They might. Both have shown much more than Rugani -who had one season of top flight football with a promovendus- had at the time if you ask me. But that's up for debate obviously so let's not go there

.
Demiral and Romero have that tough guy aura I really dig in a defender whereas Rugani always was more of a clean defender. Too bad he just misses any sort of bite in his game.
Just sayin' give those guys the chance and they might show it. Speculating one year further is useless until we see how they perform coming season.
