Fully agreed with him there.

Do you have a source for the player saying anything like that? From what I remember, all his agent was saying he needs to be in the right club to grow and prove his worth.

It isn't surprising, why do you think Giaccherini is still in the squad? Berardi and Saponara both have had much better seasons than him lately. Top scoring Italian striker Pavoletti out, while Eder in bad form is selected. Sirigu selected ahead of Donnarumma. Conte is particular and weird.

Doesn't fit the profile of player Conte would select, I imagine. Not that Conte's selection process has made much sense over the last couple of years. It took him long enough to accept Insigne into the squad. Verratti hasn't been capped nearly enough either. - - - Updated - - - He definitely...

Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Federico Marchetti (Lazio), Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain) Defenders: Davide Astori (Fiorentina), Andrea Barzagli (Juventus), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Angelo Ogbonna (West Ham), Daniele Rugani (Juventus), Matteo...

He started against Udinese back in August, so I think he gets a medal.

That is great :D I know it has been obvious since he first joined the club, but Evra's role in the dressing room this season was even greater this season (especially given the difficult start), and some of these videos help show that. I really love the core of players this club has been built...

All the trash he would sign :cry:

Yes poor Coq, he will have to wait days until Wilshere's ankle shatters after a light jog. Wilshere probably peaked during that game against Barcelona. Poor lad.

So he has to choose between being broken by Arsenal's training methods and club mentality, going without European football at Chelsea, or having to put up with Ligue 1 football?

Inconsistency isn't a huge issue as there are plenty of game changers in the squad already, and Pjanic would add something different. Juve is the perfect environment anyway, players like that should be snatching at that type of opportunity.

Pirlo scored quite a lot of crucial free kicks in the 4 seasons at Juve. Important quality for me, especially against teams parking deep. I think you're right about his inconsistency though.

Maybe if a Brazilian player by the age of 21 had scored 38 goals and got 22 assists in Serie A this place would be going into a meltdown.

He would be fourth if they included Charles (29 goals) and Sivori (31 goals), who are excluded for some reason.

I don't think you can blame anyone for not getting into Milan or Roma. Silvio has refused to sell that club when there is the faintest sign of interest. Roma were recently sold and their project is underway, although stuttering. Inter was the better opportunity, and they ended up in Thohir's...

I think it was a combination of cost and his position. He was used in the trequartista position for Juve and I guess the club wanted actual wingers for Delneri, while also having to clear out all the Amauri/Iaquinta players possible. At the time I was in favour of keeping him too.

I find Zlatan cringeworthy and dislikable, but the way he left was tame in comparison to some of the others. Cannavaro lied and said he would stay at Juve in Serie C IIRC.

There's more deserving players actually performing in European leagues that Conte didn't call up. Saponara, Berardi, Vasquez, Sansone. Giovinco trashing MLS shouldn't count for anything compared to what those four have been doing. We all saw what he did at Juve when thrown into the deep end, as...

I don't even have any expectations, it'll just be fun to see how far he can take that squad plus Milan/Juve lads. Not disappointed Giovinco and Pirlo are out at all.

Started 10/20 games, appeared as a sub in all the games he didn't start.
