Molinaro is injured and he might be until the start of the season. That might mean that he won't be even able to pass a medical and since not many teams would want him anyway, selling De Ceglie was the only chance to improve the LB position (after we didn't call Criscito back).
If De Ceglie stays, and since Moli stays 99,99%, i'm not sure that we'll buy a new LB.
That's why i wanted us to sell De Ceglie. He's very bad in defense and average at most in attack. He's even less useful than Molinaro.
