Be honest, the only time he looked worth the money paid for him was in first half of the 08-09 season. Then, he got injured and hasnt been the same since.
Maybe so. But today I got to admint he got starved of service, nothing he can do, exept maybe that pass that skipped diego, oh I dont know

Never said anything differently. But Del Piero has had terrible seasons yet has never been labeled a flop. So since Amauri was great first half of last season, that proves he's just in poor form.

Amauri is mentally struggling right now, and Ciro have nothing to add to the physiological factor of his game as he is clearly NOT another Pep Guardiola. When a player struggle mentally it means this is the most crucial time of his career. If it was Gus Hiddink, or Carlo Ancelotti you would see a different motivated Amauri.

By the way I think most members here are judging him since day one. Well heck I watched him since day 1 in Italy in seire A and he is a great striker.

I think folks need to stop mentioning Pep with Ferrara in every post. They both have different squads, different situations, and different opponents so it's really difficult to compare them as managers. Obviously, Pep is more experienced, but I'd say that with Barca's squad Ciro wouldn't be getting so much stick around here. And I also really doubt Pep would save us from all our problems.

I disagree, Amauri made a name of himself, just because he was able to deliver without proper service, he is strong, agile, technic and fast enough to make an impact by himself.
He is not on form now, but i m expecting him to be a competent SS, thats the least he can do, considering he is a mediocre finisher.

Just like i ve been saying for the day we bought him, he CANT replace a true CF finisher, like Treze, he need a finisher besides him to get the job done and know we dont have such a finisher and its counter effective to use Amauri as the lone striker, as long as he cant even do what he is best at (creating havoc by himself)


I had great expectations from Amauri, Diego and Melo, this year but unfortunately they did not deliver, those gents cant make the difference without our old and real champions!

so it's all over, eh? need I remind you we are still in NOVEMBER...so far, we are on track in all our competitions...yes we have had some struggles and some battles, but nothing has been lost and everything is still in our control...enough with the wrist-slitting already!

Our chances to win any titles were never good enough anyway.
The point is in my opinion, to make some decisive steps forward, in order to understand our potential and our needs.

The guys we have signed are great tools and there is always next year, those tools are young enough and will help us in the future, but some of our real champions are about to retire, (DP, Treze) we need to have them replaced with other champions, because apparently, the current crop, cant make the difference without such players!

I m not worried about this season, i never had great expectations anyway,
hopes maybe, but not realistic expectations!
But i m really worried about our strategic investments, because 75mil for 3 players, is not smth we can afford any day...
Our long term plans are more important than our current condition.
Our current condition only affects the quick fixes (Grosso, Canna)

enough blaming amauri he is the scapegoat day in and day out!

im sick of it!

what is he ment to do? we get the ball, we misplace passes, he cant dribble everyone.

ok what we do and it makes amauri look bad is that we get the ball fuck around with it in attack, deliver a poor cross or the odd good one or play a failed ball into the box.

its not amauri's fault

Don't other frontmen in the 4-2-3-1 come back to get the ball instead of waiting for service?

No service = no goals

We've seen him score goals with half chance crosses/passes/service, but if he gets nothing all game what do you people expect!

The passing last night was pretty shocking.

Amauri leaves the field for a problem in the gluteus

Besides the defeat, there is another reason not to be satisfied with the match against Bordeaux. The reason is Amauri. The Brazilian left the field on the 32nd minute of the second half, substituted by Giovinco for a problem with the gluteus. His conditions will be examined tomorrow when the team returns to Vinovo.

Great, now he is injured too :)
