Okay so Birindelli is good for bench but he is 29/30yrs? I would rather sell them all to get just 1 good defender.
Differences between Legro and Nesta- for the benefit of Xneo-
One of the 2 (you won't be able to tell Xneo) has great ball control, is fast, smart and incredibly hard to beat.
The other is slow, badly lacks skill, reads the game poorly and often forwards don't have to beat him becasue he's more than 5metres away protecting a nice patch of grass he has come to like. -very simply comparison, if you want more differences in the gap of class between the 2 Xneo, watch Nesta playing for Milan and Legro playing against his mum.

I agree, that Legrottaglie can remind a little bit about Nesta, but only when he plays good of course which is rare. Legrottaglie's only and big weakness is that he obviously is dumb as a rock, since he cant read the game and does all this mistakes, Nesta is a genius at that, and the complete opposite. But again Legro can play extremely good sometimes, i think he was good against Milan last season for example. Thats what makes it hard to judge him because you dont know if thats just luck or what it is, at least he's not consistant thats for sure. That makes it hard, because you want him out, but at the same time you havent given up on him, and still trust in him to turn out good.
One from Legro/Tudor and another one from Montero/Iluliano should go IMO. Given the injuries suffered by Tudor, and that he will probably fetch some value in contrast to Legro, I would sell him. Hopefully Iluliano will leave IMO because as it stands we have too many stoppers (Though not very dependable) which makes Montero more use to the team. Preferrably both should have gone, but as it stands I hope we can make whatever use of what is left in Montero. I do not really understand why we are so linked with Jank given that we have more pressing needs but I suspect that he may be used as a wingback or LM in 4-3-1-2 formation.
Anyway, this will give us Ferrara, Zebina, Thuram, Legro, Montero, Birindelli (I am shocked to see him included in the list of wast of space), Zambrotta , Pessetto and possibly Jankulovski. The thing that stand out for me is that we actually have enough defenders (And I havent even included Tudor and Iluliano whose sales are by means not certain) and that we are short on quality, especially in CB. More worringly, perhaps is that despite the abundance in numbers we may actually lack some depth. After all, injuries due catch out players especially old ones, and we have Montero, Ferrara, and Pessetto all who had injury problem in their careers. This leaves us with Thuram, Zambrotta, Birindelli, Zebina, Legrottaglie as durable players at the back line. Beside, the whole defence is unbalanced with Legro/Thuram/Zebina/Ferrara all opperating as stoppers leaving only Paolo Montero (Perhaps Tudor) as a organizer. We also need a wingback who can give us some width if Thuram is to be used as CB. So the pardox is that we have enough CBs but yet we lack them, and we have enough defenders and yet we need more. It represent terribly built thought team-building, and even with some critical signings I doubt we will be dominant force that we once were. However, an organizer at the back will make us competitive, and thus should not be excused from pursuing one. The conclusion I will draw is that our chances of winning is pretty slim, so we should only buy young players who represents value for money with the view to future development. And certainly not rush in to make panicked buy which we might do. Moggi should have got CB a month ago not now, and buying players who doesnt fit into our plans will not relieve the situation. Buying Miguel and getting options on Hettinga is a good start, and sweeper should follow.
