When we want to build a strong defense, we need to take a look at her as a whole.
We cant expect from two of our players to play as good as four players, that was the case this year and thats why our defense sucked so much!
Chiellini did very well as a CB, but he also did very well as an LB too,almost as good as Zambro, his stamina, pace and cross are wasted in the center, if we have plenty of decent alternatives in the center, then we could use his help on our severely exposed left flank.
De Ceglie is too young and Molinaro is too useless to cope in CL games and derbies.
If we want to keep Chiellini in the center, we should bring in a decent starter LB, otherwise i see Chiellini to be forced to cover our need in that side, as he was forced to cover our needs in the center this year.
This year both our flanks and center needed reinforcement and we chose Chiellini to strengthen the most important one,the center, next year two reliable CBs will be available, but our left flank seems to be as exposed as it was this year...
