We however have Rugani out on co-own who has a very bright future. Caceres is only 27, Bonucci 27, Ogbonna 26, Isla 25, Asamoah 25

OP
But we already did:
(Asamoah)-(Bonucci)-(Ogbonna)-(Caceres)
We have a very decent sub line up that could be starters in lesser teams, as they reach the golden years of 28-32, by the time the current generation starts retiring, they will take over and they will be at their best.
There is no need to invest more now, we already did in the previous years, when we couldnt compete for quality options.

And I'm not arguing about this year. As I had stated, as a stop gap solution this is fine.
I'm worried about next year, and the year after that, when Barzagli falls over the proverbial cliff, and Chiellini starts to decline, and Buffon is most likely gone. A defense like this can hold the line for next season in CL and Serie A combined, and probably another year in Serie A after that. Once you get past that though, it looks bleak.
Serie A, although doing this a decade too late, are going towards younger, more athletic, if relatively unknown prospects on each squad, mainly out of financial necessity. What do most, if not all of these types of players have in common? Athleticism. De3fenses will need to be able to keep up.
I guess one of my obsessions is prospects, and how they can develop and grow as players. I spend way too much time looking at prospects, not only in football, but fuck me sideways, my obsession carries over into hockey and especially baseball
@Mark can at least attest to the hockey portion of my statement. And don't even get me started about the NFL draft @Salvo

int:Unfortunately we only have a limited budget and Marotta as a transfer director.
Bonucci, Caceres and Ogbonna were strategical choices that are already made.
Personally, i dont rate them, never did, never will, but i am afraid that they will form the backbone of our future defence and Italy's for the same matter...
at any case, this year's budget wont be touched for them, they must first fail, for Marotta and co to understand their real value.
I thought you guys were referring to the Sorensen and Masa times (two lads i rate very much, i cant wait for their generation to replace the Molinaro-Bonuccians)
