mind explaining the similarities to me? because last I checked, Pogba has been performing for us for over a year while amauri had a half season stint where he was impressive and then declined. not to mention the difference in age, position, and style of play.

and the similarities? i'm all ears.

Claudio Marchisio is hoping to return to action on Sunday in Juventus’ home game against Verona.

The Italian international has been sidelined since picking up a knee injury in August’s Italian Super Cup Final win over Lazio.

The midfielder had been pencilled in to be at the disposal of boss Antonio Conte for next week’s midweek round tie at Chievo.

However, the 27-year-old could be named in the squad for the Week 4 action if he doesn’t suffer any fitness setbacks between now and the Juventus Stadium tie.
:weee: I hope all goes well. We've had too many players injured at the one time.

ALC: amauri/Diego started EVERY game when they first came and did well at first then tanked. Only now is pogba getting regular playing time. He needs to be consistent for more than half a season (which I'm sure he will).

That's the only way any of us are drawing similarities.

Calm down over there in PA.

he was consistent all last year and is actually starting for france. totally different level of player compared to the brazilian duo douches.

You still don't get it, it's not about the player Pogba, but that he is in similar situation that Diego and Amauri was. I think Hustini coverid it quite well.

Yeah but that could apply to Tevez too, and just about every new player that has / could have a good start.
this. not to mention pogba has already surpassed that window of doubt that amauri and diego didn't. what a ridiculous point to make. it's like saying players have to have a bad start in order to be good later. i guess that means isla will be amazing pretty soon.

Hoping for Pogba to fail just so Marchisio could reclaim his spot. :sergio:

Amauri was proven? Apart from his last season in Palermo he was pretty average striker. Pogba won U21 WC and was selected as the best player of the tournament. As of few months ago he's also standard member of French NT. All that achieved at the age of 20. How do those two relate?

Uh, NO.

I believe he's the real deal. But he's only started 21 total Serie A matches for Juve yet. That's barely half a season's worth.

How is that the same?

Besides, does it really matter who of the 2 the better individual player is? For me, it doesn't. What I care about is what's best for the team, or in other words: putting the best possible team out there.

Which, in regards to Marchisio, inevitably leads to a very simple question: is the team better with or without Marchisio in it?

I haven't seen anything (yet?) to point me in the "without" direction. Others probably will have, going by what you tend to read on here.

How you go about fielding him or who needs to make room for him is an entirely different matter.




Obviously.

You'd think that would be the case for everyone.

without implies pogba within naturally, unless we completely shuffle our formation and claudio's inclusion is not worth dropping a tevez or mirko, so we are back to square one, pogba is the hot thing and we need to ride it and hope it keeps going

Congratulations. Yours is the first post to actually say or imply that.

Can't say that's a huge surprise.

That's where we disagree. I don't really care who the hot thing is. What I care about Juve is the team.
If that means one of them out of the team: perfect.
If it means both of them in the team: perfect.
And if it means both of them out of the team: perfect as well.
