Amauri "The Immovable Object" Carvalho de Oliveira (148 Viewers)

Today we had a perfect example of why Amauri just doesn't cut it right now. In the second half, Del Piero and Diego were combining, Alex passed to Amauri while Diego made the run into the box. All Amauri had to do at this point was to one-time a very simple pass for Diego in the stride and Diego would've been completely alone with the keeper. What does Amauri do? Fumble, failure, looking stupid trying to dribble instead of just making the easy pass and of course loses the ball.
Of course everything can't be blamed on Amauri. But not even the most dedicated fanboys around here can deny his natural talent is very limited. How many times a season do you see him combine nicely or make something useful with the ball on the ground? It's not only that you will never in your life see him create a scoring opportunity with a nice throughball. No, the man is already struggeling trying to complete basic passes.
Amauri is a class header of the ball, sure... but that's it. These sort of footballers were supposed to be over with after Niall Quinn retired, and they sure shouldn't be playing for Juve.

He's a flop, but I honestly don't think it's necessarily his fault. The fact is we've had countless flops in recent times, the latest being Tiago who just left.
Now when you put all kinds of random crops into the soil and all of them flop, do you think it's the seeds there's something wrong with or the soil itself? We used to be a club that bought Vieri for less than 1m and sold him one year later for 10x the price. Not to mention Zidane. Del Piero. When is the last time we bought a player and frickin RAISED his market value?
See? It's not Amauri, it's Juve. Amauri maybe wasn't the right signing, but whose fault is that ffs.

Disagree. He has countless headers wide, over, or straight at the goalie. That is supposed to be his strength. What does he ever do to receive the ball? Nothing. Today, when you watched how well Vucinic opened up space for himself to get the ball, Amauri never does not. He backs into the last man, and waits for the ball to be given to him at his feet. He works hard at doing nothing. He works even harder at trying to get the ball back after he loses it. Sorry to disagree martin, this boy does nothing. He has players that will pass him the ball, that's not the excuse....the problem is his movement. Even trezeguet has better movement into space than this guy.
