A discussion with you can't just stick to the single point, can it? Why the heck are we discussing whether or not opinions have value, how the hell did we get here? :D What you originally wrote didn't look like "just an opinion", but if you say it is, fine, no need to go on.

Read and find out.

I don't understand your fascination with extremes. Yes, "what if Amauri is a Luca Toni", that's a perfectly coherent to say, but it's pretty much equal to saying "what if I win the lottery this week". The mere fact that something isn't strictly impossible doesn't mean it's at all likely. Just...

Btw, it's entirely possible that Dikembe Matumbo could be a white, male and Christian. In fact, if he knew it would make him president, he very well might go for it. Michael Jackson did it, and he settled for being a pop star.

The analogy is completely wrong. Messi at that time was a talented young player who hadn't yet demonstrated his ability. Amauri is a 29 year old player who has demonstrated again and again that he isn't capable. You can't compare someone who's never had the chance with someone who's already...

As a manager you would have very good reason to be skeptical about Sneijder and Robben, because it is far more common for players to flop once they have flopped once, rather than to bounce back. But here there is also the mitigating factor that flopping at Real Madrid is less informing, because...

I did. It was ludicrous and I was hardly the only one to think so. Plus your prediction, despite how much you battle against it being called a prediction, absolutely failed. To dismiss past performance as a predictor of future performance is unheard of. No manager goes out buying new...

He had scored 12 goals in half a season over 18 months ago, at the time of this guess. Since then he'd been absolutely terrible at scoring goals. And neither does he have a strong history of scoring goals that one could point to in order to argue that "he's just in a slump". In any event, a...

It depends. Making a good guess is based on a) knowing the important facts and b) being able to assign importance to them. A person who is either ignorant or has poor judgment can make a bad guess, and if he's stubborn he can be immune to the rationale of other people trying to tell him that...

Yes, it was that far fetched. Given that Amauri has never even been close to scoring that many goals, it was far fetched and then some. And given that Amauri for Juve has scored even less than elsewhere adds to it. Only a ridiculous optimist could believe that Amauri was likely to score that...

No, it was a stupid guess from the beginning (sorry, reverend), and lots of people said so then and there. But in hindsight it's become even more obvious how poor a guess it was.

:D

Maybe I can help. What you're trying to say is that despite all his attributes he sucks, and there is no logical explanation for this, he's simply a freak of nature. :D

Juve Reverend :D

I don't even remember when he was last in action, it seems like he's been injured forever. Will he be the same? There's nothing better than a topic of pure speculation, because you don't need any knowledge to join in and guess with the best, so here.
