I wouldn't be fapping my ass off over mediocrity. I'm not you
Just cuz Conte knows him and wants him doesn't automatically make him an awesome player. Conte was also playing that STD infested shitstain Borriello last season; coaches have their favorites. They are humans, and they err, just like everyone else.
I'd rather get Kolarov or Armero for 2-3 million more, over the extremely talentless Peluso. Moreover, City are looking at him as a 2'nd, if not 3'rd choice LB/LWB. We need someone to challenge DC for the starting position, and displace him when he gets injured. Peluso is most definitely not it.
