About defensive record, we have to admit we have now reliable players on right fullback (Abate), CBs (Nesta and Silva), GK (Abbiati) and vice CB (Yepes). These players are the most important thing in giving such records. Other important poin is decent left fullback (Zambrotta), a unit-system play and Van Bommel who cut the ball from the opponent often before it went to the defenders (the existent of reliable DM like Bommel).
I don't think anything is stopping him if I'm honest, at 23 he's proven invaluable to us this season. While he's not likely to be a trequartista, behind the forwards he offers good pressing high up the pitch as well as physical dominance. On top of that, he's quick on the ball never really wasting time, which is a superb quality. His ability to dominate physically and workrate mean that he could be pushed back into midfield if he develops his game tactically. In this role I see no reason why he can't become world class as he's got pretty much all of the attributes required to excel.
I agree about your comments on the defensive record, and I think Allegri is the one most deserving of praise in this aspect.
