What type of defender is he?
Very good with the ball with his both feet, very smart and his best attributes is his anticipation, lacks a little in Marking and in speed.

He started as a midfielder so his passing is incredible for a defender, would be perfect for us, with teams pressuring Pirlo, he could be the one starting attacks, something Bonnucci tries to do but he fails miserably.

Passes REALLY well, something that when chiellini makes you nervous doing he doesn't do. Reads the game well, stays cool, controls the ball well, good tackling too.

Bonucci was also supposed to be a good passer. I remember Chiellini calling him a quarterback.
germans had quality long passing backs in the past, and hummels is their heir.

but /care about long passing

his reading the game, anticipations and allrounded defensive qualities make him easely the second best best centreback in italy after tiago silva.

perfect partner for chiellini, since giorgio's pure tackeling and areal quality

Don't think Conte really is counting on Chiellini as a CB anymore, he'll probably never will play in that position perminantely.
chiellini's move to rightback was mostly because of the lack of a rightback.

what will happen, will depend on the market once more, wich is how we should do.

In case we get hummels in januari, sounds to good to be true, but still, in case it happens

and we win serie a and make champions league



we'll probably want to add another winger. a pirlo standin, a natural leftback

what we are actually buying, will depend on what we get the best deal of


if we'd be able to get ansaldi, we could do hummels and chiello mid, with barzagli and bonucci as standins, and de ceglie as standin to the right

if we manage to get a class winger and a standin, we might just go for barzagli-hummels, and put chiello again on the left.


market will tell us were we go imo
