Now about the contract situation, i think we should still hold up on that just yet. He has been playing really well.However we should still try and get at least a solid 10 games or more out of him before handing him a contract and eventually the responsibility of leading the defense till the end of the season.

Legrottaglie Close To Signing New Contract Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie is close to extending his contract with the club, according to reports in Italy.
Legrottaglie Close To Signing New Contract
The centre-back, who turned 31 last Saturday, has had a real fairytale reversal in fortunes this season.
The ex-Chievo man started the campaign as the club’s last-choice centre-back but after long-term injuries to Jean-Alain Boumsong and Jorge Andrade, he has established himself as a first-team regular at the heart of the defence.
Since coming on as a substitute in the week four match with Roma, Legrottaglie has formed a colossal partnership alongside Giorgio Chiellini and Juventus have since conceded just one goal in more than 300 minutes of football.
Legrottaglie has been rewarded for his fine form with a new contract until 2010 and all the formalities of the deal should be completed by the weekend.
The Bari-native 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 for the successful Serie B promotion campaign but it is this season that he appears to have finally exploded onto the Serie A scene.

We're Not Blaming Anyone - Legrottaglie
Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie talked about tonight's defeat against Napoli.
zoom - galleria Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie gave an interview to 'Napoli Magazine' following the 3-1 defeat at the Stadio San Paolo tonight.
"It was a bad defeat," he said. "The episodes penalised us, we're not used to that. Conceding three goals is not nice. It can happen to be advantaged, but also to be penalised. We realised something wasn't right.
"The referee made some mistakes; it can happen. We don't place the blame on anyone. We conceded two goals from penalties. Aside from [Walter] Gargano's goal, which surprised us, Napoli did not create any major chances.
"Let's not say we are in a crisis," he continued. "When it was 1-1 [Alessandro] Del Piero came close to scoring. Napoli didn't force Buffon into any extraordinary saves. It can happen to concede two penalties. It's not nice, but it can happen.
"We missed [Pavel] Nedved, as well as our coach on the bench (Claudio Ranieri was suspended after protesting last week during the match against Genoa)."
