Absolutely... I remember back to the 2010 WC, when Italy were stuttering badly I said through each of the group games to my cousin 'Lippi needs to throw Quags on', he had no idea who he was but came to love him after what he did when he was finally given his chance against Slovakia when he set up a goal that was wrongly given offside, and then that masterful chip that brought Italy within a goal.. After which as we know, he was signed by us and immediately hit the ground running, for all of Del Neri's faults as a manager, he had us 2nd on the table and Quag's form was a large part of that being the case. His injury was terrible and he has lost a year in his prime, without question, it has taken the best part of 18 months for him to regain his pre-injury form, and it would be a real shame for the story to end here. I hope for his sake, and that of the team, that Conte just gave him a blasting and he's sitting out a few games in punishment; even the best can make errors, and it would be best for all if he was given a chance for redemption. If he were stupid enough to screw up again, then the reprisals should become much more severe, and selling him should become an option if this is how he chooses to behave.
I much preferred Carrera to Alessio, in terms of subs, motivation, intensity and tactics... However, yes, this is very true, no matter who is at the helm, respect must be maintained for the good of all in the team!
He's had the most hurdles over the last 18 months of ANY of our strikers, and yet, is by far the best striker in terms of economy and out and out scoring. If he goes and we find ourselves keeping Matri/Bendtner/Vucinic/Gio then expect our striker crisis to continue. At the moment Gio is looking the most dangerous of the lot of them, but has shown considerable profligacy in front of goal this year, Vucinic is creating well (as usual, when he's on form) but his finishing has been ordinary. Matri is still missing his stride, and I've seen little from Bendtner to suggest that he could magically solve our issues (though, I am encouraged by his change in attitude and demeanour, I hope it serves him well for the remainder of his career, such in the influence of the Juve mentality!).

I don't know why ppl are referring to this "incident" as a one time oddity, cuz I'm pretty sure he's done the same thing at least a coupla more times in his last few games. On one of those that I remember, he did the exact same thing (pulling his jacket up while badmouthing) when subbed. He was sitting on the bench while doing this and Caceres who was a couple of seats away, looked at him like "what the fvck is this ftard doing?"
Anyways, this guy obviously thinks too much of himself (and not just based on these incidents, it was kind of obvious from the get go). Obviously bcuz of our inconsistencies up front, I hope Conte decides to overlook all this but I doubt there's much left of this guy's career at Juve.

This is a shame, as I do like Quag. Double shame as I think I am getting a Quag shirt for Christmas. Ah well, collector's item now...
I know people are saying that they can't just get rid of him as this is a business, but when shit like this happens, sometimes people find a way to get rid. He was hit and miss, after all, before he found his streak and who is to say that won't go away again. I think they'd be able to do it, but I hope they don't.
