Salihamidzic is not too old but he's obviously not young enough to hold a starting position in a team like Juventus. Some 5 years ago he was among the best Rb's in Europe. Now he's only among the best Rb subs in Europe.

But for the way he's been playing so far and how useful he was in many matches (he scored 2 goals and he has 1 assist in serie A, 1 goal in Coppa, his runs won us the point against Parma) he doesn't deserves any critics. He's versatile enough. Plays everywhere on the right side and he can play LB as well. If we had healthy Camoranesi and some very good RB, then Brazzo would have been our perfect sub for 2 or maybe even 3 players.
I don't think we had better subs for the RB or MR positions in the last 10 years or so, did we ?

I think it's very harsh to say that Brazzo doesn't have the quality to play for Juve. Yeah, for being a regular starter perhaps his not Juve material anymore. But for a sub to both Camo and the potentially bought world class RB, he'll be perfect.
Neither Birindelli neither Pessotto were better players than Brazzo but they were still useful as subs and Moggi kept them for years.
Brazzo never gives up, he runs a lot, he's trying and working hard and he's not a Molinaro when he has the ball at his feet. And we got him for free. He was a good piece of bussiness because every team needs such squad players.
spot on
i noticed that to he was playing well before his injury. but now hes just gone down hill.
Its a real shame because when he was brought we thought we had a very good right back who could cross well and defend very well but now we have liability on our hands.

Juventus to challenge Inter Milan in the Italian Cup too.

Juventus were meant to face Inter Milan, and face them they will. The Bianconeri will play against the Nerazzurri in the quarter finals of the TIM Italian Cup.

After Ranieri's team, who had the better of Empoli on Tuesday at the end of an incredible match, Mancini's men also qualified against Reggina, as was already obvious after they'd won the first leg 4-1 in Calabria. The return match at the Meazza ended 3-0.

Friday January 18 will be the key day to know everything about the super double match. Indeed the draw will take place, to assign which team will play at home in the first leg; the match dates will also be decided - for now they're scheduled for the 23rd and 30th of January -, according to TV requirements.

I don't believe it! The organisers still haven't decided who plays the 1st leg at home! What a bunch of :pumpkin: :pumpkin: !
