Erm, that article is from last season and is not relevant. This season he was given a chance to go on loan in the short term following his return from injury but wanted to remain at Barcelona for this season. It might change again in January.

I assume when you talk about nonsense you mean your previous posts on the subject? Do you even understand the purpose of a youth system?

You said XXX club doesn't loan out players - that was nonsense. Every big club loans out young players who are not playing.

Italy has no reserve league. It is not like Spain where they have a professional B league or England with a reserve league. Even then teams in those countries still loan out their better youngsters. There are talented guys in Italy just training for half a season because they are too old for the Primavera and not considered old enough for the first team squad. But then I am sure I have said this all before. Your argument is that we should not sign any young players or have a youth system because we would just loan them out, really, it is fucking hilarious. Perhaps we just introduce an age limit on our players? They have to be 25 or something perhaps? What happens then if some of those guys (like Almiron) don't play? We can't loan them out so they are stuck with the first team squad disrupting morale, or with the kids, and getting paid 100% of their wages?

Alen made some good points but you decided to twist them. Yago is not playing, so what is your point? He will come back and someone else will take him. Juve will eventually loan out Marrone and Ariaudo, what is your point? Where else should they play? Should we just sell them, even if they might become really good in the future, because they can't play now? You look at Barcelona as some reference point for how a big club deals with young players, yet they do little different at all. If a Lionel Messi came through the youth system at Juventus he would undoubtably be given a chance, and then it is up to the player to take it. The only plus they have is that they have brought through superior young players. Surely this calls for striving for better standards in the current youth academy.

Both are excellent players who I like to see at Juve. Cassano is as of now the better more proven player but Jovetic has youth on his side and time to develop further. There is no telling how good Jovetic could become at a side like Juve but there is also the risk in buying young stars that they can fail to develop properly. I would take Cassano today but at the end of this season who knows.

I think the question is who is the better, and not who would fit for Juve. You should vote for Cassano in this case.
Jovetic is young and very talented, but obviously, RIGHT NOW, Cassano is clearly the better player, that should be obvious enough to everyone. Its nice that Jovetic is getting this much acknowledgement, been obvious special talent since minute one, but the outcome of this poll is ridicolous (if one asked this 6 hours ago, I veeeery much doubt this would been the outcome), if they are voting on based on who is better. If they are voting based on who might be better fit for Juve, then I understand (one of the reasons being the one I mentionned).

Henry's days are over and Bojan don't seem to be the talent his reputation make him to be. Today Guardiola opted for two other youngsters instead, Pedro and Jeffrén. Jovetic would be the perfect replacement for Henry.
Jovetic is a bigger talent then Bojan, quite a few of the best youngsters are, even if Bojan is rather good, just confused and unfitting in what role to have in Barca (came through their academy, but he does NOT suit a 3 man attack). But Pep didnt choose Pedro and Jeffren over him, Bojan is better then both, and isinjured, and have been the last few weeks (why he is missing out on Y20WC).

The poll results are ridiculous, but also take into account that people are voting for potential as well as off the back of a great performance. Anyway we would just loan him out :shifty:

Yeah that is fair, you have to take that into account.

Having said that, I would vote Jovetic for the reasons given in Giovinco's thread, that I don't see Cassano as the oracle some do.

Hey it doesnt mean I wouldnt want to choose Jovetic either, considering the different factors, but the main one, is easy, if you are objective, Cassano is the better player at the present. There is little to no comparison.

I agree. Something interesting is this fascination with a new number 10, is it just Juve fans looking for a long term replacement for Del Piero or do you think everyone is looking for the next big number 10 talent?

Osman, I think a lot of people would have preferred Jovetic regardless of the Liverpool game today. However, for now Cassano is better in that he is currently more of a game killer.

Cassano is more than the talent, though. If it were, Lippi would have played the guy on the NT by now. Remember that.

I still think Lippi will call him just before the World Cup to ensure that Cassano works hard whole season and maybe so that he doesn't have enough time to cause trouble in the squad.
