And I am not underestimating his abilities just saying that "great" is a word that is much bigger than Diego, at least just yet. The comparison with Del Piero came in the picture becasue players like him are great so it was weird to say that Diego is great.
The only difference between Diego or any other great player is that Diego still didn't play for a big club.
I find Diego greater than Ibrahimovic ,for example, yet the guy have played for inter, Barcelona and now he 's gonna play for milan. Although playing in big club doesn't make a player big per se.

Anyway let's agree to disagree here.

And I don't know if he's a cry baby, but personally I'm just not going to believe someone who completely changes his opinion/words every other day, as Diego has done. But that's just me.
I wasn't at home at the time we sold him and I'm not aware what he said back then. When I returned at home I saw him blaming the management and the Del Piero thing.
And I don't know how reliable that source was nor if Diego said any of those things about the management or Del Piero.

As seen with that English translation where he apparently called himself a champion like Trez, while in Italian his words were much different, I don't know why do you choose to believe everything that the newspapers wrote in those days.
It will be cool if someone provides a video. There must be a video from his post-Juve days where he talks about Juve.

Well, I generally don't believe everything I read. Actually, when it comes to football journalism, I believe very little of it.

All I know is that there have been quotes of Diego blaming the management, same as there have been quotes of Diego applauding the management because of how the deal was carried out. Quotes coming from the original sources, I may add.
Personally, I don't see any reason to believe the media when they have Diego badmouthing Juve, and then do the complete opposite when Diego is praising the club. You choose to "believe" the media, or you don't.
But you don't choose to believe them when it fits your side of the story, only to pay no attention when it doesn't suit your opinion. At least, that's how I feel.


Like I posted earlier, mostly because I felt it was funny :

And for a short summary of Diego's words after leaving:
* The club treated me very well, There weren't any problems.
* The club didn't treat me well, I had to learn about my transfer through outsiders.
* Alex was never the problem, I (still) have a good relationship with him.
* Alex was kind of a problem, considering he could end up being benched.
* Dzeko should not go to Juve.
* Dzeko should go to Juve.

I sense a pattern developing :D

That part about Dzeko alone is killing every reliability in those sources.

Saying a thing like "Dzeko should go to Juve" when both Dzeko and Diego are Wolfsburg players and it's the beginning of the new season doesn't look like a big possibility, does it?

I am also unsure about the "The club treated me very well" part.

Of course the Dzeko thing is not reliable, just like 99% of the statements you read concerning transfers. I would hope every one realizes that.


Again, unlike some people, I don't pay that much attention to what is (being) written. My point is simple though, why would I believe (for example) the statement about Juve mistreating him & at the same time choose to ignore the statement about how Juve treated him well? Since he, supposedly, said both those things.

I got what you're saying.
What I asked you is why do we accept that he said both those things? An atmosphere was created here that Diego is a confused individual who doesn't know what he's saying and is contradicting himself all the time. That post of yours was actually what started it and those who didn't like one of those things you mentioned, found it convenient to accept that Diego is confused and needs to see a shrink.

Sure, it's better to only believe what he said about Del Piero :agree:
I was the first one, the very first one here, who said that the Del Piero part could easily be an invention of a journalist or a bad translation (maybe translation from German to Italian?). I said it publicly and, iirc, to Seven via PM.

So if you're not talking about me, who is the one who believes only Del Piero's part.

You see what you're doing? You always do that. Your arguments sound weak when you repeat a lie or an invention just so it could become the truth after repeating it over and over again.

I was talking about you :D

Are we trying to divert the attention from Diego's quote above? I'd be careful because you never know if Claudio might decide to go public too after he heard Ciro and Diego.
I can't see why I should take Diego's words seriously when he changed them every three hours. There is something wrong with him in the mind. Might be the bitterness after not being acknowledged as a champion like Trez though.
Diego and Ciro.
Why do you think they both mention Del Piero and not another Juve player?

Why on earth would they make an accusation against Del Piero instead of Buffon, Grygera, Amauri, Marchisio or Camoranesi?
Actually, I know the answer to my question.

They are DP HATERS.
Like the DP haters in this forum.

Yet you made that click, bothered to write something and made another click.

You will probably do the same again when you read this post. And if you do read this post then it means that you visited this thread again and you're not so indifferent about Diego :D

That first quote is stupid to quote. You did try to divert the attention from a quote (false or not, doesn't matter) that didn't suit your case.

The third one is taken out of context. You asked why should you take Diego's words seriously and I told you that there is already a case where someone made a similar accusation as the one you can't take seriously so it gives you a reason to think if there is any truth in Diego's words.
You immediately dismissed that quote ONLY because it didn't suit you. It did suit my case but I at least acknowledged that it could be false or taken out of context.
You on the other hand played the lunacy card and tried to make Diego someone who belongs to a mental institution, not a football pitch.

Which means that you believed it was his words, doesn't it? So if it was really his words, as Buck said, he'd strike you as a confused individual who has no idea what he is talking about.

You didn't put it like that though by comparing the case with Ciro's and then also asking why all of them mention only one name. For something which is only a possibility, you wouldn't make a case like that.
