Like we did summer 2002, with Nesta ?
I'm not quite understanding what you mean. Your 1st sentence had me agreeing, but then I got lost and I'm confused.
I think comparing Romagnoli to Costasurta (in terms of status, not quality) is actually accurate. But then you said Romagnoli is the best defender we have, yet Billy was NEVER the best defender we had.
It's an interesting thought, comparing Billy and Romagnoli. As I said, in status, that could be great. Billy was never considered "the top" in Milan. There were always better defenders then him. But he did a job, a solid job, and he did it well. He complimented the others around him but was never considered "the most important" in the backline.
Similarly, I think Romagnoli can play the same role. He is not world class and it looks like he won't be. (Billy actually would be considered world class by today's standards...but back then there were legends of defending playing...some in the same line up as him). But if we were to get a world class CB, then Romagnoli can be the Billy next to him. Doing a solid job and complimenting.
Having said that..I agree with Hitman and others. To make him the 3rd highest paid player in the squad only to be "a complimentary player as I said", is not the wisest decision.

Probably not. They just got Mendy, so I immagine they'll stick with him for a while.
