Backroom politics by Moggi it was.

Yes 2003 -> the 03/04 season i'm talking about concerning Miccoli. 03/04, a relatively disastrous season, the one where Lippi lost the plot. Season 02/03 was great, for Thuram and Buffon also.

True, but still Miccoli was our best performing forward. Yet, Lippi still chose to opt for one of the other forwards usually. Indeed :wth: Buffon and Thuram had been at juve since 2001. Settle in? Besides they both just came from what was one of their best seasons, on an individual and...

Yes, but changing it around every match didn't help either.

I think Lippi lost the plot somewhat in his final year with us. He made some downright weird decisions with his team set-ups, rotation (in the defence) and substitutions.

I'd also like to add that, besides Capello, Lippi also had a part in 'destroying' Miccoli's juve carreer. Lippi should've invested a lot more playing time in Miccoli in 03/04, where Del Piero and Trezeguet were rarely fit, Di Vaio managed to miss all easy chances and Zalayeta was loaned out.

I used to like Miccoli and rate him as a player. But i'm afraid he has missed his train to greatness. I think he could've been a star for us in 04/05, where we decided to opt for Ibrahimovic instead.
