Potentially, yes. Right now, definitely no.

Time to score soon, Claudio?

I really hope he shows some leadership and steps it up in the title run. Show us what it means to wear a Juve shirt, Claudio.

Pun intended, Gray?

Potentially, yes. Right now, definitely no.

Did you even get to see Conte play during his prime?

As important as he was to the team, he surely was not what you'd call a great player. Quite the opposite, really.

An "honest professional"

Conte wasnt the greatest player, especially technically, but he was the personification of grinta.

So, like Marchisio.

indeed, the tag of greats is only for the likes of Motta and Martinez.

So, like Marchisio.

We'll have to see how Marchisio's career develops, but at this moment: yes.

But the ever returning comparisons between Conte & Marchisio are pretty much right on the money. And I would think that everyone who saw Conte play back in the day is fully aware of that.

I do think Marchisio is ahead of Conte in terms of raw talent or ability, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of results or actual end product (no, not scoring a goal every now and again).

As a matter of fact, I did. In fact Conte was considered as a leader in our squad, mostly because of his grinta. Marchisio is not exactly famous for that characteristic. He's more of a water carrier type.

What he does to our team is certainly important, but as you said, he's not what you'd call a great player, and still has a long way to go to reach the importance Conte had in our team.
