I concentrated on you because I disagreed with you in particular, nothing more...
that would have been acceptable the first time, but why you kept going on that way ?
I dont see any reason why Giovinco wouldnt fit in our 4-4-2 (could have responded more thoroughly, but I would only be repeating everything that poster said who addressed you on this matter).
saying Giovinco is likely to be loaned out/sold because he is too offensive for a 4-4-2 IMO reeks of you trying to find reasons to a criticise board for the sake of it.
And he CAN play in a 4-4-2, one with a little freedom, we are solid defensively, but you act like we play catenaccio to the point we cant play an AM.
We have discussed it here, in several occasions, esp in the AMFs transfer thread, in Giovinco's thread and in most of the discussion involving tactics.
I ll try to make the very long story a bit shorter:
Our current formation suffers from creativity problems, CR inherited those problems among with the tactics that he inherited from Capello, through DD.
Our flat 4-4-2 leave very few options to respond against some certain type of tactics and opponents.
During all those years we lost a great amount of points and maybe even titles because of them! I would like to see those tactics changed ASAP. Giovinco would be the step in the right direction, he would be the player that would change the way our team plays after the Zidane era!
I personally believe in him and have high hopes on him!
But our current formation wont favor him, it generally amputates those kind of players and CR doesnt seem willing to change a formation to fit a player's skills.
ATM Giovinco is still very young and he lacks the power to do what Neddy does,
it is really unfair to ask from any young player to offer what Neddy does. And this is exactly what CR will ask from Gio, as this is exactly what he asked from Palla.
I was optimistic that we would change our scheme just a bit, a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 using a diamond would create a lot of space for Gio, BUT that would mean that we would need another CAM to help him for the times he would be suspended or injured, when our interest on Diego, VDV and other AMFs died, it seemed clear to me that we decided to keep the very seem formation.
The selection of a creative CF like Amauri indicates that we would rely on his efforts to create more chances instead of an AMF. The low interest on a new reliable LB, also indicate that a capable for defensive work LM will dominate this place, Neddy and Mancini can do that, Giovinco cant and even if he can adapt to this role, he wont be efficient and if he wont be efficient, he will be marginalized like Palla...
(in the Amauri stuff in general, its like you wouldnt mind them fucking up just so you can flame them).
I dont trust them and i have already seen enough of their disasters.
Trust me, i dont want to see anymore...
Many times over in these forums, we predicted a disaster coming and we were helplessly watching them, how they finalized it.
Both in transfer and other managerial decisions. I suffer watching our club being hurt that much and by so obvious mistakes! My posts here are just a far cry for this situation...
Dont remember when I was last active here, but thanks for the kind words nontheless.
I visited your forum and i knew who you are, thats why i expected for more.
I have seen what you are capable of and i am glad that we finally managed to reason!!:juve1:
Sometimes it's more fun that way. Strictly critisizing the post and not the poster is boring.
Yes it can be fun and it is also acceptable between friends, i am also doing when i want to break the ice, or when i want to make the discussion a little less tensed and finally when i want how far i can go with person without hurting his feelings,
but that was not the case here, i got fierce attack for my first here after a brake of 3.5 weeks
And the worse thing is that it seemed that it would keep going on like that, for no reason
I see no reason for that and i was sure that Osman was capable for much more than that, when somebody is a lost case

, i dont insist, but i expected more from a man, that i believe i can reason with!
