I don't understand those who think he's the best CM we've had since God knows when and that he is certainly gonna be a world class leader for our team in a few years. He doesn't look like one in my opinion or at least he has not shown signs of becoming one. He's already 25, even in a pathetic Juve he did not manage to single himself out as a player with a promising future. Chiellini did, Marchisio didn't. But I also don't understand those who think he is, quality wise, far from being a starter in "this" Juve.

He is not that good and he is not that bad. He could well be a starter (yes, even over Vidal) and he might even have his ass benched for Pazienza. He could be very useful to the team depended on the circumstances and he could easily disappear in some other games. A reliable squad player for a top team, a player who can fight for a starting place in our team. So my advice is to stop bombarding his thread week in week out. It's not outrageous if he starts and it's not unfair if he gets benched. That's exactly what Marchisio is.
Well said :tup:

I though Marchiso was alright today, until the last ten minutes or so when he tired and gave the ball away a couple of times.

Stayed safely behind the ball, making simple passes and allowed Pirlo to go and do his thing.
Thank the good Lord, finally some sensibility in this thread and not some senseless bashing.

Finally something in this thread that I can agree with.
