I will always like this guy; very talented, but has the heart of a chicken.

I just think people don't appreciate how well this guy spreads the ball. We were bad when Diego was at Juve but thing would have been much worse without him. Fact - he had zero support at Juve, absolutely none. Nuf said.

How is that a fact?


Also Pepe > Diego.

It just is. Look at the team he was playing with. Look at the environment he worked in while he was at Juve.

We did abandon the 4-3-1-2 after Ciro was fired.

 

[JUVEMAN1211]

This guy deserved more than we gave to him. We gave up on him way to quickly in my opinion.

trololol

Rewatched Juventus vs. Palermo. There was a big difference between Diego and Pastore. It was not about how the two teams worked, that if Palermo was a "team" whilst Juve of that time not, but some details, i.e. Pastore could make great pass under pressure of 3-4 opposite players whilst Diego could only pass back o keep possession but unable to pass the ball forward.

Yea, he's too slow. People are impressed by his tricks and ball skills but he's not big team material imo. Good imagination and vision, but he never made that jump in quality, just like Robinho never did either. They're both midtable team material.

he was a diminutive Brazillian stud with the world at his feet...he was a chocolate panther,capable of seducing even the most frigid of females and the most hetrosexual of males

this summer witness the beautiful love story of two men whose brief encounter led to greatness for one and to the collapse of a career for another...

The Summer of Love
starring Droov and Diego

Diego is unlucky. He may not be able to carry an entire team on his shoulders, but that doesn't make him a bad player. His vision, and ability to make precision point passes through the middle are up there with some of the best in Europe, however and unfortunately, most teams buying him, give him more responsibility than he can handle, for his kind of game. To see, the real Diego, the most comfortable one, on the ball, he needs to be filled into a team where his primary responsibility is to do what he's good at. But most importantly, with the right kind of support and movement around and in front of him. Put Diego in this Juventus team and even though he may not tactically fit in the best way possible, he would be a devastating player because the players around him have more specific roles. I think he's one of the best players to have around for a 4231 formation. Not his fault he got sold. He deserved another season at the very least.

exactly right. he is underrated because he fails in team carrying roles which he is not good at but is very good in a high playmaking position.

Diego is unlucky.

It's what we always hear in this thread.

It could also be that he's overrated and average.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Badly over hyped. Nowhere near as good as his hype suggested. No big loss.

 

[blondu]

i wanna see the ones who are saying he sucked when he played for us.

I won't go as far as saying he sucks. But he's definitely overrated. No doubt about it.

Me? I was excited when we signed him. We made a mistake by thinking we could build a team around him. The Diego of Werder was different to our's and Wolfsburg's. He was indeed average to our play.
