i supported him for a long time but its time to accept that he is not good enough for juve.
if we are not able to buy 2 target men for next year he is the one that should leave and not trezeguet. i think that palermo's manager said that he would like him back. so we can include him in a bid for Kjaer.

I didn't meant that, when I quoted him, I meant that he is really bad and I think that was his point. I didn't pay attention to how he came to that conclusion only because he made right conclusion.
I almost said that we need to give him another chance, but he got all the chances he could, it's time for a change. And I'm 100% sure that everyone would want to release him for free if we only didn't spent such a big money on him which is sad.

As I've said before, Amauri works better in a system with wingers and a lot of wide play. He is a target man who holds up the ball for the recruits to come storming up the pitch. Since our only width is from the fullbacks, they usually don't get forward quick enough to provide an outlet for Amauri. And since the fullbacks are the players providing crosses, we don't get many of those chances, which Amauri is supposed to excel at.
In the 4-3-1-2, Amauri is indeed always playing with his back towards goal as his only support is from right behind him. He doesn't have any support out wide, which means his link up play isn't going to be utilized as much, along with the fact he's a lazy ass who doesn't make through runs.
Get Amauri some width and he'll do better, like he did when we deployed the 4-2-3-1 or straight 4-4-2. But even so, he's still not good enough and we should be looking elsewhere.

Then you must have not seen him during his first season here or at Palermo. He was absolutely CRUCIAL when it came to holding the ball up, especially in matches such as those against Madrid in the CL. Everybody, including people who hate him now, were raving about that ability of his.
So no, you're wrong and misinterpreting overall ability for poor form.
And hell, I didn't even like the guy much before he joined, sheesh.

I used to think Amauri was good as a target man, but he has a horrible first touch that's let's the team down when we need to keep the ball in our attacking third, he fouls to often as a result of not getting to the ball or losing it, and third he dribbles too much. Granted he might not get as much support but when he does get it he doesn't take advantage of it which goes back to his ballerina style dribbling(too much).
Add to that his inability to strike a ball well enough to take shots on goal. He only seems confident in using his head and frankly we need a striker that can do both, not one dimensional.
