I don't think anyone would pick Sali over Candreva because he's only on loan. I can understand you would pick a similar, young player who's a Juventus player over someone on loan, but not in this case.

Sali is not getting any younger and that wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for him getting worse and worse. He keeps disappearing in games and adds nothing to our midfield. Candreva, who's definitely not a world beater, could be better than Sali and there's plenty of room to improve.

Ok, he's only on loan, but we just need results now. Zac probably won't even be here next year and Sali definitely isn't in future plans, so I don't think that's the problem.

The only reason I can think of would be that Sali is probably better defensively.
Do we play with 3-4-1-2 in the game? So the reason is Zac need a wing back on the right and he just have Zebina and Sali because Caceres is injured. Candreva is more like trequartista or attacking minded midfield. Zac would never play Camo or Candreva on the right wing in 3-4-1-2, i think

oh, did zaccheroni call you and tell you what he thinks? ... interesting ...

you make it sound as if you knew what the coach thinks, which you do not.

only because something does make sense to your football fans mind, doesn't mean that a football coach (who has a little more knowledge on football than you) does think the same ...

i could name hundreds of cases where you as football fan think "that does not make sense", but still the coach does not act like you would ...

what about giovinco getting no starts ?
what about the other youngsters getting no starts ?
what about capello not using alex del piero much ?
what about xavi alonso being too slow for serie a ^^ ?
what about loaning criscito after a few weak games ?

i could go on for years here ...
No he didn't.

I never said I do. While you think you do.

Actually not playing Candreva doesn't make sense to me but seemingly it does to the coach while not playing him for him being on loan doesn't makes sense at all to anybody but you.

So what if that's true, does that makes it necessary ofr Zacc to make such a stupid decision based on a rule you have that says "not every decision a coach makes should be sensible."?

I don't think virtual said that this is the only reason, i think he said that this is one of the possible reasons, and this agree with him, it realy might be one of the reasons, but ofcorse there might be bunch of other reasosn we don't know.

And you denying this just because you think it is not correct is wrong, because from what i understant it realy is a common practise in Italy to give players who are not loaned more playing time.
Im just saying its stupid to have such a "practice". If it truly is a habit in Italy to do that.

He gives the ball away nonstop and loses possession because he's too slow in control. Everything he touches turns to shit.

What a waste of time.

I was against it from day one because he was never that good to begin with and we needed to address other areas of the team. And of course negative comments were thrown my way because I thought it was a waste of resources and time.

But hey, maybe in another 20 years he'll be a player we need.
