He can play across the defense.

In all these last years we had awful fullbacks. I would never forget seeing Motta, Grygera, Zebina or Molinaro starting for us. The points that they had costed us and how they made us look like a joke in defence is something which has scarred me.

To have Lichtsteiner and maybe Caceres as fullbacks is something that means so much to me. To finally have the fullback-dilemma solved since 2007/08. It's more than just a signing for me. It's a step in the right way.
Selling Balzaretti :seven:

I love how eager he is to come back and prove himself here. The majority of players we've cast aside, for whatever the reason, nearly always ended up slating us.

He tends to have quite an easy job at LB for Uruguay.

Alvaro Pereira plays infront of him and he provides attacking width on that side and also does a good job of getting back to make sure Caceres isn't left exposed very often.

Estigarribia would be more similar in style to Pereira than Pepe.

Still, doing that would be quite a drastic change to the 4-3-3, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Given that he's too rash to be a good fullback, he's waaaaaaaaaaayyyy too rash to be a good CB.
You don't really like him :p

According to latest reports it's a 8m deal in three installments and no loan. Sevilla might have some financial issues and need to sell.

I don't like unreliable players.

I'll tolerate it in the case of talented forwards, in some cases, but signing defenders who you know are an accident waiting to happen just seems foolish to me.
:tup:

Haven't really kept track of Caceres since he left, but if his previous stay is anything to go by this transfer is fairly useless.
