It may be a stretch to say we lost out when selling him to Verona, he was then currently a serie B class player and we couldn't just loan him out to them forever to let them develop him... When Verona was relegated he was still considered as a big risk in defense, but it couldbe claimed we made a mistake at that time.

don't complain about the Cafu deal when we made it, unless you do it as a Juve fan. He was very important in taking the scudetto and we got him for FREE. That we later failed to cover or replace him is another problem.

He has no chance of turning out to be a very good player. You dont need to watch a player 1000 times to know if he is good or not. You can watch Kaka 10 minutes and you know he is a difference maker. You watch Grimi 10 minutes and you want to hang yourself.

If you want to keep any credibility do not ever claim 20 year old player have no chance of turning into a very good player. There are so many examples it is mindnumbing and that even of players none believed in. There is always a chance, maybe not this year or the next, maybe even he take the step in four years. You never know.

That said, this deal does not make much sense, while he is not much of a risk I can only think that we don't really care much for this position with this addition. Quite sad to see a 18 year old Brazilian national like Marcelo going to Real Madrid while we sign a 20 year old who hardly is wet behind his ears.
