In Italy there arent so many great and proven LBs, (even the NT has a real headache trying to pick one) however because of nationalistic reasons we have a fetish with young and unproven ones...
We have learned nothing from Molinaro and Grosso, we are still willing to try out every Italian made LB who has a few caps with NT and nothing more...
O well, at least we are interested on LBs, thats still better than more mediocre CMs and SSs...
