Bonera and Ferrari at Juventus ? (31 Viewers)

Bjerknes · May 13, 2004

Right, that is true, the central part of the defence is the problem. But if Thuram is sold, and we do not find a replacement, we will be stuck with Birindelli there all season, and that is not a good idea. Birindelli is not the player we can rely on to fill the RB slot all season.

Stu · May 13, 2004

Birindelli is an excellent squad player, and a fantastic back-up imo, but I agree with the people who are saying that he isn't good enough to be our first choice right back. If Thuram gets injured I'm more than comfortable when Biri takes his place, but I'd rather get Trabelsi as a starter and let Birindelli continue doing what he's doing from the bench than start Biri and get say Oddo as a sub for him.

I dunno about that mate, but everyone has their own opinion.

I think Biri's a perfect substitute player, he's a decent defender, doesn't make howling mistakes and doesn't complain about being on the bench. I like the guy but personally I don't think he's good enough to be our starting RB

Mark · May 13, 2004

IF and IF Thuram is sold that's another story. Of course we will need to buy a RB.

Bjerknes · May 13, 2004

Thats why I said "if".

Mark · May 13, 2004

If we all agreed it would be boring.

He can play very well as a LB too. Remember aginst Madrid last year. He marked Figo and he didn't do zilch.

Let's say that he's a very very good backup that could replace the starting RB if injured.

Exactly.

So we all agree that Birindelli will take the role as luxury backup, a role that Pessotto played well for many years with us but can't do it anymore.

gray · May 13, 2004

Acually I think Pessotto can develop into a world class player. He's only young and has at least 4 seasons of world class football left in him.

happy now?

Jeezus Gray, I hope you're being sarcastic!

Adrian · May 13, 2004

but birindelli is a fortune cookie as well, u never know what to expect. he can play great one game, and pathetic the next.

A_LAcki · May 13, 2004

Biri is good, but I think we should at least get one right back, and 1 or 2 central def.!

IncuboRossonero · May 13, 2004

What I would like to know from you guys is this:

Would you prefer Bonera or Oddo?

A_LAcki · May 13, 2004

Oddo!

Eaglesnake_1 · May 13, 2004

Elnur_E65 · May 13, 2004

Bonera

sallyinzaghi · May 13, 2004

Thuram can't be sold, Biri is our only backup. The others are unreliable. If we get a new RB and he's injured Thuram would do well to cover. should both the new player and thuram can't play then we call in Biri. Too risky to sell Thuram now IMO

Elnur_E65 · May 13, 2004

Hmmm... Thuram's contract was not renewed yet, was it? When does it expire?

Bjerknes · May 13, 2004

Not too sure. I guess I would take Bonera because he is younger and has potential, but Oddo would add more to the team right away.
