (he'll play, but on what level is the question). as for mellberg, we don't know really. EPL defence is quite different from a serie-a defence, but i count on him. he's experienced and i think he can be starting-IX material. But that still leaves us with not too many options. Stendardo does well and is young. He proved also today against atalanta, that he's worth something. Too bad lazio probably won't give him away too easily after what he shows with us
Andrade is injury prone, but this isn't the main problem I think. Andrade seems to lose easy balls to opponents when he can build attacks. Stendardo is more solid and younger.
Selling Molinaro and landing Grosso with rotating the later with De Ceglie would be a wise decision. Molinaro, in my humble opinion, is a very clumsy defender. This doesn't negate that he always tries to work hard.

The same here. Even the presence of De Ceglie on the bench may urge Molinaro to do better, there will be a healthy competition. I see that Molinaro feels a bit safe this season because he knows that there is no other left back who can annoy him; Chiellini switched to the centre defence since the start of the season.
he's a big strong lad who has got a presence about him, I think in 1 or 2 years he will be a very dominating player.. I know Andrade hasnt yet got the chance with us atm but i feel Willy is a better player, just my opinion
I would definitely keep Stendardo... he's been a very reliable option since coming here.
If the rumor that Lazio will accept Almiron as payment is true, I jump on it like a fat kid on cake. Almiron had many chances, and he's simply not a big club player. Best to cash in now, while he can still garner attention and value.
If the rumor is false, I'd still pay the buyout clause, as I don't see someone better coming for less, and he's already acclimatized to the team.
De Ceglie/Grygera-Chiellini/Andrade-Legro/Stendardo-Mellberg/Zebina
Looks good to me.

I'd like to see Criscito make the team, but I don't think he will for three reasons.
1. He's not ready for a big club yet, and another debacle like this season, and he may never want to play with Juve again when he is ready.
2. He would most likely be the fourth choice CB, even if Andrade and Legrottaglie leave. Criscito is not ready to supplant Chiellini or Stendardo right now. One would assume that Mellberg would be more capable as well, judging from his form at Aston Villa and with Sweden. Sitting on the bench and playing a handful of coppa games might not be good for his development.
3. Andrade and Legrottaglie. I don't see either moving this summer. Andrade has no value until he's healthy, and Legro is a cheap and effective depth option with an extended contract. At his age, Legro wouldn't be ruined by being a bench player, we know he's capable.
In other words, I'd let Genoa keep him for one more year, then re-evaluate.
I also think Brazzo is more effective as a winger than a wingback, but he's definitely capable of coming in if the injury bug hits.
