Secco: Legrottaglie Is Doing Great
Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has hinted that the club may not need to bring in another centre-back if Nicola Legrottaglie can maintain his recent form.
After star-defender Jorge Andrade was all but ruled out for the rest of the season after breaking his kneecap, Juventus looked odds-on to sign at least one top-class replacement during the January transfer window.
Nicola Legrottaglie started the season as Juventus’ last-choice defender, however since coming on at half-time during the week four match with Roma, the Bianconeri have failed to concede a goal.
The ex-Chievo man has been a rock at the heart of the defence and even got on the scoresheet, during the 4-0 win over Reggina last week. The Italian media has been full of praise for Legrottaglie’s performances, labelling him as the 'new leader’ of Juventus.
“Legrottaglie is doing very well, we will see if this situation is the same in January and then make an evaluation. However there is no reason at the moment to have to bring someone in,” Secco told Sky Italia.
Legrottaglie joined Juventus in 2003 and was tipped as a future Azzurri regular. However the stopper had a complete nightmare first couple of seasons in Turin, making mistake after mistake, before being farmed out on loan to Bologna and Siena.
He returned to the Bianconeri last summer and it seems he has a final chance between now and January to prove to Claudio Ranieri that he is worthy of wearing the great black-and-white shirt.

Who didn't see that one coming?
This is becoming lame. His behaviour has improved and you still provoke him like there is no tomorrow. I can´t tell you what to do but you aren´t looking better than him with this attitude
I can tell you that I fear this is a big possibility.
