Either from what I've seen or from the stastics, Acqua is not that a great player. Using Paolucci as an exchange (cheaply) and buying Acqua is stupid. I'm not saying we should not sell Paolucci, but Acqua is not even a huge update to Paolucci and they have similar ages. If Paolucci is considered as a mediocre then Acqua is not far ahead of him.
