A good argument was Alves, love him or loathe him, he was crucial behind our CL 'success' last season. No $#@!ing Italian wingback in the world would have helped us 'achieve' that.

Grosso did that in the World Cup 06.
Also we have better wide options now on paper at least with Berna and Costa, so having hyper attacking goalscoring fullback is not really important.
Id be fine enough with a fullback who can defend though.
I just dont get why its down to Cancelo who ive heard cant defend and Spinazzola. Like there are no other fullbacks to consider? Marotta had more than a month to address that situation. Its not like Alves walked in january or smth and then you get desperate.
