So if one "transgression" is enough to make you an object of hate forever, what does that make Elvin?
I agree it should not make him an object of hate. But tell that to the people who blame Cannavaro and Zambrotta but give Trez a free pass.
Trez didnt sell himself like a whore to the media & say Juve for life,like the maggot did,Fred.Canna was Italy captain,so essentially one cant expect a national team captain plying his trade in the second tier of Italian football.
Trez is a legend,our most prolific foreign goalscorer.That's what he offers,a lifetime in Juventus history.
Yes he didn't. Instead he made it clear that he wanted to move
Btw, I never doubted his quality, on the contrary i believe him to be a quality striker even at this age. He's proven enough this season.

Fred-man, these people think whenever Trez scores I start punching things in my room. No, I shout GOAL like all do. You're neutral here, and you get exactly what my problem is with him - he is a selfish player, and when he gets dropped to the bench once the other 3 forwards are fit... lookout for another tantrum.
I'd understand if you criticise his attitude, he's a whiner and a moaner as hard as it is for Juve fans to hear that. I've never been too fond of his behavior, and believe me if Iaquinta or Amauri behave the same way, they'd be hate figures for all Juve fans.
What i don't get though, is you questioning his ability. I remember you said a few months back that by January he wouldn't score 3 goals, that was a rather rash statement to make especially when talking about a natural goalscorer like Trez. He has been your best striker this season, starting less games than Iaquinta and Amauri but scoring more goals. 6 goals out of 6 starts is an amazing feat, especially at the age of 32 when a lot of people thought he was finished.
You can hate him for his attitude if you want, but at least admit that he is still a quality striker.
Fred, there is no difference. He did not hide the fact that he wanted to leave. He did it on more than one occasion. (The hand gestures at the end of the 2006 season, I believe, was one of them)
so, he's not an angel, and he probably isn't a 100% team player. But those types are very rare these days.
But let's be honest here. The guy is still very productive, and is a valuable asset to this team.
One of my concerns going into this season was how he would accept a reduced role if it came down to that. Someone of his pedigree most certainly was not used to having to sit on the bench.
Now, due to injuries and inconsistencies with other strikers, he's getting a lot more playing time than, most of us would admit, even himself, has gotten this season.
And the dude's scoring goals. sure, I would love it if he got himself more involved in other aspects, but this year he seems to be doing it more than any other time I can remember.
But the real quandry that Ferrara is going to find himself in is when Iaquinta and Del Piero come back from their injuries. That's not a lot of playing time for 4 strikers who this year and the last few seasons have shown that they all deserve playing time
Indeed he is, i rate him very highly myself. IMO he should start even when Amauri and Iaq come back from their respective injuries.

Does anyone here doubt that once the other 3 strikers are fit and available Trez will be Ferrara's 4th choice?
I think there is a big possibility that that would happen, but i also think that it would be a shame if he were dropped to the bench despite his goal to game ratio.
