Why the hell have we paid 18 million for Isla and continue to play inferior players in his place?

De Ceglie is absolutely atrocious and Giaccherini is a joke.

Isla is potentially our best RB and I think Conte is handling the situation all wrong.

Why isn't Barzagli and Giovinco in the lineup either? Both have been outstanding lately. Conte is underestimating this team by playing the likes of Matri and Lucio. It'll come back to haunt him.
This!

Also I want to watch Asa and Licht live, not Cace and Giac/DC. :D

Giovinco isn't playing because our best attacking player is available today. Like it or not, as long as Mirko is in the club - Giovinco will play second fiddle in any formation, at any time.

I agree Mirko is our best attacker and my favourite Juve player, but Giovinco should partner him. Not Matri.

I think Chelsea beating Sjakthar (twice) would be best thing to happen to us right?.

In that case it would be:

Chelsea: 1 3 3 3 points = 10 points
Juventus 1 1 3 3 = 8 points
Sjakhtar 3 1 0 0 = 4 points

Then we'll have to draw Chelsea at home.

I really don't think that Giovinco and Vucinic should partner up. They both like to play in the same spaces and it's quite messy. As inept as I think Matri is, I think he should start given our current formation and lack of alternatives. He makes the right runs all the time, it might be frustrating that he needs 3 chances to bag a goal but we look so much better with him on.

Or we could just win our remaining games and be sure that we go through.

Yep, this is the scenario I'd like.

Why does the pro-Isla argument always start with this?
Clearly when you pay alot of money for someone, you deem them worth it and when he's your biggest financial signing of the Summer you considered him a integral part of the team.

At the minute he's being cast aside.

Yeah, that conte fellow clearly has no idea what he is doing.

Possibly, although we don't actually know that.

In real terms €11m for 50% of Giovinco's contract is more than €9.4m for 50% of Isla's.
Shit :p

However if these co-ownerships are what we've worked on in the past. We can certainly say, Isla will cost us a further 9.4 million, next season.
