I think that a lot people (like me) rate Chiellini above Bonucci as a pure defender. He just lacks that exposure Bonucci got thanks to his long balls and assists.

Because of slipilini? I think it's down to the mistakes some of which were in big games that stood out. It is kind of unfair because chiellini always came with bigger expectations than bonucci and this is why his mistakes were multiplied. I admire chiellini for both his performance and loyalty. But loyalty aside I'm a bigger fan of barzagli.

I dont really think that is true. If anything Skinny legs is the one, who got the least credit of the three on this forum and Barza in the football public.
For me Barza is my favorite. Absolute monster of a defender. Does not have the ball playing skills of BonBon or the physical attributes of Chiellini, but he never makes a mistake.

On buying bonucci: "It was a crazy idea and we didn’t even want to try it, but then Vincenzo Montella told us to continue pushing,” milan's Fassone told Mediaset Premium.
I wonder how it came to fruition. I.e who made Milan aware of it. It's also interesting to see how montella saw the idea differently to fassone. Fassone like us thought it was crazy indeed but montella believed. I wonder if montella knew something. Montella was massively influential in donnarumma signing, he might have been equally as influential on this.

I hope so too but I genuinely think bonucci is a difference maker here. They've actually brought in a winner and someone who will push his mediocre teammates to get the best out of themselfs. These mediocre players will happily allow bonucci to lead. I'd be interested to see how the relationship between montella and bonucci goes.

I'm sure BD was being sarcastic 
Barzagli now:
“We had fantastic years together as teammates, full of victories and great achievements,” wrote Barzagli on Instagram.
“We improved each other, supported and found a rapport together with Gigi and Giorgio that I’d never experienced before.
“It seems strange not to see you in the locker room, that same locker room that some lately have depicted as split, with inventions and fantasies on rows and clashes.
“But we know the truth. Good luck for your new adventure, Leo.”
