We took a punt on Demiral + Romero, and one of them turned out to be a future great. If it's 20-25m obligation, it's a small loss and was very much worth it.
Rugani is more than good enough as 4th CB for back 4 or 5th for back 5. Much overreaction wow.
Problem is when he has to play alongside Bonucci is back 4 and Gattonardo happens to be our fittest CB. They're fine in back 3.
And it's better when reserves are versatile - like Romero can play both CB roles plus RB. Don't know if he's better than Rugani but better fit. Rugani is hogging a spot in the squad for one reserve role, but it's not the end of the world.
