Still don't rate Lucio, but the more I think about this transfer the more sense it makes.

When Mourinho brought him to Inter he clearly said it's because he needs a player who can play the ball, someone who can pass it, carry it and take it out of his own half of the pitch. And all that was true because Lucio was that player.

My recollection is that the primary thing Mourinho was looking for when he signed Lucio was a defender with pace.

He wanted the option of holding a higher defensive line without being too exposed.

Very good transfer, any defender looking to come was always down in the pecking order after Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli.

We've managed to sign a player who not only has experience at the highest levels but also who is a leader on and off the field.

Granted he's not great anymore but for what we require, he's one of the best we could get and to not pay a penny for him is a shrewd move from Marotta.

Much better than having Knezevic and Rinaudo on the bench.

It's a signing I expected. I didn't know it would be Lucio, but it became clear that we have our starting CBs, we won't spend money on a back up CB, which is good, and we will wait for some experienced free transfer. Our starting defense is set for at least 3 years, while Bonucci and Giorgio will last much more than that. With Caceres able to play there too, all we needed was this kind of signing. An experienced veteran with lots of matches at the highest level.

Lucio is the kind of player who is the worse on the pitch when the whole team is having a bad match/period/season, but one of the best when things are clicking.

I'm not really sure about this, Kyle. When Mourinho brought him to Inter he clearly said it's because he needs a player who can play the ball, someone who can pass it, carry it and take it out of his own half of the pitch. And all that was true because Lucio was that player.
