that made me chuckle too
problem is, we need a CB...and everybody knows it
Funny thing is that there was an article on France Football of the top 50 most promising young players (20 year old and under) and Romagnoli didn't make the list. On the other hand, you have someone like Tin Jedvaj on the 40th place and that guy was sold this January from Roma for 7 million to Bayern Leverkussen even though he was bought only a year earlier for 5 million. Rugani is on the 35th spot.

My point is that Romagnoli is not the new Nesta or Cannavaro, he's a decent young player who in the Roma ladder is after Yanga Mbiwa, a central defender that Roma bought this year for 7-8 million. Manolas was bought for 13 mill last year.
Yes, Mihajlovic wants him ... let's not forget that Garcia also wanted Gervinho (who granted had a great first season and a very average second season and is about to be sold). Allegri wanted Matri, Pochetino wanted Osvaldo, Conte wanted Giaccherini, Mancini wanted Balotelli, Mourinho wanted Quaresma.
Destro and Borini were considered top talent after their first seasons, and look what their value is now...
We don't know what's gonna happen with a 20 year old. That's a period of time when things change very rapidly. This year he'll think he can break the world, next year he'll look at a chick and he'll be head over heels and forget about soccer. Spending 25 or 30 million for him is very rushed. The people that think that with him our defense will be fine for the next 10 years, are the same people that thought that De Sciglio was top 3 fullbacks in the world ... A Maldini, Baresi, Nesta is born so rarely not because there are no players with potential but because very few talented players are so consistent in their training and growth.
