...And why isn't the Christian Poulsen thread getting this same level of "posthumous" activity? :confused:

To make matters worse, we've got reporters asking Diego about Juve as if the guy ranks as some sort of Juve legend because he scored 5 goals for us or something. You didn't hear folks asking him about Porto all the time when he left for Bremen, and he played more matches for Porto than he did for Juve.

For crying out loud, Christian Poulsen played nearly 50% more games in a Juve jersey than Diego ever did, but we don't hear reporters continually asking his opinions about Juve's current situation. What gives?

I think he'd be great with us as well, now that we also have Krasić, and thing is, we didint have to sell him for the financial benefit.

We only got 15 mil € for him, if we kept him, he could play as an SS, together with Quag, we'd have less arial threat (like we even had any with Amauri) but we'd have a lot of flair and movement upfront (which we so lack right now).

Even when Quaq got injured we'd still have someone to move upfront, and we wouldnt be in this situation.

We got 15 mil € for him and spent 18 mil € on Matri, a player we got to correct a bad situation, a situation which probably wouldnt happen if we didint sell Diego.

So we spent 3 mil € to fix a problem that was already fixed.

Obviously he is not, but I like him a lot as a player. He could've been useful for us, if only he was given a proper chance. No point in dwelling on the past though. We have a grim present to enjoy :D

How many of us are? He just said what he thinks, no need to bash him for that, after all he was asked for his opinion and he said it.
Sure, makes me wonder who is asking him all these questions. His opinion means very little as he had one average season, it's as if he is a bandiera :howler:

Legend :lol:

No one saying he is a legend for us, but why do you slack a guy who says his mind, and even when he is somewhat right. Imagine if he is somewhat like all of us here and just says what he things about the club.

But why is a short-timer like Diego suddenly a Juve expert for the press, and yet players who have been with the club longer or played more games aren't getting the same kind of treatment. I mean, Trezeguet -- hello? What kind of moronic reporter asks Diego and not Trezeguet what he thinks about the current Juve. I haven't seen one reference to anyone even bothering to ask Trez yet.

Diego is a skidmark on underwear compared to the legend that Trezeguet is.

He looked like a nice guy always, wasn't good in a SS role.
I hope it turns out good for him, he should've stayed at Bremen instead of coming to us, Wolfsburg is a in a crisis too, not the greatest of places to be. Hope he can be the player he used to be at Bremen.

Thats just the way media goes I guess. And again lets not call him legend, because no one is calling him that way, not press, not fans not anyone.

Why it is him and not Juve legends that are asked, who knows, maybe thats the way the cookie crumbles. I would not get upset if Poulsen were to say something, it's his right to do so.

Maybe Diego is a fan of Juve like us, why can't he pretend to be some expert like 95% of people around here.

So are you implying that Trezeguet is a gigantic log o' poop?
