Give them another year where they might actually have smarter full backs to pass the ball to and have better support from and I highly doubt you will be whistling the same tune .

You can give him 5 years, but it won't change a players style of play, and Bonucci's style of play doesn't fit Chiellini's.

Doesn't mean they don't learn to adapt to each other and grow and a partnership. Again, good full backs that know how to defend and act as a pressure valve would do wonders for the endless long balls that we see Chiellini and Bonucci do. And that sir, has nothing to do with their playing style. It is because they have no where to pass too on either side of them. On top of that, our possession will increase as well making everyone look better.

Good fullbacks will definitely make our defence better as a whole. But it won't make the pairing of Chiellini and Bonucci any better. They will never become a topclass pairing, no matter how many years you give them to gel.

Two proper full backs might be all they need for the whole back line to finally click into a tough machine to beat. They don't need to be the BEST partnership in the world for us to win. Sure it would be nice to have, but not necessarily needed.

€50M for Chiellini? What a fucking joke. If we get half that, we should be more than happy.

Carvalho got sold to Real for €8M which is a bargain, and in terms of quality, Chiellini doesn't even come close. The same goes for Vidic, who also is on a whole other level than Chiellini.
To me it all depends how much we could get from a Chiellini sale. If a club would pay around €25M i would sell him. We should be able to get a classy replacement with that kind of money, who's younger and who could develop into a world beater.

I totally agree with you on the pairing of Chiellini and Bonucci. I said it the moment we bought him last summer, those two will never fit together. We should have bought Ranocchia instead, seeing as he's the type of defender who would fit in perfectly with Chiellini.
I disagree that Vidic is better than Chiellini. And Carvalho is simply NOT in any way. Getting 25 millions for Chiellini? He is born 1984 and you know that, right? He has 6+ top seasons ahead of him and he is the best defender in italy for close to 5 years... Jeez, I though by thinking of a sale at all I was not rating him enough, but you are on another level.
One should not forget that Vidic is playing with Evra, Ferdinand, Neville and a bunch of young stars next to him. While Chiello is changing partners like napkins, with the only consistent part of this strategy being him - the only one that has class out of his colleagues. Not to mention coaches, tactics ...
Mark my words here - if Chiellini goes to Real Madrid, and believe me they will gladly pay more than 25 mils for him, he will be the beast in seasons to come. Equally important to Ronaldo for them. Mourinho knows his defending and his desire to have Chiellini for quite some time now is well bespoken of. In conclusion, I would just like to add that if the fans of this club rate chiellini, our top player for years, less than 25 mils - i would love to see him proving them wrong. I have this feeling, that with him and Pepe at the back Real would make a new home record for Mourinho.

What do you think about Chiellini-Ranocchia partnership with shitty fullback ?

We want VDW and that's why Raiola was called to Turin. 10.5 + Grygera.

He also proposed Balotelli on loan.
Buffon stays and he will be our GK, says Marotta

Besiktas has joined the race for Bosingwa

According to 4-4-2 (terrible site) we're after Shaqiri

"Aquilani has surprised us, we want to keep him." Marotta
FUCK YEAH!!

Finally some good rumours. :p
