If we had had him last season we could have won the Champions League.
Whoo eeee!! Good one. I'll have to remember that one.
For a minute there I had all these images of:
* Davids throwing his body in front of Montero, just before Montero was about to make a lousy challenge and get thrown off
* Davids picking up Legrottaglie after he trips over himself in his own box
* Davids coming on for a gimpy DP to score a few game winners
* Davids placing the ball precisely 2.3 cm from the top of Trezeguet's left eyebrow, so Trez could head in a score while standing idle on the pitch
So many Juve players, outside of Zambrotta, had such career-low-type seasons last year, we'd need about four or five different players on the pitch. (That ignores any possibility that coaching may have been partly at fault.) Outside of Zambrotta, you won't won't find any of our players on any "best of the season" lists last year... particularly compared to previous seasons.
And while this year's CL was typical of the unhearalded teams that have come to the fore lately, I honestly couldn't see that squad make it past Depor, Monaco, Chelsea, Porto, Milan, and even Real Madrid (as bad as they were) -- with Davids or not.
Let's only hope this season they'll manage to collectively shake last year's mediocrity virus that spread throughout the locker room.
