either would be a pretty strong lineup for torino or bologna. besides the goalies and rabiot, none of these players should start for juventus in 2023. iling, fagioli, miretti might cut it in a few years, and there are a few good squad players here and there, but overall this squad is depressing as it gets.

i remember a coppa game under conte when we started with 9 italians and beat a lower rated team (like frosinone, avellino, pescara, can't remember) 3-0 with guys like giovinco, motta, quagliarella, padoin, de ceglie, ogbonna & co. probably asamoah was one of the non-italians, don't remember the other. that team was head and shoulders above the current one. now only the youngsters are worth watching, at least they give us some hope.

Was Estigarribia there as well?

One of the weirdest transfers ever :lol:

Wonder how much money Beppe made from it @Turk_Bianconero

You laugh, but Estigarribia gave more to this team than Paredes or Pogba have and did it at a fraction of the cost. For 500k loan fee and a 500k salary it was a very good deal price/performance wise. Giaccherini was another good deal, you need these players to fill out the squad. These days we fill out the squad with washed up and permanently injured best paid players of the league

Oh absolutely.

Padoin too. They were cheap and gave their all. I'd always take them over passengers like Paredes.

For whatever reason this was for a very long time the player I would get annoyed with the most. Purest form of mediocrity that started many games under Conte just because of his work rate. But then I would take any of those guys back in the day over half the squad we have right now.

nothing against the guy though he made more out of his career than he should have.

I was laughing at the dodgy nature of Estigarribia's contract. He was on the books at Deportivo Maldonado in Uruguay for 10 years but only played half a season for them. There's no way they gave him a decade-long contract when he first signed, so they must have kept renewing only to send him on loan to much bigger teams like Newell's, Chiapas, Atalanta and Juventus. Weirdest career ever.

Under Conte the desirable attributes of players was (in order):

1) Work rate
2) Concentration and discipline
3) Tactical intelligence
4) Technical ability

Some players had all four in spades- in particular our CMs and CBs. It was a system that worked so well in Italy, and guys like Giacch, Esti and Pepe shone because the system suited them. We just flat outworked all our opponents.

Wait a minute :lol:

Alex Sandro also did the Maldonado Tango before moving to Porto :lol:
