That made me lol. haha

Diego's a good player, nothing more. If I had to build my team around a treq, he wouldn't even be near the top five under consideration.

About Krasic, what I could say is that he's been better at what he does than Diego has been at what he does. Sounds weird but yeah, that's the only way I think they should be compared seeing as they have different positions.

The big difference is that Krasic ended up being the pivotal attacking player, when really he doesn't need to be and should be part of several in a better set up. He can be key or peripheral in a side. Wingers are like that.

Its always harder for a player to play in the middle than it is to play on the wing. Diego had a harder task than Krasic does, and he didn't have e right personnel around him. And those personnel were not accustomed to movement either having played a different formation the last four or five years before him. unfair to say whose a better player co their roles and responsibilities were disproportionately handed out to them.

That's a lot of excuses for a player that has failed far too many times.

At two teams, one finished seventh and the other just survived relegation. Surely, not the launchpad for superstardom, luck had something to do with it. Both Juventus and Wolfsburg, can't pin the entire blame on Diego for their failures. He's gone, and look at us now. Its not like we drastically improved. We repeated the same mistake as last year, trying to shift the core and responsibilities within the team, far too quickly. Had Diego been given a second season here, I think he would've given a better account of himself. He's a better player than he's made out to be. A lot of us here are willing to give Krasic a second chance, despite the fact, that he pretty much disappeared in the second half of the season. Fact is both succeeded or failed as much as the other. They only constant they had in common, was Juventus.
