i rate zuniga, he would be an upgrade to everything we have, but prefer Kolarov.
i believe that zuniga is a bit more offensive based and most of our left backs already offer that, what we lack is an option that would enhance defensive solidarity, someone who can defend better than peluso and dc and cross better than asamoah.
Ideally i would see us buy kolarov this year and secure zuniga as a free agent for the next year, so we can get rid of both dc and esp Peluso

I disagree Zuniga is a hack, Asamoah is much better.

i consider Peluso a serie b player that should only be fielded as a filler a la Pafoin,
as long as we play a three man defense, chiello will remain in the center.
I would like to see a dedicated lb, able to offer the tactical solutions we lack at the moment.
I really rate Asamoah, but he avoids defending inside our box, his characteristics favor him to seal off rapid wing players with great stamina. depending on our needs and adversary, i still expect him to start at most of the important games.

The better crosser we have there is Aston, but he cant really offer much defensively.
maybe during a game Conte might want to more defensive formations and defend a lead, or try out the four man defence vs certain opponents, at the moment we dont have such a tactical option.

I honestly dont know if ogbonna is fast enough for that spot and how much of an offensive compromise he might be.
With all those options at hand though, smth will work, at least on a decent degree.

But as we have been suffering from the lb issue for a decade now, i would really like to see it settled!

Let's say, for some reason that Conte decides to go to a 4 man defense.

Isn't the solution already in house, with Ogbonna playing CB, and Chiellini play the left back position?

yes it is, its a but risky though, for ex Chiello is not as young as he was back then, he he might have lost his agility, speed or stamina. But i trust Conte will find the lesser evil and this could be decent enough.

However to see us improved, in every line, i believe at upgrading the units with the best material we can find, preferably starting by our weakest link, at tjis very moment i consider our lb options, our weakest link and next in line to upgrade.
