I love the fact that I wish death upon a poster here (as well as his entire family being killed or tortured) and I was fine, but I made one little joke about Conte's wig and BANG infraction-city, bitch.
Conte's hair is more important.

In Allegri We Trust

No strawman.

What we do say is that the players he had were either mediocre (Matri, Vucinic, Quags, Pepe, Giach, Cacares, Padoin, DP), or poor (De Ceglie, Estigbarria, borriello, Elia, Krasic, Grosso) or veterans that need some serious revival (Barza, Pirlo) or talented players that never had a top level season before (Marchisio, Bonucci and maybe Chiello). Thats the fundamental premise. Take that mix and give me an undefeated season against an Allegri team that is also an Ibra team and you have something remarkable. These are not scrubs. There is immense potential in veterans who need revival as well as in talented youngsters that needed guidance. But these are not winners either and they need some great coaching.

Vidal, Gigi and Licht were the only players he had who were obviously quality and we knew that they were talented and in form before the season started. Everyone else was either a limited player or a question mark. We all knew who Pirlo was, but whether he can recover from a terrible injuries ridden year was a question mark. We knew Barzagli used to be solid a long time ago, but whether we can get him to be rejuvenated is a question mark. We knew Bonbon and Marchisio had talent but they were poor thus far and never expressed it consistently.

Conte rejuvenated Barza and Pirlo and pushed Marchisio, Bonbon, and Chiello to the next level. This could have turned out differently under a different coach. Simeone today is succeeding with Torres where many top coaches failed. Allegri failed with Pirlo before we got him. Milan has been failing at getting Shaarawy to perform since Allegri left (Monaco failed too) and now Spaletti is doing it right. Lamela failed to perform to his best until Pochettino came along. Mou failed to get anything out of Cuadrado, and Salah but Juve and Roma are succeeding. Hiddink has so far failed at getting Fabregas, Pedro, Oscar, Hazard to perform and Mou failed before him. There are so many examples.

The squad also had no bench in the middle and at the back and had no left side at all neither in attack (esti/Elia) nor in defense (Grosso/De Ceglie). So yes Marotta did brilliantly in identifying and recruiting players (and recruiting Conte himself) that he believed Juve can restore to their old best levels. But it was far from an easy job and most top coaches would have failed at doing what Conte did with this group.

Reviving seemingly finished players, pushing talented youngsters to the next level, integrating a large number of new signings at once, rotating using a very small bench, getting 100% out of mediocre players... thats what he did and we didn't lose a single match in winning that title, something our Galacticos teams could never do and we can't do even until now.
Congrats, this is such a croniosesque post. So many lies in here that I wouldn't where to begin. Although I refuted your arguments above a while ago so kindly refer to some of our previous discussions for more clarity. Not in a mood for another rigmarole. :wink:

He makes a point though. Since he was infracted for joking about Conte's wig, he should definitely be infracted and thus banned for wishing death upon another poster.

Wait, what was the point again @Bianconero_Aus :D?

Conte is obviously a legend. There is no doubt about that.

Pirlo is like Baggio. Legend of Italy, but not of one club, although if you had to choose, it would be Milan

I'm not even gonna go there with this. You know where I stand :D

Conte is wearing a wig. Or hair implants. That is fair game regardless of who you are

Hes talking about his thing with rufio where he did get the infraction, but only for one of 2 posts, i'm sure we can accommodate his request for consistency if he wishes though

I want to know wh you rate higher too :D
I love me some marchisio
But vidal :tuttosport:
I'd give away pogba and morata to get him back
And that is why you are not allowed anywhere within 1500 miles of Turin

But if you must know, my argument always was that when they are both at their absolute best, Vidal is better. However, Marchisio is more consistent and is far less of a liability than Vidal was when they were having an off game.
