I bet 95% of this forum hasn't even seen Caldara play.
He's the best italian defender under 28. Since they are all shit, no big feat.
People act like he's the second comming of Baresi or Scirea.

People need to remove their dick out of their painfull anus, and see the truth here.
Bonucci was a massively praised defender and it got into his head. Big ego man went out of line and was sold as fuck to milan. Where he failed dramatically.
Did he had a horrible season ? Oh lol yes. Like an entire year of his blunders he made at his start here. He's not meant to lead and take all this responsobility.
Did people forget how bad chiellini was at some point untill they placed fucking legrottalgie next to him ? Yeah, offcourse they did. Because at that point he couldnt lead and made mistakes all over. Like Bonucci does, except chiellini was 8 years younger so thats fine.
Was Bonucci overrated here ? Offcourse not.
Bonucci is a tactically excellent centreback that is great at holding his line, blocking out through passes and covering behind other centrebacks.
He has the best regista cb ability in the game
He's also a potent header.
His weakness is direct interceptions and stepping out.
When Bonucci left juventus, we lost the regista cb. pjanic dropped deep, teams pressed pjanic, dybala dropped deep and was choked. We saw Dybala and Pjanic had difficult seasons (yet pjanic somewhat managed), and we suffered immensely against every team that was skilled in organised pressing forward.
If Bonucci returns, we'll have two marauding fullbacks. Again a strong counter against the roflmao press. Dybala and Pjanic playing in their normal area's. Several high speed trains to play into space to. 2 players that can switch play with perfect long passes.
Arguably, Bonucci can be a bigger upgrade to this team then Ronaldo is over Higuain in plenty of games, just because of this.
If we cant get the ball forward, Ronaldo wont get feed either.
I hate bonehead for going full Narcissistic personality disorder and boot off to milan. He was rewarded with the single most awfull revenge season he could have.
lets take him back and win the champions league.
