Domenico Criscito (93 Viewers)

It was possibly a bit unfair to give up on him after only a couple of games.

It was just one of those things that didn't work out at that time.

I don't know if it was unfair or not, but we had better options at the time so it did make sense to me.

:dielaugh:

We had better options at the time? LOLOL Grosso and Molinaro with Sali and DC as backup...yeah that worked like a charm for us didn't it?

I think he's referring to when he was initially allowed to go to Genoa in the January of the first season back in Serie A, rather than choosing not to bring him back.

I know....but what better option did we have at the time?

This is a guy who is Napolitano and from the Genoa youth team, people are pissed about him saying he likes those clubs?

I have no problem with him myself, but why or how did we treat him unfairly?

He wasn't up to the task at hand so we gave him the opportunity to play in a different team, rather than letting him rot on our bench. Seems to me like we acted in his best interests.

Sorry i was talking about here on the forum. The level of criticism he gets here is unfair.

Legrottaglie and Chiellini had formed a pretty solid partnership.

Criscito wasn't viewed as a left back at that time.

And who was backup at the time for them?

Stendardo.

It was better for all parties for Criscito to go somewhere else and get playing time, though, rather than stagnating on the Juve bench.

 

[Hust]

Eh, not sure about that but at the end being pushed out was not his fault and the title of this thread is bullshit because he only did what Juve made him do...that was leave.

Andrade and Boumsong?

Andrade and Boumsong?

2 strokes of mercato genius!!

My bad, simple misunderstanding.

Stendardo.

Didn't Stendardo arrive later?

And who was backup at the time for them?

Criscito was viewed as a CB at the time & possibly a last back up for LB.

His direct "rivals" for the CB spot were Andrade, Boumsong, Legro & Chiellini, with possible back ups like Grygera & Zebina. Even Birindelli was able to play in the middle, should that be necessary.

At LB there was Molinaro. Maybe he didn't have a "true" back up, but there were possibilities enough: Sali, Grygera, Zebina, Birindelli.

If you think that all these are worse options than Criscito was at the time, then I really don't know what to say.

It's official now

 

[Ken]

We're officially beheading him, or bringing him back to Juve?

 

[IrishZebra]

We're officially beheading him, or bringing him back to Juve?

Both.

 

[Ken]

What use would he be, without a head?

Better than Grosso.

 

[Ken]

Touché.
